Claim:
A system for hanging pictures on mainly plane surfaces and walls, the system for hanging pictures comprising: a pair of hanging members such that one of the hanging pair members is adapted for mounting on the wall, and the other hanging member is adapted to mounting on a picture, the pair of hanging members including: a first hanging member including one or more magnets, and a second hanging member is a plate formed of magnetic attracting material with at least one flange formed along the periphery of the plate and at least one opening formed in the flange along the periphery, the surface area of the plate of the plate being larger than the area of the magnet so that the picture is adjustable by sliding and rotating the magnet along the plate in a horizontal and vertical direction parallel to the wall, the movement of the magnet thereby limited when the magnet contacts the flange, the magnet released from engagement with the plate when the magnet slides through the opening with a movement parallel to the level of the wall, so that the picture may be removed from the wall without having to overcome the magnetic connection force between the plate and the magnet.
