ABSTRACT:
A decorative and functional fixture, which is capable of functioning as a sheetlike object hanger for vertically holding sheetlike objects, includes a front fixture having a substantially flat supporting surface at a rear side, wherein at least a rail groove is vertically extended on the supporting surface; at least a holding ball, which is rotatably disposed in the respective rail groove; and a rear supporting panel, which is integrally connected to the rear side of the front fixture, having a front holding surface extending behind the rail groove and the supporting surface to define a holding gap between the front holding surface and the supporting surface means and a back surface for mounting the rear supporting panel onto a vertical or slanted supporting surface. Whereby, the holding ball will move upward and inward into the rail groove when a sheetlike object is slidably placed up and into the holding gap. Due to gravity, the holding ball will return to its normally rest position again, i.e. the bottom end of the rail groove, to press the sheetlike object against the front holding surface of the rear supporting panel.
