FIGS. 28 and 29 , the portion of the holdingdevice 102 or piece of a material 128 attachment piece having aslot 116 has afirst side 118 and asecond side 120. Eachslot 116 is a cut in a portion of the holdingdevice 102 or piece of a material 128 through which afragrance piece 104 may be inserted from thefirst side 118 through theslot 116 to thesecond side 120, or vice versa from thesecond side 120 through theslot 116 to thefirst side 118. When attached with the holdingdevice 102 by at least oneslot 116, a portion of thefragrance piece 104 will be on thefirst side 118 and a portion of thefragrance piece 104 will be on thesecond side 120. The at least oneslot 116 can be located anywhere on theholding device 102, including but not limited to, in the top, sides, or bottom of the holdingdevice 102. The at least onefragrance piece 104 will be attachable with the at least oneslot 116 within at least the required attachment parameters. Preferably, the interaction of the at least onefragrance piece 104 and the at least oneslot 116 will be within the preferred attachment parameters, and more preferably at least within the more preferred attachment parameters. It is to be understood, however, that the type of materials and/or combination of materials, and/or the number ofslots 116 that will accomplish the preferred attachment parameters and/or the more preferred attachment parameters between thefragrance piece 104 and the at least oneslot 116 can vary. In addition, in some embodiments, the interaction of the at least onefragrance piece 104 and the at least oneslot 116 will be within the removal attachment parameters, the removal and fit attachment parameters and/or the preferred removal and fit attachment parameters. -
Slots 116 can vary in width and length, size, number, and placement in theholding device 102. When more than oneslot 116 is included, they are generally aligned to enable a generally straight fragrance piece to be attached with and removed from the holdingdevice 102 by weaving thefragrance piece 104 in and out of theslots 116.FIGS. 28 and 29 illustrate an exemplary embodiment wherein theattacher 106 includes more than oneslot 116, and theslots 116 are aligned generally in a line, so that the generallystraight fragrance piece 104 may easily be woven from oneslot 116 to the next. - Referring now to exemplary
FIGS. 28 and 31 -34 a, in some embodiments, the relationship of the size of thefragrance piece 104 and the length the at least oneslot 116 is calculated by drawing animaginary circle 122 around the outside general circumference of a fragrance piece and measuring the diameter “a-a” of the imaginary circle 122 (called “calculated diameter 124”). As exemplarily illustrated inFIGS. 34 and 34A , if the width of thefragrance piece 104 is not consistent, thecalculated diameter 124 may be calculated from the widest part of thefragrance piece 104 that can engage theattacher 106 when thefragrance piece 104 is attached with the holdingdevice 102. In these embodiments, thecalculated diameter 124 is equal to or less than one half of the length “b-b” 126 of theslot 116 and equal to or greater than one fourth of the length “b-b” 126 of theslot 116. By way of example, and not intending to be limiting, if the length of the of aslot 116 is 1 inch, thecalculated diameter 124 of thefragrance piece 104 will be equal to or less than ½ inch and equal to or greater than ¼ inch. - Other embodiments of the scented
holding device system 100, attacher systems, 100 a, including attachment piece systems, attachment piece part systems, and/or devices are exemplarily illustrated in FIGS. including but not limited toFIGS. 11-13 , 15, 16, 23-25, 35-58, 87, 88, 92, 93-95 and 100, wherein theattachment piece 112 includes at least oneprong 134. The at least oneprong 134 may be directly fixedly or removably attached or attachable with the holdingdevice 102 by ways currently known in the art or to be discovered, including but not limited to, tacking, stapling, bonding, taping, heat sealing, welding, molding, magnetic attraction, weaving, sewing, hook and loop material, such as but not limited to Velcro®, and/or mechanical interaction, such as but not limited to tongue and groove interaction, or may be directly fixedly or removably attached or attachable with acompatible attachment piece 112 orattachment piece part 114 by ways currently known or to be discovered in the art, including but not limited to tacking, stapling, bonding, taping, heat sealing, welding, molding, magnetic attraction, weaving, sewing, hook and loop material, such as but not limited to Velcro®, and/or mechanical interaction, such as but not limited to tongue and groove interaction. The at least oneprong 134 can be integrally integrated with and/or attached or attachable with the holdingdevice 102, as exemplarily illustrated inFIG. 92 , or to anattachment piece 112 orattachment piece part 114, as exemplarily illustrated inFIG. 35 in a manner whereby eachprong 134 is an integral part of the holdingdevice 102 orattachment piece 112 orattachment piece part 114 by ways currently know in the art, such as, but not limited to by molding, weaving, and ways to be discovered in the art. Theattachment piece part 114 can be a piece of amaterial 128, which is described in more detail in subsequent paragraphs and FIGS. If the at least oneprong 134 is attached with at least oneattachment piece 112 orattachment piece part 114, the at least oneattachment piece 112 or at least one of theattachment piece parts 114 is integrally integrated with, and/or fixedly or removably attached or attachable with the holdingdevice 102. When the at least oneprong 134 is attached with the holdingdevice 102 either directly or with the assistance of at least oneattachment piece 112 orattachment piece part 114, thefragrance piece 104 will be removably attachable with the at least oneprong 134 within the preferred attachment parameters and/or the more preferred attachment parameters, and in some embodiments also within the removal and fit attachment parameters and/or the preferred removal and fit parameters. - Reference is now made to
