Abstract:
1. A mounting assembly for anchoring an elongate member to a supporting structure, said mounting assembly interacting with an elongated flexible tie for surrounding said bundled elongate member, said tie having an exposed surface including a plurality of adjacent serrations extending lengthwise of said tie, said mounting assembly comprising: a support containing an aperture, said aperture allowing insertion and withdrawal of said flexible tie through said aperture, said support including a bottom surface; a non-binding friction tab located in said aperture of said support, said friction tab providing resistance to longitudinal movement of said flexible tie when said support and said flexible tie are arranged in a preassembled state, said friction tab being arranged to allow bidirectional longitudinal movement of said flexible tie when an external force is applied to said tie; a mounting stud having a distal end and a proximal end, said proximal end of said mounting stud extending from said bottom surface of said support, said distal end being insertable into said supporting structure; wherein said support comprises a top surface for supporting said elongate member; wherein said top surface further comprises at least one rail extending longitudinally relative to said tie; wherein said top surface comprises a pair of parallel, laterally spaced rails extending longitudinally relative to said tie; and wherein said top surface is H-shaped with defining, laterally spaced, parallel rails extending longitudinally relative to said tie.
