ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for displaying information related to the weight of an article of clothing including a hanger-shaped frame and a scale for measuring the weight of an article of clothing disposed on the frame is disclosed. The apparatus may preferably include a visual indicator, such as a pointer and indicia, for displaying information to a viewer relating to the weight of the article of clothing, as desired. The scale may preferably be disposed within the frame and may be functionally connected to the frame such that the pointer moves within a slot in the frame as the scale measures the weight of the article of clothing. The indicia may be provided adjacent the slot to provide the viewer with visual information relating to the weight of the clothing as the pointer moves. In one embodiment, the scale may be calibrated within a predetermined range of weights where the indicia reflects more favorable attributes for a lighter range of clothing. For example, the indicia may include an arrow pointing toward the lowest weight on the scale to display to a viewer the light weightedness of the article of clothing and may list positive attributes associated with the lighter weight clothing.
