A hanger device according to the present disclosure may include a body having at least one opening to allow air to be pulled into the body and at least one discharge port to allow pulled air to be pushed out of the body. The body is configured to move away or toward a wall surface. A fan module is provided inside the body, and a filtering module disposed over the fan module. A hanging unit extends from a bottom surface of the body.

A hanger device according to the present disclosure may include a body having at least one opening to allow air to be pulled into the body and at least one discharge port to allow pulled air to be pushed out of the body. A fan module is provided inside the body, and a filtering module is disposed over the fan module. At least one air passage is formed between an outlet of the fan module and the discharge port. A hanging unit includes a hanging bar extending horizontally in the width direction of the body and is provided under the discharge port, and a pair of supports extends from a lower surface of the main body to support both ends of the hanging bar. A camera disposed under the body to face toward the hanging unit to photograph a hanger region including the hanging unit.

A hanger device according to the present disclosure may comprise a body having at least one opening to allow air to be suctioned into the body and at least one discharge port to allow suctioned air to be forced out of the body. A fan module may be provided inside the body. A filter may be configured to remove foreign substances contained in the suctioned air. A hanging unit extends from the bottom surface of the main body. At least one wind guard may be provided in front of the hanging unit, and configured to move in a vertical direction, and a driving unit may slide the wind guard in a vertical direction.

A hanger device according to the present disclosure may comprise a body having at least opening to allow air to be suctioned into the body and at least one discharge port to allow suctioned air to be forced out of the body. A fan module may be provided inside the body and may be configured to suction air through the opening and force the suction air to the at least one discharge port. A dust removal filter is configured to remove dust contained in the air suctioned in by the fan module. A dehumidifying filter may absorb moisture contained in the air that has passed through the dust removing filter. A heater may be configured to heat the air that has passed through the dehumidifying filter. A hanging unit is configured to extend from the bottom surface of the body and configured to allow passage of a portion of suctioned air being forced out of the body.

In selected examples, a garment includes an article of clothing, a processor, memory storing instructions, biometric and/or environmental sensors configurable and readable by the processor, and a short range radio frequency (RF) transceiver (e.g., a Bluetooth® transceiver). When the processor executes the instructions, it may configure the garment to establish an RF link with a communication device, enabling the processor to receive from the communication device sensor configuration information, and configure the sensors accordingly. The processor may also collect sensor data, and transmit the data over the RF link from the garment to the communication device. The communication device may be a mobile device, e.g., a smartphone/tablet. The garment may be a “master” coupled through wired/wireless links to “slave” garments, and allow the communication device to communicate with the slaves. The communication device may connect the master/slaves to various networks and other computing devices.

A clothing hanger includes a base member, a rotatable hook connectable to the base member, first and second arm members connectable to the base member, first and second support members connectable to the first and second arm members, and first and second support cover members connectable to the first and second support members.

In selected examples, a hanger or a garment-storing enclosure couples to an electrically-powered garment, to provide electrical energy for recharging the garment's battery and operating the garment's electronics. The electrical energy may be transferred using low frequency inductive coupling or electromagnetic coupling in the radio frequency range of the spectrum. The hanger/enclosure may include a data interface to the garment, and another data interface to a Wide Area Network (WAN) or another network. Each of the data interfaces may be, e.g., a wireless RF data interface. The garment may include biometric, environmental, and other sensors for collecting data. Through the data interfaces, the hanger/enclosure may enable data flow between the garment and remote devices connected to the WAN. The garment-storing enclosure may be a portable enclosure, such as a garment travel bag. It may also be a relatively-fixed enclosure, such as a closet in an office or a dwelling.

In selected examples, a hanger couples to an electrically-powered garment, to provide electrical energy to the garment to recharge the battery of the garment. The electrical energy may be transferred from the hanger to the garment using inductive coupling. The electrical energy may also or instead be transferred using contact coupling facilitated by magnet(s) in the interfaces of the hanger system and the garment. The garment may include biometric, environmental, and other sensors to collect data. The hanger system-garment interfaces may provide for data flow between the hanger and the garment. In selected examples, a smart garment may be controlled by a smartphone or another mobile device. The smartphone may control several smart garments, which may be connected in series and/or in parallel, with one of the smart garments being a master connected to the smartphone, and the other garments being slave garments connected to the smartphone through the master.

A garment hanger has a body for supporting a garment and an attachment mechanism for coupling the garment hanger to a garment rod. The attachment mechanism is mounted on a top central portion of the body and has a first semi-circular ring member, a second semi-circular ring member, a bracket, and a spring means. Each semi-circular ring member has a first end and a central aperture in proximity to a second end. The bracket has a central horizontal portion and two vertical portions on opposite sides of the central horizontal portion. The first and second semi-circular ring members are mounted in a mirrored direction between the two vertical portions by a shaft passing through a central aperture in each of the two semi-circular ring members. The spring means is coupled to force the first ends of the two semi-circular ring members towards each other.
