Inventor unveils Dry Clean Caddy for hanging garment transport

By AI, Created 5:23 PM UTC, May 18, 2026, /AGP/ – An inventor from Houston has created the Dry Clean Caddy, a garment-handling device aimed at making dry-clean pickup and in-car storage easier, less awkward and less likely to wrinkle clothing. The invention is now being marketed for licensing as Ryan seeks a U.S. manufacturer or distributor.

Why it matters: - The Dry Clean Caddy is designed to make it easier to carry multiple dry-cleaned garments without the hand strain and clutter that come with bunching several hangers together. - The device also aims to keep hanging clothes upright in a vehicle, which can help reduce wrinkling and disorganization during transport. - Ryan M. is seeking to sell or license the patent rights, opening the door for a manufacturer or distributor to take the product to market.

What happened: - Ryan M. of Houston created the Dry Clean Caddy, a mechanical handling tool for collecting, transporting and organizing hanging apparel. - Ryan filed a utility patent with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. - Ryan is working with InventionHome to market the Dry Clean Caddy for sale or licensing. - InventionHome is asking interested companies to contact member@inventionhome.com.

The details: - The Dry Clean Caddy uses a rigid rod formed into a G-style shape that serves as both a handle and a support structure for multiple hangers. - The design allows users to gather a cluster of hangers in a single motion instead of repeatedly gripping them by hand. - The device is designed to support 20 or more garments, depending on material selection and configuration. - The caddy is built to stay relatively lightweight while maintaining structural rigidity. - The design interfaces with a vehicle headrest so garments can remain suspended vertically during transit. - The vertical carry position is intended to help preserve garment alignment and reduce wrinkling. - The device is also intended to avoid blocking vehicle windows or driver sightlines. - Existing dry-clean transport methods such as manual carrying, garment bags and vehicle hooks can limit capacity or add time and effort.

Between the lines: - The Dry Clean Caddy targets a small but common convenience problem: how to move several hung garments without damaging them or making the task cumbersome. - The product’s value proposition is practical rather than decorative. The core pitch is fewer handling steps, better ergonomics and cleaner vehicle storage. - Licensing interest suggests the invention is still in the commercialization stage, not yet a retail product.

What’s next: - InventionHome is looking for U.S.-based manufacturers or distributors that want to develop and distribute the product. - Interested companies can reach InventionHome at member@inventionhome.com. - Inventors seeking help with patenting, marketing or licensing can request information at info@inventionhome.com or call 1-866-844-6512. - More information about the company is available at InventionHome and inventor resources.