FIGS. 36-38 . It is to be noted that eachprong 134 will have a holdingdevice end 136, which is the end of theprong 134 that is closest to theholding device 102 when theprong 134 is attached with the holdingdevice 102, and agap end 138, which is the free end of theprong 134. Eachprong 134 will define a gap “c-c”, referred to as the “prong gap 140”, which is the area between thegap end 138 of theprong 134 and theinner surface 142 of the prong that is closest to theholding device 102, the holdingdevice 102, or thecorresponding attachment piece 112 orattachment piece part 114. - Referring now to FIGS. including but not limited to exemplary
FIGS. 23 a-e, 24 a-d, and 38-40, eachprong 134 has aninner surface 142, which is the surface that is facing thefragrance piece 104 when thefragrance piece 104 is attached. Theinner surface 142 of the at least oneprong 134 can be a variety of lengths, widths and shapes as long as the preferred attachment parameters and/or the more preferred attachment parameters are satisfied, and in some embodiments also as long as the removal and fit attachment parameters and/or the preferred removal and fit parameters are satisfied, when the at least onefragrance piece 104 is attached and theprong 134 is attached with the holdingdevice 102 either integrally, directly or with the assistance of at least oneother attachment piece 112 orattachment piece part 114. The use of some materials, which include, but are not limited to, micro fiber and sponge, on theinner surface 142 of aprong 134 can enhance the interaction of thefragrance piece 104 and theinner surface 142 of theprong 134, and thereby in some embodiments enhance the accomplishment of the preferred attachment parameters and/or more preferred attachment parameters. - Referring now to FIGS. including but not limited to exemplary
FIGS. 11-13 , 24 a-d, 38, 39 and 41-45, when the at least oneprong 134 is viewed from the side, the inner surface or surfaces of the at least oneprong 134 define a shape, that will be referred to as the “inner surface shape” 144. Theinner surface shape 144 defines a space, referred to as the “fragrance piece space” 146 into which thefragrance piece 104 may be inserted. It is to be noted that when theinner surface shape 144 is defined by at least twoprongs 134 withinner surfaces 142 facing each other, theprongs 134 can be either directly across from each other, such as those exemplarily illustrated inFIGS. 41-45 , or they can be off-set from each other, such as those exemplarily illustrated inFIGS. 11-13 , 38, and 39. If they are off-set from each other theinner surface shape 144 will be made up of all of theprongs 134 with which the at least onefragrance piece 104 interacts when the at least onefragrance piece 104 is attached, as exemplarily illustrated inFIGS. 11-13 . - Depending on the size, shape, location and number of
prongs 134 and the at least onefragrance piece 104, the at least onefragrance piece 104 may be inserted into thefragrance piece space 146 in a number of ways. - Depending on the shape and size of the
fragrance piece 104 and depending on the size, and shape of theprong gap 140, the at least onefragrance piece 104 can be inserted in the at least oneprong 134 by inserting thefragrance piece 104 directly intofragrance piece space 146 through theprong gap 140. In order to be able to insert the at least onefragrance piece 104 into thefragrance piece space 146 directly through theprong gap 140, theprong gap 140 must be directly accessible. - As exemplarily illustrated in
FIGS. 37 and 46 , when theinner surface shape 144 is created by at least twoprongs 134 withinner surfaces 142 facing each other and none of theprong gaps 140 fully overlap each other, a gap “d-d” into thefragrance piece space 146 is provided, which is referred to as an “accessible prong gap 148.” As exemplarily illustrated inFIGS. 23 a-b and 36, when oneprong 134 is provided or when all of theprongs 134 are on same side of thefragrance piece 104 when it is attached, thefragrance piece space 146 may be directly accessible through theprong gap 140, and this prong gap “c-c” 140 is also referred to as an accessible prong gap “d-d” 148. - When the inner surface shape is created by at least two
prongs 134 with inner surfaces facing each other, all, some or none of theprong gaps 140 may overlap anopposing prong 134. As exemplarily illustrated inFIGS. 24 b-d if theprong gaps 140 on opposing sides of the fragrance piece space do not overlap, and anaccessible prong gap 148 is provided, thefragrance piece 104 may be inserted directly into thefragrance piece space 146 through theaccessible prong gap 148 if theaccessible prong gap 148 is sufficiently wide for thefragrance piece 104 and/or if theprongs 134 are sufficiently flexible to increase theaccessible prong gap 148 to enable thefragrance piece 104 to be inserted. In addition, in some embodiments, even if theprong gaps 140 on opposing sides of thefragrance piece 104 space do overlap, if theprongs 134 are sufficiently flexible to create anaccessible prong gap 148 through which thefragrance piece 104 may be inserted, thefragrance piece 104 can be directly inserted into thefragrance piece space 146 through the createdaccessible prong gap 148. - Referring now to
