  • Publication number: 20070102594
    Abstract: Disclosed is an improved mounting assembly for securely supporting elongated items against a surface. The assembly includes a device to attach at least one elongate object to the mount, a spring section, and a mount section. The mount section is in the form of a rectangular fir tree mount. The rectangular fir tree mount has a tapered tip and a generally rectangular shape. The center segment of the rectangular fir tree mount includes a number of curved branches. The spring section includes flexible springs extending downwardly from the mount. The flexible springs provide tension and resistance when the mount is inserted into a supporting surface. The flexible springs and the branches allow the rectangular fir tree mount to be utilized on panels of varying thicknesses.

  • Publication number: 20070023586
    Abstract: A harness clamp tie includes a locking head and a flexible strap extending outwardly from the locking head. The strap is insertable through the locking head to form a loop that can be used at least one item. A pawl in the locking head secures the strap. Nonslip rails formed along the outer edge of the strap face and clamping rails formed on the locking head aid in securing small items. Conic friction points are formed on both sides of the strap surface to provide a mechanical grip for pulling the strap through the locking head. A mounting fastener extends from the locking head in the opposite direction. The fastener secures the tie to a mounting structure such as an aperture in a panel. The fastener includes a pair of flexible winged springs which help to stabilize the tie and hold the tie perpendicular to the panel.

  • Publication number: 20050242247
    Abstract: The disclosed device provides an improved mounting assembly for securely supporting elongated items against a surface. The assembly provides a mount with an aperture, which interacts with a flexible tie for retaining the items. The aperture contains a tab, which provides frictional force for the flexible tie when it is placed through the aperture in a preassembled state. The device may also include a diaphragm and a mounting stud extending downwardly from the mount. The diaphragm will provide tension and resistance when the mounting stud is inserted into a supporting surface. The stud may also contain staggered or asymmetrical branches that extend from either side of a center section of the stud. Furthermore, the stud may include a pilot branch located at the end of the stud that will be inserted into the supporting surface. The stud may have a spine and rib that assist in securing the device within a surface.
