Spray bottle hanger

Abstract

An article attaches to a spray bottle, allowing the bottle to be suspended from a shelf, ironing board, or the like. The article preferably further includes an ergonomic indent enabling the user to comfortably hold the article connected to a spray bottle in a comfortable and convenience manner. The preferred embodiment includes a lower end with an opening physically configured to receive the neck of a spray bottle, and an upper end including a hook-shaped lip. The upper end may optionally include a friction-enhancing element. In terms of construction, the article is preferably made from a molded piece of plastic or other polymeric material. One advantage of the design is that when the upper lip is hung on an ironing board, the thickness of the article is sufficiently low in profile that materials to be ironed may be placed directly over the upper lip, thereby affording convenient ironing while ready access to the spray bottle.

I claim:  
     
         1 . An article enabling a spray bottle to be suspended from an ironing board or other surface, the spray bottle including a neck portion to which a manually operated spray head attaches, the spray head having an upper extent and a forward, manually operated trigger, the article comprising: 
 a shaped body having a lower end that engages with the spray bottle and an upper lip, such that when the lip is positioned on a surface, the spray bottle hangs therefrom.    
     
     
         2 . The article of  claim 1 , wherein the lower end of the body includes an opening that engages with the neck of the bottle.  
     
     
         3 . The article of  claim 1 , wherein the body includes a curved back surface opposed to the trigger, enabling a user to comfortably hold and operate the spray bottle with the article attached thereto.  
     
     
         4 . The article of  claim 1 , wherein the distance between the upper lip and the upper extent of the spray head is sufficiently spaced apart to enable the spray bottle to be hung from a variety of surfaces including ironing boards, shelves, and ledges.  
     
     
         5 . The article of  claim 1 , wherein the upper lip includes a surface or feature to enhance friction or holding capability.
