    Abstract: An, adjustable, retractable hanging system that enables hangers to be easily attached, moved, and removed from a suspended ceiling or unique wall rail. The hanger, which houses a take-up reel and a retractable cable, is backed with a pressure-clip or in an alternate embodiment, an adhesive or magnetic back. The hanger affixes to a suspended ceiling member or unique wall rail by means of a specially devised cup. Once attached to ceiling or wall, the retractable cable within the hanger extends or retracts to receive the object to be hung. The cable is reached by means of a hook on the telescoping pole and is retracted to within arm's reach. A movable device referred to here as a cable-stop, which is also attached to the cable, allows individuals the ability to adjust the suspending height of the material to be hung.