FIG. 40 , in some embodiments, the at least onefragrance piece 104 can be attached with the at least oneprong 134 by sliding thefragrance piece 104 generally lengthwise into the openfragrance piece space 146 of the at least oneprong 134. In addition, in some embodiments, if more than oneprong 134 is provided on opposite sides from one another, the at least onefragrance piece 104 also can be inserted in theprongs 134 by moving thefragrance piece 104 in and out (not shown) of theprongs 134. - As exemplarily illustrated in
FIGS. 24 a and 24 d, in some embodiments theinner surface shape 144 of the at least oneprong 134 and theouter surface 110 of thefragrance piece 104 will be made in complimentary shapes. By way of example, and without intending to be exhaustive, the following are examples ofcomplimentary prongs 134 and fragrance pieces 104: circular concaveinner surface shape 144 withcylindrical fragrance pieces 104, elongated concaveinner surface shape 144 withoval fragrance pieces 104, strait diagonal triangularinner surface shape 144 withtriangular fragrance pieces 104, straight right-angledinner surface shape 144 with square orrectangular fragrance pieces 104, star-shapedinner surface shape 144 with star-shapedfragrance pieces 104, and a heart shapedinner surface shape 144 for heart shapedfragrance pieces 104. - However, as illustrated in an exemplary and non-exhaustive manner in
FIG. 24 b, it is to be noted that theinner surface shape 144 of the at least oneprong 134 and the outer surface of thefragrance piece 104 are not required to be made in complimentary shapes as long as the preferred attachment parameters and/or the more preferred attachment parameters are satisfied, and in some embodiments also as long as the removal and fit attachment parameters and/or the preferred removal and fit parameters are satisfied, when thefragrance piece 104 is attached when theprong 134 is attached with the holdingdevice 102 either directly or with the assistance of at least oneother attachment piece 112 orattachment piece part 114. By way of example, and without intending to be exhaustive,curved fragrance pieces 104 can be used withprongs 134 having straightinner surfaces 142 or inner surface shapes 144 including straight lines connected at 90 degrees from one another, andfragrance pieces 104 with straight sides can be used withprongs 134 having curvedinner surfaces 142. In addition, the inner surface shape of the at least oneprong 134 and/or the outer surface of the at least onefragrance piece 104 can be irregularly shaped. - The
prongs 134 may be of varying sizes, shapes, locations and configurations on theholding device 102 as long as the preferred attachment parameters and/or the more preferred attachment parameters may be obtained, and in some embodiments also as long as the removal and fit attachment parameters and/or the preferred removal and fit parameters may be obtained, with at least onefragrance piece 104.FIGS. 23 a-e illustrate examples of varyingprong 134 sizes, shapes, locations and configurations, however, it is to be understood that these examples are not intended to be exhaustive or limiting. Without intending to be limiting,FIG. 52 illustrates a number ofprongs 134 that may be aligned with one another on aholding device 102,attachment piece 112 orattachment piece part 114. WhileFIG. 52 illustrates between one and tenprongs 134 being aligned, it is to be understood that more than tenprongs 134 can also be aligned for holdingdevices 102 that are sufficiently large to accommodate them. - Referring now to FIGS. including but not limited to
FIGS. 42-51 , theaccessible prong gap 148 of at least oneprong 134 can be located at a variety of places around the at least oneprong 134. As a result, when at least oneprong 134 is attached with the holdingdevice 102, it may be attached such that theaccessible prong gap 148 is located in directions including but not limited to toward the top, bottom, middle, forward, backward, various sides, or diagonally. The placement of theaccessible prong gap 148 of the at least oneprong 134 in relation to theholding device 102 can enhance the ease of the attachment and removal of thefragrance piece 104 with and from the at least oneprong 134 when it is attached with the holdingdevice 102. By way of example, and without intending to be limiting, an upward facingaccessible prong gap 148 could be beneficial for aholding device 102 that is often on the floor, such as an under-the-bed storage box, a downward facingaccessible prong gap 148 could be beneficial for a use that is overhead, such as an overhead cabinet, a forward facingaccessible prong gap 148 could be beneficial to a front-opening holding device 102, such as a kitchen cabinet, and a rear facingprong gap 148 could be beneficial to a rear-openingholding device 102 such as an entertainment cabinet. - It is to be understood that the
