Concealed Hanging Storage Device for Valuables

Abstract

The concealed hanging case is a storage device that can discretely and vertically hold valuables by means of a hook for easy access by the owner. Preferably, the device is shaped to look like a clothes hanger and when hung within a closet with a coat placed on top, is indistinguishable from the other hanging clothes to the unsuspecting eye. To accomplish this, the device includes a receptacle which can hold a variety of objects. The device further includes several depressions which conform to the shapes of the objects such that the objects may securely rest within the case while in an upright position. In addition, the case may be enveloped by a zippered jacket or cover which may be further secured by a lock. Thus, the versatile case may be used in a home, boat, office, and a variety of other settings.
