FIG. 1 is a front elevation view of a shower curtain counterweight assembly, showing my new design;

FIG. 2 is a perspective view thereof, shown in a used condition;

FIG. 4 is an enlarged, left-side elevation view with the remainder of the shower curtain shown broken away for convenience of illustration, the enlarged right-side elevation view being a mirror image thereof; and,

The equal sized dash-dash broken lines showing the bathtub, the faucet, showerhead, and the curtain rail and rail rings in FIG. 2 depict environmental subject matter that forms no part of the claimed design, while the remaining equal sized dash-dash broken lines shown in the drawings depict portions of the shower curtain counterweight assembly that form no part of the claimed design.

The uneven sized dot-dash-dot broken lines depict the bounds of the shower curtain counterweight assembly and form no part of the claimed design.
