Abstract
A mounting assembly for securing one or more elongated items to a structural member. In one embodiment, the assembly may include a saddle mount device, a button head cable tie and may include one or more conventional cable ties. The saddle mount has at least one primary funnel-shaped aperture and may include additional apertures. The button head cable tie secures or cradles the elongate items to the saddle mount and secures the saddle mount to the structural member. The saddle mount base mates with the structural member. The resulting assembly holds the items in a spaced-apart relationship from the structural member. The conventional cable ties may be used to secure additional items to the saddle mount. Alternate embodiments include an integral or separate mounting member to affix the mounting assembly to the structural member.
