Patent ID: 7575215

Claim:
A removable anchoring system for retaining objects, the anchoring system comprising: a panel having a slotted aperture, the slotted aperture being of a width and extending from an upper surface of the panel to a lower surface that lies behind the upper surface, the lower surface extending away from the slotted aperture; a support frame, the support frame having sides and a bottom, a frame tube of a first diameter and a cylindrical external tube of a second diameter, the frame tube nesting in a telescopic manner within the external tube and having a spring-loaded lever adapted for engaging an item inserted into the frame tube; a support flange, the support flange being connected to the bottom of said support frame by a rigid column, the support flange being of a flange length and a flange width, the flange width being smaller than the width of the slotted aperture, and the flange length being larger than the width of the slotted aperture; a spring, the spring being larger than the width of the slotted aperture, so that the spring cannot pass completely through the slotted aperture, the spring being positioned between said support flange and the bottoms of said support frame, so that insertion of the support flange through the slotted aperture by aligning the length of the support flange with the slotted aperture and then turning the support flange allows the spring to bias the support flange against the lower surface of the panel.
