Abstract: The invention provides a supported body having a magnetic or ferromagnetic component to adhere the supported body to a magnetic or ferromagnetic support, such as a table top by magnetic attraction. A reusable adhering component, such as a stretch-releasable pressure sensitive adhesive tape is disposed on a top surface of the supported body to removably attach tableware or dishware to the supported body. The supported body can be in the form of a plate, a coaster, a placemat, or other known configuration. Alternatively, a support body can be releasably secured to a table top or other support surface by a releasable attaching device such as a suction cup and a supported body can be releasably attached to a piece of tableware or dishware by a releasable attaching device such as a suction cup, and the support body and the supported body can be magnetically attached to each other.

Abstract: A system for adhering tableware or dishware to a table or other support surface, includes tableware or dishware pieces, a supported body having a first ferromagnetic component, and a support body having a second ferromagnetic component to be magnetically attracted to the first ferromagnetic component. The supported body also has a third ferromagnetic component, arranged on the supported body on an opposite side from the first ferromagnetic component, wherein at least one of the plurality of tableware or dishware pieces comprises a fourth ferromagnetic component to be magnetically attracted to the third magnetic component.