prongs 134 can be attached with the holdingdevice 102 in a manner whereby theaccessible prong gap 148 faces a particular direction, such as but not limited to, forward, backward, up, down, or diagonal. In addition, if theprongs 134 are on anattachment piece 112 orattachment piece part 114 in a manner whereby theaccessible prong gap 148 is at an angle, such as exemplarily illustrated inFIGS. 43 and 44 , rather than oriented toward the middle, such as exemplarily illustrated inFIG. 42 , it would be possible to attach thesame attachment piece 112 orattachment piece part 114 in a variety of different ways on at least oneholding device 102 such that the direction of theaccessible prong gap 148 can be facing in different directions, such as but not limited to forward, exemplarily illustrated inFIG. 47 , backward exemplarily illustrated inFIG. 48 , up, exemplarily illustrated inFIG. 49 , down, exemplarily illustrated inFIG. 50 or diagonal, exemplarily illustrated inFIG. 51 . - Referring now to FIGS. including but not limited to exemplary
FIGS. 11-13 , 23 c, 39, and 40, in some embodiments, threeprongs 134 can be used to hold afragrance piece 104. In these embodiments, the threeprongs 134 can be arranged with twoprongs 134 on one side of thefragrance piece space 146 and one in the middle of the other two, located on the other side of thefragrance piece space 146. In these embodiments, threeprongs 134 are preferable to more than threeprongs 134 because it in some embodiments it can be easier to slide thefragrance piece 104 in and out of threeprongs 134 than more than threeprongs 134, while at the same time, the use of threeprongs 134 and the arrangement of theprongs 134 on both sides of the fragrance piece space can easily satisfy the preferred attachment parameters and/or more preferred attachment parameters with appropriately shaped andsized fragrance pieces 104. - Referring now to exemplary
FIG. 24 b, in some embodiments to enable the attachment of thefragrance piece 104 within at least the preferred attachment parameters and/or the more preferred attachment parameters for afragrance piece 104 having a circular outer shape, at least two generally opposing sides of theouter surface 110 of thefragrance piece 104 will make contact with theinner surface 142 of the at least oneprong 134. - As exemplarily illustrated in
FIG. 53 , afragrance piece 104 having a crescent outer shape will have twoend points 154. In some embodiments to enable the attachment of thefragrance piece 104 within at least the preferred attachment parameters and/or the more preferred attachment parameters the twoend points 154 on the crescent will be able to touch theinner surface 142 of the at least oneprong 134 when thefragrance piece 104 is attached with the at least oneprong 134. - As exemplarily illustrated in
FIG. 54 for some embodiments to enable the attachment of thefragrance piece 104 within at least the preferred attachment parameters and/or the more preferred attachment parameters of afragrance piece 104 having a quadrilateral or rectangular outer shape, all four corners will be able to touch the inner surface of the at least oneprong 134 having a circular inner space shape when thefragrance piece 104 is attached with the at least oneprong 134. - Referring now to exemplary
FIGS. 31 , 32 a-b, 34, 34 a, and 55-58 for some embodiments offragrance pieces 104 having outer shapes in the forms of squares, five-sided stars, pentagons, six-sided stars, and hexagon, the interaction of at least oneprong 134 having a generally circular or generally semi-circular inner surface shape and thefragrance piece 104 may be calculated by calculating animaginary circle 122 drawn around outer surface of thefragrance piece 104, as exemplarily illustrated inFIG. 31 . As illustrated inFIGS. 32 a and 32 b, the circumference of theimaginary circle 122 is then calculated, which is referred to at the “calculated circumference” 150. It is to be noted that in the illustrations illustrating the measurement of the circumference of theimaginary circle 122, the “calculated circumference” 150 is not illustrated as exactly the size of theimaginary circle 122, which is done for clarity of illustration only; it is intended that thecalculated circumference 150 is the exact size of theimaginary circle 122. As exemplarily illustrated inFIGS. 34 and 34 a, if the outer surface of thefragrance piece 104 is not uniform, the measurement may be taken at the widest point on thefragrance piece 104 that can engage theattacher 106 when thefragrance piece 104 is attached with the holdingdevice 102. - As exemplarily illustrated in
FIG. 55 for some embodiments to enable the attachment of thefragrance piece 104 within at least the preferred attachment parameters and/or the more preferred attachment parameters of afragrance piece 104 having a square outer shape, the length of theaccessible prong gap 148 will be less than 25 percent of the length of thecalculated circumference 150, and all four corners of thefragrance piece 104 will be able to touch the inner surface of the at least oneprong 134 when thefragrance piece 104 is attached with the at least oneprong 134. - As exemplarily illustrated in
FIG. 56 for some embodiments to enable the attachment of thefragrance piece 104 within at least the preferred attachment parameters and/or the more preferred attachment parameters of afragrance piece 104 having a five-sided star outer shape, the length of theaccessible prong gap 148 will be less than 20 percent of the length of thecalculated circumference 150 and all five points of the star-shapedfragrance piece 104 will be able to touch the inner surface of the at least oneprong 134 when thefragrance piece 104 is attached with the at least oneprong 134. - As exemplarily illustrated in
