A keeper for orderly storage and/or conveyance of clothing hangers includes an elongate hanger collection and retention chute dependently supported within a chute support recess, which recess is provided in connection with a generally elongate rigid body. The chute comprises an open end to a central slot, running substantially the length of the chute, and whereby the chute receives the corner portion of a number of clothing hangers. The rigid body has a guide directing the corner portion of a hanger through an open throat of the body and into the open end of the collection and retention chute. Protuberances, provided in generally aligned pairs extending from the interior side walls of the chute, jut inward toward the central slot to demark, and serve as stops between, provided adjacent hanger support slots.

Provided is a stacked air permeable hanger. The stacked air permeable hanger includes a hook for hanging and a shoulder support extending from the hook for hanging to be inclined to opposite sides, respectively, to support shoulder parts of a top. A through part having a size that is large enough for a hook for hanging of a hanger of the same kind to be inserted into the through part is formed at a central portion of the shoulder support to pass through the shoulder support upwards and downwards and an accommodation space for receiving at least a portion of the shoulder support of the hanger of the same kind is formed on an inner surface of the shoulder support. A plurality of uplifted parts are formed on an upper surface of the shoulder support.

The present disclosure provides a smart clothes drying device and a smart clothes drying method. The smart clothes drying device includes a light intensity sensor, an integrated controller, an umbrella and at least one clothes hanger. The light intensity sensor is to sense light intensity and output a light intensity signal. The integrated controller is to receive the light intensity signal and control opening or closing of the umbrella according to a comparison result of comparing the light intensity signal with a closing light intensity threshold or an opening light intensity threshold in such a manner that the integrated controller controls opening the umbrella when the light intensity signal is greater than the opening light intensity threshold, and the integrated controller controls closing the umbrella when the light intensity signal is less than the closing light intensity threshold.

A carrier apparatus for supporting a garment includes a hanger having first and second arm elements that project radially outwardly from a central hanging axis and which are connected by a hinged coupling which allows the first and second arm elements to be folded around said central axis or axes parallel to said central hanging axis to thereby substantially overlie one another.

A clothes hanger organization assembly for PURPOSE includes a sleeve that may be positioned around a closet pole. The sleeve has a plurality of slots therein and each of the slots engages a hook on a clothes hanger. The slots are spaced apart from each other and are distributed along the sleeve. In this way the slots organize the clothes hangers.

Aspects of the present disclosure involve an apparatus, systems, and methods for providing a status of an item based on sensor data. The method may include determining a status of an item based on a comparison of sensor data and a baseline sensor measurement of the item. The method may further include providing an electronic notification based on the status of the item.

A garment hanger and a sizer that can be removably mounted to the hanger are provided. The sizer includes a pair of inwardly extending fingers for mounting the sizer to a hook or a body of the hanger. The sizer can be manually or automatically removed from the sizer by a tool, by inserting the tool into a space between the hanger and a respective inwardly extending finger. The hanger and the sizer enable a method of reusing hangers and sizers, by automatically removing the sizers from the hangers, processing the removed hangers and sizers to provide reusable hangers and sizers. The reusable hangers and sizers are distributed to remote garment manufacturers for providing garment-on-hanger products.
