Referring to Figure 1, the bracket (14) includes a substantially rectangular body (1). The main body (1) has a substantially U-shaped slot (7) that partially extends through the main body (1) to receive a hanger, a pole, and any other suitable member. As shown in FIG. 1, a plurality of spaced apart grooves (6) are formed on opposite edges of the slot (7). The formed groove (6) can be engaged with a plurality of tooth-like structures extending from the second part or the locking element (2), and can be locked or engaged into the slot (7).

See Figure 2, a locking element (8) is provided to fit into the slot (7). A plurality of teeth or ridge-like structures are arranged on the locking element (8) and engage with the grooves (6) to position the locking element (8) in the slot (7). The boom (11) is fixed in the slot (7) by a locking element (8) located in the slot (7), and prevents the boom (11) from sliding off the bracket (14).

The bracket (14) preferably includes screw holes (9) to mount the bracket (14) on any surface. Alternatively, the bracket (14) can be mounted on any surface using hooks or lugs.

The bracket (14) preferably includes at least one light emitting element (4) arranged thereon. The light emitting element (4) is preferably a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) arranged on either side of the socket (7). The LED is electrically connected to a light sensor (10), preferably an ultraviolet sensor mounted on the body. When the wardrobe door is opened, the UV sensor detects the light and triggers the LED to automatically turn on the lighting effect. When the wardrobe door is closed, the LED lighting effect is automatically turned off. A battery (5) is provided in the bracket (14) to supply power to the light emitting element (4). Furthermore, a switch may be provided to manually turn on and off the power supply of the light emitting element (4).

The bracket (14) also includes a groove (2) for storing an air freshener. In order to close the recess (2), a cover (12) is also provided. The cover (12) can be hingedly connected to the main body (1) of the bracket (14) or snapped into the groove (2) to keep the air freshener in the groove (2). The cover (12) is provided with a plurality of holes or slits for emitting a pleasant odor from the air freshener so as to be easily dispersed throughout the closet.

In another embodiment, at least one image capturing device (3) is mounted in the bracket (14), such as a pinhole camera capable of capturing or recording images. The image capturing device (3) includes a wireless communication module capable of wirelessly communicating with the device. Users install applications in their devices and receive images or videos from image capture devices (3) via applications, text or email. In another embodiment, the alarm (15) is installed in the cradle (14) and wirelessly communicates with the image capture device (3). In the event of an emergency, the alarm is triggered to automatically generate a sound or be reminded by the user Information about the incident from others.

Referring to FIG. 3, two brackets (14) are respectively installed on opposite walls of a wardrobe. The boom (11) is arranged between the brackets (14) by inserting each end thereof into the slot (7) of the bracket (14), respectively. The locking element (8) is inserted into the slot (7) to position the boom (11).

Referring to Figure 4, there is shown a bracket (14) that holds a hanger. The hanger has a plug (13) which can be fitted into a slot (7) of the bracket (14). A plurality of ridges are provided on the plug (13) to lock in the grooves (6) of the socket (7). The plug (13) is mounted on the hanger body, for example, by being integrally formed with the hanger body. The hanger body can be any size or shape to hang clothes on it.

The invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the essential characteristics. The described embodiments are to be considered in all respects only as illustrative and not restrictive. Therefore, the scope of the present invention is defined by the scope of the appended invention application patent, rather than being expressed by the foregoing description.