FIG. 57 for some embodiments to enable the attachment of thefragrance piece 104 within at least the preferred attachment parameters and/or the more preferred attachment parameters of afragrance piece 104 having a six-sided star outer shape, the length of theaccessible prong gap 148 will be less than one third of the length of thecalculated circumference 150 and all six points of the star-shapedfragrance piece 104 will be able to touch the inner surface of the at least oneprong 134 when thefragrance piece 104 is attached with the at least oneprong 134. - As exemplarily illustrated in

FIGS. 15 , 17, 19-21, 26, 59-70, wherein the attachment piece includes at least oneloop 152. The at least oneloop 152 can be made of many materials, including, but not limited to plastic, metal, wood, fabric, fiberglass, vinyl, polyester, nylon, rubber, natural fibers such as cotton, and/or other fibers. The at least oneloop 152 can be made of materials having a memory, referred to as “memory materials”, including but not limited to elastic, rubber and memory metal. The at least oneloop 152 may vary in size, number, and placement. - The at least one
loop 152 may be directly fixedly or removably attached or attachable with the holdingdevice 102 by ways currently known in the art or to be discovered, including but not limited to, tacking, stapling, adhesive, taping, heat sealing, molding, magnetic attraction, bonding, welding, weaving, sewing, hook and loop material, such as but not limited to Velcro®, and/or mechanical interaction, such as but not limited to tongue and groove interaction, or may be directly fixedly or removably attached or attachable with acompatible attachment piece 112 orattachment piece part 114 by ways currently known or to be discovered in the art, including but not limited to tacking, stapling, adhesive, taping, heat sealing, molding, magnetic attraction, bonding, welding, weaving, sewing, hook and loop material, such as but not limited to Velcro®, and/or mechanical interaction, such as but not limited to tongue and groove interaction. As exemplarily illustrated inFIG. 59 , the at least oneloop 152 can be integrally integrated and/or attached or attachable with the holdingdevice 102 or to an attachment piece part in a manner whereby eachloop 152 is an integral part of the holdingdevice 102,attachment piece 112, orattachment piece part 114 by ways currently know in the art, such as, but not limited to by molding, weaving, and ways to be discovered in the art. Theattachment piece part 114 can be a piece of amaterial 128, which is described in more detail in subsequent paragraphs and FIGS. If the at least oneloop 152 is integral, attachable or attached with at least oneattachment piece 112 orattachment piece part 114, the at least oneattachment piece 112 orattachment piece part 114 is integrally integrated and/or fixedly or removably attached or attachable with the holdingdevice 102 either directly or with the assistance of at least oneattachment piece part 114. When the at least oneloop 152 is attached with the holdingdevice 102 either directly or with the assistance of at least oneattachment piece 112 orattachment piece part 114, thefragrance piece 104 will be removably attachable with the at least oneloop 152 at least within the required attachment parameters. Preferably, when the at least oneloop 152 is attached with the holdingdevice 102, either directly or with the assistance of at least oneattachment piece 112 orattachment piece part 114, thefragrance piece 104 will be removably attachable with the at least oneloop 152 within the preferred attachment parameters and/or the more preferred attachment parameters. In addition, in some embodiments, when the at least oneloop 152 is attached with the holdingdevice 102, either directly or with the assistance of at least oneattachment piece 112 orattachment piece part 114, thefragrance piece 104 will be removably attachable with the at least oneloop 152 within the removal attachment parameters, the removal and fit attachment parameters and/or the preferred removal and fit attachment parameters. - Each
fragrance piece 102 can be attachable with aloop 152 that is in the form of a continuous loop, as exemplarily illustrated inFIGS. 26 , and 59-63, or in one or more pieces having at least twoloose ends 156 whereby at least two opposingloose ends 156 will be connectable with one another, as exemplarily illustrated inFIGS. 15 , and 64-70. Generally, there will be two opposingloose ends 156 that are connectable with each other, however, if one or both of theloose ends 156 are frayed, more than twoloose ends 156 can be created. Theloose ends 156 can be connectable with each other byconnectors 158 including, but not limited to, complimentary pieces of hook andloop material 178, including Velcro®, at least one button and complimentary button hole or loop, snaps, at least one complimentary hook and eye, and at least one hook and complimentary hook catch. Some of theloose end connectors 158 can provide for more than one connection point, and thereby enabling the size of theloop 152 to vary. Thereby, in some embodiments, when theloose end connectors 158 provide for more than one connection point, the connection between the loose ends may be adjusted to enable the at least onefragrance piece 104 to be attachable within the preferred attachment parameters and/or the more preferred attachment parameters, and in some embodiments within the removal attachment parameters, removal and fit attachment parameters and/or preferred removal and fit attachment parameters. - A variable number of
