Thehook portion 2 comprises ahook opening 4 in which the edge of thehook opening 4 is configured to hang upon an object such as a rod, hook, knob, etc. The perimeter of thehook portion 2 forms a silhouette of a themed character. The height “H” of thethemed hanger 12 comprises the height of thehook portion 2 and thebody 8. The height of thehook portion 2 is dimensioned so as to not interfere with a possible shelf or object located above the clothing rod but tall enough so as to clearly display the themed character and to create thesize hook opening 4 needed to hang thethemed hanger 12 upon the rod or other object such as a hook, knob, etc. - As shown in
FIGS. 1-49 , the height of thehook portion 2 can be about 4 inches or less in height from anupperside 18 of the body to thetop edge 20 of thehook portion 2. In embodiments, the upperside of thebody 18 comprises an arched or curved edge corresponding to match shoulders of clothing. As illustrated inFIGS. 1-49 , thehook portion 2 is transformed into an outlined image of a theme character. In other words, the perimeter of thehook portion 2 forms a silhouette of the theme character (including themed image/object/scene) such that the edges of the perimeter match the outline of theme character. Substantially the entire perimeter of thehook portion 2, including from the point meeting theupperside 18 of the body throughout the height of thehook portion 2 forms the silhouette of the image. There can be a portion above thehook opening 4 of thehook portion 2 that is an outline of an animal's head, such as the examples shown inFIG. 1 ,FIG. 15 ,FIG. 29 ,FIG. 36 , andFIG. 43 , which are the head of a bunny, dinosaur, giraffe, lion, and unicorn, respectively. Sculpted/three-dimensional forms/shapes can be incorporated into thehook portion 2 to create an overall theme. - The right side and left side of the
hook portion 2 can also extend from the center to form an outline image of the themed character's body. For example, inFIG. 1 , the left side extends out to create the outline image of a bunny's ears and tail.

Thebody 8 for toddler clothes, such as size two toddlers (2T), three toddlers (3T), four toddlers (4T), and five toddlers (5T) can be about 12.5 inches in length. Thebody 8 for girl clothes, such as size extra small, small, and medium can be approximately 12.5 inches in length. Thebody 8 for boy clothes, such as size medium, large, and extra-large can be approximately 15 inches in length. Thebody 8 for women's clothes, such as size extra small and small can be about 15 inches in length, and thebody 8 for medium size clothes can be about 15-17 inches in length. Thebody 8 for women's clothes, such as size large and extra-large can be about 17 inches in length. Thebody 8 for men's clothes, such as size extra small, small, medium, large, extra-large, and extra-extra-large can be about 17 inches in length. The length of thebody 8 is long so as to hang various widths of different size clothing but short so as not to interfere with the user and closet door. - In embodiments of the
themed hanger 12, thebody 8 can comprise a horizontal bar for hanging pants and the like, similar to one found in a typical hanger. For example, the horizontal bar can form the bottom of thebody 8 such as in a typical hanger. In other embodiments, the horizontal bar can attach to thelowerside 20 of thebody 8 and have a “U” shape configuration. In addition, there can be at least one clip that is used to attach objects to the horizontal bar orbody 8. In some embodiments, at least one clip can be located on theupperside 18 of thebody 8. The clip can be made of different materials such as wood, metal, or plastic. The clip can be removable or non-removable from the bar orbody 8. As illustrated inFIGS. 1-49 , thebody 8 is a solid surface. In other embodiments, a substantial portion of the solid surface of thebody 8 is removed leaving an opening and a frame of thebody 8 as seen in typical hangers. - As illustrated in
FIGS. 1-49 , the width (“W”) of thebody 8 ranges approximately from 0.1 inch to about 0.5 inch. However, different ranges of width can be contemplated depending on the type of clothes. The width of thebody 8 allows thethemed hanger 12 to be hung closely together in the closet without using too much space while maintaining the integrity of the clothing. There is also anotch 10 located on the left and right side of the upper portion of thebody 8. - As illustrated in
FIGS. 1-49 , thebody 8 comprises afront surface 14 and aback surface 16 and in somethemed hanger 12, there are themed elements that are displayed on thefront surface 14 and backsurface 16. For example, sculpted/three-dimensional forms/shapes can be incorporated into thefront surface 14 of thebody 8 and theback surface 16 of thebody 8 to create an overall theme. InFIG. 9 andFIG. 10 , legs of the crab are displayed on thefront surface 14 and backsurface 16. InFIG. 16 andFIG. 17 , appendages of the dinosaur are displayed on thefront surface 14 and backsurface 16. InFIG. 23 andFIG. 24 the ear of the elephant is displayed on thefront surface 14 and backsurface 16. InFIG. 44 andFIG. 45 the hooves of the unicorn are displayed on thefront surface 14 and backsurface 16. - The material of the
themed hanger 12 is durable, sturdy and long-lasting. The material can be plastic, recycled plastic, acrylic, wood, and metal. However, other materials can be contemplated. Depending on the material used for thethemed hanger 12, the method of making thethemed hanger 12 changes. For example, when plastic is used, injection molding can be the method for making thethemed hangers 12. For example, when thethemed hanger 12 is made of acrylic, laser cutting can be used to create the themed design on thehanger 12. Acrylic themed hangers can have different colors and is less work post production. When wood is used for thethemed hanger 12, a computer numerical control (CNC) machine cuts the theme on thehanger 12. Sanding and a clear finish may be required post production. When metal is used, metal bending can be used to create the theme on thehanger 12. Metal bending is done with a machine and then a power coat with color is applied. When thethemed hanger 12 is manufactured out of metal, thebody 8 includes a horizontal bar, connecting the ends of thebody 8. - There can be a variety of colors for the
themed hangers 12. The height of thehook opening 4 is tall enough to easily clear the closet rod. The width of thethemed hanger 12 is narrow enough to easily hangthemed hangers 12 side by side to save space but wide enough to not damage the clothes. The height of thehook portion 2 is designed for any overhead shelves and closets. Thehook portion 2 comprises ahook opening 4 for hanging thehanger 12 while also showcasing a theme. The body of the themed hangers can comprise cutout features of the theme. - The
themed hanger 12 can comprise motion technology, which allows a sensor embedded in thethemed hanger 12 to detect motion of the hanger, sound or light in the environment. For example, the sensor can detect personal movement of thethemed hanger 12, i.e., when thehanger 12 is picked up/moved around. The sensor can be located on thefront surface 14, backsurface 16, left side, or right side of thehanger 12; however, the sensor's location is in an area that does not cause thehanger 12 to be unbalanced. Thethemed hanger 12 can also comprise light bulbs or speakers that light or sound respectively. For example, thethemed hanger 12 can emit sound when the sensor detects movement of the hanger in which it is embedded. Example of sounds can be animal noise or a superhero/character catchphrase. The light bulbs and speakers can be located on thefront surface 14, backsurface 16, left side, or right side of thethemed hanger 12 so long as it does not cause thehanger 12 to be unbalanced. - One of the applications that can be added to the
themed hanger 12 is the ability of the user to program a software application so when the user needs to find, for example, khaki pants, the user simply enters the words “khaki pants” into their electronic device and all thethemed hangers 12 designated for hanging khaki pants will light up. Alternatively, the user can say, “khaki pants” and thethemed hangers 12 designated as hanging khaki pants will light up. The communication between the electronic device and thehanger 12 can be based on wireless technology such as Bluetooth. - While particular embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be obvious to those of skills in the art that based upon the teachings herein, changes and modifications may be made without departing from this exemplary embodiment(s) of the present invention and its broader aspects.
