Abstract: Athletic footwear often emits unpleasant odors after being used. As a result, athletic footwear is sometimes placed in a separate shoe bag with the purpose of carrying the footwear in isolation. However, current bags for athletic footwear have little to no effect on absorbing or neutralizing unpleasant odors, they merely contain the odor. The presently disclosed technology provides a space effective, odor-combatting athletic shoe bag.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is an article (such as an insect control pouch) to dispense a volatile active (such as an insect control agent). The pouch is formed from a single layer polymeric non-absorbing film. The pouch traps the active until use of the pouch is desired. When the pouch is opened the walls of the pouch serve as a substrate from which the active can readily passively evaporate. Methods of forming such pouches using heat sealing techniques, and methods of using such pouches, are also disclosed.

Abstract: A suit hanger includes a central casing in which an air freshener is housed and two arms attached to opposite sides of the central casing. The central casing defines at least one air inlet opening for drawing air into the air freshener to generate cleaned air. Each arm defines at least one air outlet opening in communication with the air freshener for driving the cleaned air into clothes hung by the suit hanger thereby deodorizing the clothes. A hook is removably attached to the central casing for hanging the suit hanger on a cross bar. The arms are movable with respect to the central casing between a filly expanded position and a collapsed position and at least a partially expanded position therebetween for hanging clothes of different sizes. The arms may also be inserted into shoes for supplying the cleaned into and thus deodorizing the shoes.

Abstract: A closet space saver molded as a single, unitary piece of a plastic material and hangs from a closet rod from a rod hook that is sufficiently wide to stabilize the device and keep it from undue side-to-side rocking. A V-shaped portion with open-sided slots hangs below the rod hook so that the hooks of coat hangers can be inserted into the slots from the side. The wide rod hook has an opening therein formed in a molding operation that makes it possible to mold the closet space saved in a single closing and opening of a the mold but without the use of cams. Attachments made of or containing a fragrant substance can be removably attached to the closet space saver to provide a pleasing fragrance and/or inhibit insects.