loops 152 can be integral with and/or attached or attachable with the holdingdevice 102 either directly or with the assistance of anattachment piece 112 or one or moreattachment piece parts 114. In addition, if the at least oneloop 152 is removably attachable, such as those exemplarily illustrated inFIGS. 15 , 26, and 70, the number and size of theloops 152 can vary, which can be beneficial for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, varying the number offragrance pieces 104 to be attached and/or varying the at least onefragrance piece 104 size. - Referring now to FIGS. including but not limited to exemplary
FIGS. 26 and 70 , in some embodiments, the holdingdevice 102 orattachment piece part 114 can be made of hook orloop material 178. At least part of the outer surface of the at least oneloop 152 can be made of the complimentary hook orloop material 178, thereby enabling theloop 152 to be removably attachable anywhere on the complimentary hook orloop material 178 on theholding device 102 or theattachment piece part 114. In addition, the number ofloops 152 attached or attachable with the holdingdevice 102 orattachment piece part 114 can vary. As exemplarily illustrated inFIG. 70 , aloop 152 can be made from two-sided hook andloop material 178, where one side of the hook andloop material 178 is made of the loop material 178 b and the other side is made of thehook material 178 a. When two-sided hook andloop material 178 is used to make aloop 152, the loop can be made with either the hook or loop side of the material facing outward, and as a result, the loop may be attachable with a holdingdevice 102 orattachment piece part 114 of which at least a portion is eitherhook material 178 a or loop material 178 b. - As exemplarily illustrated in FIGS. including but not limited to exemplary

FIGS. 31 , 32, 34, 34 a, 53, and 71-75, in some embodiments, the relationship of the size of thefragrance piece 104 and the size or the at least one loop is calculated by determining thecalculated circumference 150 of the outer surface of thefragrance piece 104. As illustrated inFIGS. 32 a and 32 b, and 71-75 is to be noted that in the illustrations illustrating the measurement of the circumference of theimaginary circle 122, the “calculated circumference” 150 is not illustrated as exactly the size of theimaginary circle 122, which is done for clarity of illustration only; it is intended that thecalculated circumference 150 is the exact size of theimaginary circle 122. - When the outer shape of the
fragrance piece 104 is circular, the calculated circumference is actually the actual circumference of thefragrance piece 104. Since the calculated circumference is calculated by drawing an imaginary circle around the fragrance piece, in the case of a circular fragrance piece, the imaginary circle and the actual circumference will be the same. Accordingly, the term “calculated circumference” 150 as used herein is intended to include the actual circumference of a circular fragrance piece. In addition, for a circular fragrance piece, the actual circumference, and therefore also the calculated circumference, may be directly measured or it may be measured by ways commonly known in the art, such as, but not limited to, by determining the diameter of the fragrance piece and utilizing the standard Pi calculation of diameter multiplied by about 3.14 equaling the circumference, as exemplarily shown as follows: if the diameter of a circular fragrance piece is 0.2 inches, then the actual circumference, and therefore also the calculated circumference, of the fragrance piece is about 0.63 inches. - In some embodiments, the range of interactions between circumferences of a
loop 152 andcalculated circumferences 150 of afragrance piece 104 is in the range of the circumference of the loop being between at least as large as thecalculated circumference 150 of afragrance piece 104 and up to two times the size of thecalculated circumference 150 of thefragrance piece 104. The term “circumference” of a loop is intended to mean the interior circumference of the loop and not the exterior circumference of the loop. - In some embodiments, by way of example and without intending to be limiting, when the calculated circumference of the
fragrance piece 104 is 0.63 inches, the circumference of theloop 152 would be in the range of no less than 0.63 inches and no more than 0.64 inches. As the calculated circumference of thefragrance piece 104 increases or decreases, the range of circumferences of theloop 152 will increase or decrease proportionately. This embodiment can apply toloops 152 of all materials, including hook andloop materials 178. This range ofcompatible loop 152 sizes in relation tofragrance piece 104 calculated circumferences may also be used for memory materials, provided that the tension in the stretchiness of the memory material is such that a snug fit may be obtained. - Other embodiments of the scented

In addition, as described in previous paragraphs relating toloops 152, the size number and location of the at least oneloop 152 on the piece of a material 128 can vary. - When two-sided hook and loop material is not provided for a
