Patent ID: 7923633

Claim:
A holder for receiving a conduit comprising: a first member having a first bearing surface; a second member having a second bearing surface; at least one of the first or second members including means for retaining a conduit; and a housing having first and second ends extending between the first and second members for accommodating a biasing means which is operable to bias the first and second members apart so that in use, the first and second surfaces are biased into engagement with a pair of surfaces of an external device so as to retain the holder between the pair of surfaces, the biasing means being compressible to reduce the distance between the first and the second bearing surfaces so that the distance therebetween is less than the distance between the pair of surfaces, wherein the holder comprises means for retaining the biasing means in a compressed mode during an operation of positioning of the holder between the pair of surfaces so that no bias force from the biasing means is applied to the pair of surfaces during the operation of positioning and wherein the means for retaining the conduit comprise a block provided at the second end of the housing, the block having at least one contact surface for contact with a surface of said external device, the block being made from a heat conductive material; and a first channel extending from an exterior into an interior of the block, the first channel being suitably shaped for receiving the conduit and the first channel being formed with sufficient amount of the material of the block surrounding the first channel along its length so as a heat conduction evenly from the block to the conduit disposed in the first channel.
