Abstract: A closet hanger spacing device includes an elongate body having a series of spaced-apart spacing elements arranged along its length on a first side, and an adhesive element applied on a second side opposite the first side, whereby the spacing device can be adhesively attached to a hanger rod in a closet. The spacing elements define notches between them, in each of which the hook of a clothing hanger is received, while the spacing elements themselves maintain the desired degree of spacing between adjacent hangers and thus the clothing items hung on them. The spacing interval between the notches may be a fixed constant, or the device may have two or more portions with different spacing intervals. The adhesive element comprises a strip of double-sided tape or a strip of adhesive material.