supplemental piece 182 having at least one pair ofarms 186, as exemplarily illustrated inFIG. 90 , theattachment side 190 of themain piece 184 and at least one of thearms 186 can be made of the hook or loop material that compliments the piece of amaterial 128. Thenon-attachment side 192 of the other at least one complimentary loop arm can be made of the type of hook and loop material that compliments the type of hook and loop material that is on theattachment side 190 of themain piece 184. When the supplemental piece is attached to the hook orloop material 178 of the piece of amaterial 128, the pair of arms can be folded back and attached, as exemplarily illustrated inFIG. 91 to each other by attaching thehook material 178 a of one arm to the loop material 178 b of the other arm. - In a manner similar to that previously described in relation to a piece of a material 128 that is made of hook and
loop material 178, at least onesupplemental piece 182 can be attached or attachable with a holdingdevice 102, or portion thereof,attachment piece 112, and/orattachment piece part 114 that is at least partially made of hook andloop material 178 of a sufficient size such that thesupplement piece 182 can be attached to it. - Reference is now made to exemplary FIGS. including but not limited to,
FIGS. 11-13 , and 92-100, which illustrate embodiments of ahanger 188 that may be to be used for hanging a variety ofgarments 200 and/oraccessories 202. Preferably, thehanger 188 will be able to be used for hanging a variety of light weight and/or heavy weight garments and/or accessories. - Reference is now made to exemplary
FIGS. 11-13 , 92-95, 97, and 100, which illustrate at least oneprong 134 molded onto thebottom bar 194 of thehanger 188. When the at least one prong is molded onto thebottom bar 194 of thehanger 188, the at least one fragrance piece is removably attachable with the hanger within the removal and fit parameters and/or the preferred removal and fit parameters. Alternatively and/or in addition to being molded on thebottom bar 194, the at least oneprong 134 can be attached with the hanger in other ways, as described in previous paragraphs and illustrations relating to prongs. It is to be noted that the location of theprongs 134 atbottom portion 196 ofbottom bar 194 of hanger has the benefit of causing the at least onefragrance piece 104 to be close to the bottom of hanger, and thereby minimizing the chance ofprongs 134 breaking. In addition, the location and size of theprongs 134 creates a low and streamlined profile that minimizes the touching of the garment to the at least onefragrance piece 104. The size and location of theprongs 134 also enables the user to easily to insert and remove the at least onefragrance piece 104, while at the same time theprongs 134 are able to hold properly sized, as previously described,fragrance pieces 104 within the preferred attachment parameters and/or the more preferred attachment parameters, and in some embodiments also within the removal and fit attachment parameters and/or the preferred removal and fit attachment parameters. - In exemplarily illustrated in these embodiments two sets of three
prongs 134 are preferred. In addition, preferably, the two sets ofprongs 134 will be located toward theouter edges 198 of the bottom bar of thehanger 188. The location of two sets ofprongs 134 near theouter edges 198 of the bottom bar enables the attached at least onefragrance piece 104 to encompass almost the whole width to the garment. As exemplarily illustrated inFIG. 13 , onefragrance piece 104 can be attached with each set ofprongs 134. However, it would be possible to attach onelong fragrance piece 104 that will engage both sets ofprongs 134. Additionally, if theprongs 134 andfragrance pieces 104 are sufficiently small, there could be three sets ofprongs 134, with a middle set located between the sets located near the outer edges of the bottom of the bottom hanger bar. This configuration would also enable the at least onefragrance piece 104 to encompass almost the whole width of the garment. - However, as previously described, it is also to be understood that in other embodiments the numbers of
prongs 134, the numbers ofprong 134 sets and the number ofprongs 134 in each set can vary from the threeprong 134 per set, and the two or three sets per hanger that are exemplarily illustrated inFIGS. 11-13 , 92-95, 97, and 100. In addition, as previously described the size and shape of theprongs 134 can also vary. Without intending to be limiting, it would also be possible to have only one set ofprongs 134 for onefragrance piece 104 that spans most of the width of the hanger. In addition, without intending to be limiting, it would also be possible to have onelong prong 134 that spans most of the width of the hanger for the attachment of at least onefragrance piece 104. The use of two or threefragrance pieces 104 per hanger is preferred, however, as theshorter fragrance pieces 104 can be easier thanlonger fragrance pieces 104 to attach and remove from the hanger. In addition, the use of more than onefragrance piece 104 perhanger 188, as exemplarily illustrated inFIGS. 11-13 enables the user to vary the number offragrance pieces 104 attached at one time, and to mix and match fragrances attached at one time. - Reference is now made to
