Abstract: An apparatus for suspending articles from a surface is disclosed having a head portion and one arm member extending outwardly from one side of the head portion, arranged at an angle with respect to the head portion and haivng at least two spaced apart detents near a free distal end. An article to be suspended is hung from the arm member. The detents are in the form of bends in the arm and serve to restrict the article's movement in a longitudinal direction with respect to the arm member. The articles are held at the more proximal second detent, thereby leaving the more distal first detent open to allow for easy replacement of an article.

Abstract: A multiple position bookstand is provided with a base having an angled upright support mounted thereon which permits holding an open book in an upright position on one side of the upright angled support or positioning an open book on its side edge on the back of the upright angled support to permit reading of the book in a reclining position. An upstanding base bracket is spaced behind the angled upright support to bear on the lower pages in the open book while a downwardly extending bracket movably mounted on the back of the angled upright support holds the upper pages of the open book placed on its side edge behind the angled upright support.
