a swiveling part, immovably fixed to a surface, such that the swiveling part is not pivotable along the surface; and
a load bearing part, pivotably hinged to the swiveling part via a pin, and flexibly attached to a flexible element for hanging an article via the flexible element and bearing the load of the article, the load bearing part automatically aligns with the direction of the loaded article to avoid any twisting force being transmitted through the pin,
the load bearing part swivels around/about an axis passing through the length of the pin, and is pivotable and swivels between an angle of 0° to 180°, with respect to the swiveling part; and
wherein, rotating the device around/about the axis passing through the length of the pin, brings the load bearing part with the hanging article suspended at a desired angle between an angle of 0° to 180° with respect to the swiveling part.
