Abstract: The disclosed device provides an improved mounting assembly for securely supporting elongated items against a surface. The assembly provides a mount with an integrally formed flexible tie for retaining the items. The tie includes an aperture having a tab, which provides frictional force for the flexible tie tail when it is placed through the aperture for securing selected items. The device further includes a mounting stud having staggered or asymmetrical branch rows that extend from either side of a center section of the stud. The device may also include a diaphragm extending downwardly from the mount. The diaphragm will provide tension and resistance when the mounting stud is inserted into a supporting surface.