FIGS. 92-97 b, which exemplarily illustrate awidened shoulder area 204 on at least onetop corner area 206 of ahanger 188. The widenedshoulder area 204 will have at least onetapering area 132 that gradually tapers. The size and configuration of eachwidened shoulder area 204 can vary. - Preferably each shoulder widened
area 204 will have four taperingareas 132 that gradually taper, as exemplarily illustrated, to provide gradual easement to the widened shoulder area without being destructive to the garment. In this embodiment, each widenedshoulder area 204 will have a widemiddle area 232 between twonarrow end areas 234. The width of the widenedshoulder area 204 will gradually taper at the taperingareas 132 located between eachnarrow end area 234 and widemiddle area 232. - In some embodiments, the widened
shoulder area 204 can be about 2.5 inches long measured from onenarrow end area 234 to the other, and about 1 inch wide measured at the widest point of the widemiddle area 232. For an all-purpose hanger, this sized widenedshoulder area 206, such as but not limited to the widened shoulder areas exemplarily illustrated in these FIGS., provides a happy medium between giving garments support without stretching the garments by sticking out too far, and without taking up too much room in the closet. However, it is to be understood that other sized widenedshoulder areas 204 can be used. By way of example, and without intending to be limiting, a larger widened shoulder area could be used for larger garments, and a smaller size widened shoulder area could also be used for smaller garments. - The beneficial uses of the widened
shoulder area 204 include, but are not limited to, the following: providing added support togarments 200, especially coats and jackets, as exemplarily illustrated inFIG. 93 ; holding hangingribbons 222 on garments including, but not limited to, strapless dresses, skirts, and pants on the hanger by hanging the hangingribbon 222 between the widened shoulder area and the middle of theupper bar 230 and preventing them from sliding off thetop corner area 206 of the hanger; keeping sleeveless garments from sliding off thetop corner area 206 of a hanger by hanging the garment on the widened area and/or between the widened area and the middle of theupper bar 230 as exemplarily illustrated inFIG. 94 ; and keeping garments intact on the hanger, particularly garments with wide necklines that might otherwise slip off the top corner ends 206 of the hanger. - As exemplarily illustrated in
FIGS. 92 , 96-97 thebottom side 208 of the widened area can have at least oneridge 210 that extends the length of the widened shoulder area, which will add strength and support to the hanger. - Referring now to
FIGS. 92-95 , 97, and 98, a topoval area 212 with apartial center bar 214 is exemplarily illustrated. The large size of theoval opening 216 and thepartial center bar 214, as exemplarily illustrated, are beneficial to enable the user to hangclothing accessories 202, including, but not limited to, sashes, belts, jewelry, scarves, ties from thepartial center bar 214. The largeoval opening 216 enables easy attachment and removal ofaccessories 202, and enables the attachment of wide or thick accessories. In addition, the wideoval opening 216 enables a long and widepartial center bar 214 to be located therein. The substantial width and length of thepartial center bar 214 enhances the ability of aheavy accessory 202, such as but not limited to, a heavy belt or piece of jewelry to be attached with the center bar without causing the bar to break due to the weight of the accessory. In addition, by way of example, and without intending to be limiting, a wide accessory, such as but not limited to a sash could be attached with thepartial center bar 214 without having to fold the accessory lengthwise, or otherwise having to reduce the width of the accessory. Further, the large size of theoval opening 216 creates sufficient space for the inclusion of apartial center bar 214 that only partially transects theoval opening 216, thereby enabling thepartial center bar 214 to be functional, and as previously described, while at the same time providing for an increased ease of the hanging and removal of accessories than would be possible if the center bar fully transected theoval opening 216. - Reference is now made to
FIGS. 92-95 , 97, and 99, which exemplarily illustrate aside hook area 228 in at least onecorner 220 of ahanger 188. Eachside hook area 228 has aside hook space 218 that is partially defined by ahook 226, onto which portions of garments, including but not limited to hangingribbons 222, andaccessories 202 can be attached with the hanger. The large size and location of theside hook space 218 as exemplarily illustrated enable the user to attachgarments 200 andaccessories 202, including wide orbulky hanging ribbons 222 ofgarments 200 to thecorners 220 of thehanger 188 while at the same time enabling easy hanging and removal of the hangingribbons 222 and/or other portions ofgarments 200 and/oraccessories 202. The bottomtriangle support area 224 below eachside hook space 218 adds added support and strength to thehook 226 and thecorners 220 of thehanger 188, thereby increasing the weight of thegarment 200 and/oraccessory 202 that can be hung from the eachhook 226 of the hanger without causing the hanger to break. - It is to be understood that the embodiments of the
hanger 188 exemplarily illustrated inFIGS. 11-13 , and 92-100 and described above, include various embodiments of four main embodiment groups (referred to as a “main groups”).
