US Patent 7621430 Garment refreshing hanger

Garment refreshing hangers incorporate activated charcoal, a proven odor absorbing material, into the body of the hanger. Garments such as a jacket are hung on the hanger in the traditional manner. The garment areas susceptible to odor producing body areas like the neck and armpits are placed in close proximity to the activated charcoal in the hanger. The activated charcoal absorbs the odors thus removing them from the garment. Provision is made for charcoal replacement upon consumption. Preferably, the charcoal includes activated carbon impregnated porous sheet material.
