Patent ID: 7537191

Claim:
A mounting device for extending at least part of a line article along at least part of a structure, the mounting device comprising: a mounting platform including a base and two resilient legs extending from the base; first and second retaining mechanisms extending from the mounting platform; a limb having first and second limb ends, the first limb end on and extending from the mounting platform, the second limb end spaced apart from the mounting platform, the limb forming part of both of the first and second retaining mechanisms; a cross-piece on the limb and spaced apart from the mounting platform, the cross-piece oriented transversely to and having first and second arms extending from the limb, the cross-piece forming part of both of the first and second retaining mechanisms; each of the two resilient legs having a free end, a first distance between the two resilient legs being shorter than a second distance between the two resilient legs parallel to the first distance, the two resilient legs together forming mutually opposing points of contact capable of securing the mounting device, including the first and second retaining mechanisms and the mounting platform, onto a structure; where the first and second retaining mechanisms are mutually positioned to be together capable of extending at least part of a line article in any direction along at least part of such a structure, regardless of a direction in which the mounting device is secured by the two resilient legs on such a structure.
