ABSTRACT:
A holder for an object such as a photograph or a calendar. The holder may include either three or four layers. If made of three layers, there is an object engaging non-slip layer, a layer with magnetic properties that bears against the non-slip layer and an outer transparent or clear layer. A pocket formed between layers is used to receive a corner of the object to be held. This pocket is formed between the non-slip layer and the outer transparent layer. If four layers are used in the construction of the holder, then the transparent layer is folded to extend to enclose both the magnetic layer and the non-slip layer to form a corner object receiving pocket between them. All holders may have a triangular shape with an opened hypotenuse side used to receive the edge of the object to be held. At lease two such holders are normally used to retain an object, although six holders, one at each corner of the object and two at mid length, may be used to provide for greater holding strength. Variations in object dimensions may be compensated for by simply moving the movable holder corners different distances apart on the supporting metallic surface, like on a refrigerator door.
