- The present invention relates to clothes hangers, and particularly relates to an aroma clothes hanger.
- Conventional clothes hangers have been used for centuries to organize articles of clothing and to keep the clothing from becoming wrinkled and disheveled. However, very few innovations have been promoted to solve the problem of dissuading insects from eating one's clothes. Typically, one would hang a sack of mothballs around the neck of the hanger to repel moths and other clothing eating insects. Clothing has become so expensive, that one is always dismayed when you remove an expensive wool coat from your closet, only to find moth holes in a conspicuous place on the front lapel, rendering the coat unwearable. Further, taking a sweater from your closet is equally upsetting when there are holes in the sweater from bugs. In that regard, prior attempts have also included hanging sachets not only from the neck or hanging bar of a clothes hanger, but within the closet itself to scent the entire closet.
- One of the problems with the prior art devices is that there has not been any control over the level of scenting. Sometimes the scenting is too strong, or the naphthalene smell of mothballs is so strong that it not only is repelling to bugs, it is also repugnant to the person wearing the clothing. Besides, there is also the possibility of staining the clothes.
- The present invention provides a new and novel clothes hanger with at least one storage compartment for an aroma configuration that will provide properly measured scented components, without any possibility of damaging the clothes that are hanging on the aroma clothes hanger.
- In accordance with the present invention, the clothing hanger includes a pair of shoulders to support clothing, and is connected to a hook extending upwardly from a hanger neck adapted for hooking over a closet rod or the like. The pair of shoulders extend to opposing distal ends.
- The at least one storage compartment is formed into and is integral with the clothing hanger for containing scented materials, and at least one storage compartment includes a control mechanism to control the amount of scent being exposed. A cartridge housing is formed integral with the storage compartment, and the cartridge housing receives a scented material cartridge that can be filled with various scented materials. Extending horizontally between the distal ends of the pair of shoulders is an arm extending therebetween.
- Other aspects of the clothing hanger may also include arm hooks extending below the pair of shoulders for the purpose of hanging other accessories, such as belts, ties, or other accessories needed to fill out an outfit. Also envisioned by the present inventor is at least one accessory storage compartment for organizing accessories including such things as a cuff link or a ring, or any other accessory such as ear rings, lapel pins or the like.
- In order to control the amount of scent being released, a control mechanism controls the amount of scent being exposed by including an adhesive tape which may be peeled back to expose more or fewer aroma release holes in order to control the intensity of the scent being released. Certain aspects of the control mechanism may also include a cartridge cover including three compartments having respective hinged doors having aroma release holes therein, such that if one wishes to fill each of the compartments with a different scented material, they can select which of the scents he or she wishes to release from individual compartments by either opening or closing its respective hinged door.
- For advertising purposes, a neck plate may be applied to the front and/or rear face of the hanger neck, so that the neck plate is usable for identification, advertising, personalization or identification of the owner of the clothing if engraved and personalized.
- A more complete and full understanding of the aspects and nature of the present invention will become apparent upon considering the following detailed description, when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, wherein:
-
FIG. 1 is an environmental perspective view of an aroma hanger made in accordance with the present invention; -

FIG. 1 shows an aroma hanger in its environment on a closet rod which is disclosed and is generally denoted bynumeral 10.Aroma hanger 10 comprises a pair of shoulders to support clothing and a hook extending upwardly from a hanger neck for hooking over a closet rod or the like. Closet rod or hangingbar 12 supports hook 14 thereon connected tohanger neck 19 having optional accessory storage compartments 16 thereon.Aroma hanger 10 includesshoulders 24 that emanate downwardly fromneck 19 for supporting clothing, and shoulders 24 are shown as having thereon optional shoulder grips 22 to prevent slippage of clothing off the hanger. Extending horizontally between the distal ends ofshoulders 24 is anarm 18, which extends betweenarm holders 20. Optional arm hooks 26 may extend belowarm holders 20 for hanging other accessories, such as belts, ties, or other accessories needed to fill out an outfit. This is the structure generally of the first aspect of the invention and includescartridge housing 32 adapted for receiving a cartridge for containing scented materials.Cartridge housing 32 will be described more fully hereinbelow. -
FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of the aroma hanger ofFIG. 1 includinghook 14,neck 19 andcartridge housing 32. In this aspect of the invention,cartridge 28 has acartridge cover 30 for storing scented components (not shown). Optionalaccessory storage compartment 16 is on top ofneck 19. Again, shoulders 24 emanate radially fromneck 19 and may preferably include a non-slip material forshoulder grip 22.Arm 18 extends betweenarm holders 20 and may include arm hooks 26 for holding ties and/or belts etc. -
FIG. 3 shows a bottom perspective view ofFIG. 2 , using like element numbers, and illustrates howcartridge 28 is directed towards fitting up intocartridge housing 32. -
FIG. 4 also illustrates a perspective of our aroma hanger, again using like element numbers, showingcartridge 28 in proper position insideneck 19. Once installed, the scented materials contained therein will release the odor, as intensely as determined by the owner, and the effects of the chosen scents will be realized. -
FIG. 5 illustrates yet another aspect of the present invention wherein aneck plate 38 may be applied to the front and/or rear face of the neck and may be usable for identification, advertising, personalization or identification of the owner of the clothing if engraved and personalized. Any other uses as advertising for the seller or for a serial number, or for any other suitable purpose are also envisioned. Typically,neck plate 38 will be located and adhered toneck front 17. Consequently, whenhook 14 is hooked onto a closet rod or the like, a purchaser of clothing or a coat from a seller can look at the neck plate and any necessary information may be identified easily for identification or advertising purposes. -
