A curtain holding device of the type for use in association with a shower curtain for holding the shower curtain against billowing into the shower area during use of the shower. The device is attachable to the shower curtain support rod together with the shower curtain so that a number of the devices may be drawn to spaced intervals along the intermediate portion of the support rod when the curtain is drawn from an open to a closed position. Unlike known shower curtain controlling devices, the device of the present invention includes a weighted member which provides a turning moment on an elongated curtain engaging member so as to force the member to pivot outwardly from the shower area not only to prevent the curtain from being drawn into the shower area but to hold an intermediate portion of the shower curtain outwardly from the shower area and thereby provide an enlarged shower area, particularly at an elbow height for the user of the shower. Because the device moves with the shower curtain to the open position, the weighted structure, which provides the turning force to the curtain engaging member when the curtain is closed, is connected to the curtain engaging member in a manner to permit it to be disengaged from its active position and to swing to a free hanging position so as not to cause the open curtain to be distorted.