FIG. 6 shows an aroma hanger in accordance with the present invention with asingle compartment cartridge 28 lying next to it on a table. Again,neck plate 38 is shown onneck front 17. In this aspect, anaroma bead pack 40 is preferably used withincartridge 28. The aroma beads are commercially available from candle suppliers, and the aroma beads slowly dissolve in the air and release their scent for weeks and/or months. When cartridge cover 30 is lifted up, the aroma beads inaroma bead pack 40 can be used to fill upcartridge 28. As one can imagine, more than one compartment could be made into the cartridge for holding different scented components for specific purposes, such as bug repellent, cedar chips, or the aroma beads fromaroma bead pack 40. Suitable scented components will be selected by the user depending on what result that user desires. - It is envisioned by the present inventor that one or more compartments can be fillable inside
cartridge 28. For example, depending on the location of the hanger, moths may be a problem when they chew holes into a wool garment, or other identified insects will eat cotton. Or, the owner might like their favorite particular signature scent to be employed in one of the compartments so that not only does the owner put on his favorite cologne or scent, his clothes will smell that way as well. Some swaddling material or sponge-like cotton could be sprayed with the favorite cologne and placed into the cartridge. Furthermore, cedar chips or the like may be placed into the cartridge in order to repel insects that can damage the garment. If the hanger owner is not concerned with bug deterrents, he or she can use scented beads to complement their cologne such that when their clothes are removed from the hanger, their favorite scent could furthermore be soaked into some unscented beads, whereby the personalized scent can waft its way through the fabric to compliment that person's cologne. -
FIG. 7 shows an owner's hand 44 fillingcartridge 28 with scentedbeads 40 aftercartridge cover 30 has been removed. Oncecartridge cover 30 is replaced back ontocartridge 28, the scentedbeads 40 will allow their scent to be released. In the event that a user wishes to provide both bug deterrents as well as scented beads to release their aroma into the clothes hung thereon, a multiple compartment cartridge may be employed. The user may fillcartridge 28 with any type of scented materials that he or she might desire. It may also be possible for liquid scents to be applied to a cotton or other spongy material, and thereafter the scented material placed into the cartridge before installing the cartridge into the neck of the hanger. -
FIG. 8 shows yet another aspect of the present invention including at least oneaccessory storage compartment 16 for organizingaccessories 46 including such things as acuff link 46 or a ring 48, or any other accessory such as ear rings, lapel pins or the like.Compartments 16 can hold any small item that one might want to keep together with a particular outfit so that when the hanger is removed from the closet not only will the clothes come out, but the matching accessories also come out with the clothing to complete an outfit. These types of organizational features are popular for business people to get dressed in order to be able to select an outfit on a hanger, and everything will be right there for getting dressed. -
FIG. 9A illustrates yet another aspect ofcartridge 28 with acartridge cover 30 including three compartments having aroma release holes 54 therein. If one wishes to fill all three compartments with the same scented materials, it will be advantageous to form a sealing hinged door 56 operable by a living hinge 55 formed during the manufacturing process. If, on the other hand, each of the compartments is filled with a different scented material the owner can select which of the scents he or she wishes to release from individual compartments by either opening or closing its respective hinged door 56.Cartridge 28 may also include aroma release holes 54 on the bottom ofcartridge 28. -
FIG. 9B shows yet another aspect of the present invention including an adhesive tape 58 which may be peeled back to expose more or fewer aroma release holes 54 in order to control the intensity of the scent being released. As disclosed above with reference toFIG. 9A , multiple compartments may be considered, thereby necessitating individual aroma release hole tape sections 58, rather than one single piece of tape. -
FIG. 10 illustrates a final aspect of the present invention, whereincartridge 28 may include cartridge hooks 50 undercartridge cover 30. Cartridge hooks 50 are adapted for being received withincartridge hook slots 52 incartridge housing 32. Alternatively,cartridges 28 may also be inserted into a cavity withinshoulder 24 underneath the optional shoulder grips 22. Like-wise, such a cartridge for insertion undershoulders 24 may have multiple scented components compartments. - It is envisioned by the present inventors that any desirable type or configuration of scented materials can be clipped into place within the body of
aroma hanger 10. When thescent material cartridges 28 are clipped into place, the clothing hanging thereon is shielded from any leakage from the scented materials. - Suitable scented materials may be purchased for different purposes, such as desirable perfume-like scented infused beads for favorably scenting the clothing being hung thereon. Depending upon the environment of the user, it may prove to be advantageous to supply scented materials including cedar scented materials to ward off moths, naphthalene for bug deterrent, moisture absorbing materials such as calcium carbonate or the like, or any other material needed to obtain the desired result. Of course, it is also envisioned that custom scented materials may be utilized to match someone's favorite cologne or perfume. For example, a gentleman may like to wear Ralph Lauren's Polo Red cologne, and if he used scented beads that were soaked in an eau de toilette of Polo Red, this would give a light airy scent to the clothing. That means the scent on the person and the scent on the clothing would not clash, but would rather complement each other.
- In addition, odor neutralizers, such as baking soda, sodium bicarbonate, or other odor neutralizers may be included to remove body odors from clothing. Further envisioned is the use of suitable anti-mold agents for clothing storage and basements or other mold prone areas.
- The foregoing description of a preferred aspect of the invention has been presented for purposes of illustration and description.
