Abstract
A mounting device is provided for extending at least part of a line article along at least part of a structure. The mounting device includes a mounting platform having a base and two resilient legs extending from the base, where each of the two resilient legs has a free end such that a first distance between the two resilient legs is shorter than a second distance between the two resilient legs parallel to the first distance, and where the two resilient legs together form mutually opposing points of contact capable of securing the mounting device onto a structure. The mounting device further includes at least two retaining mechanisms extending from the mounting platform, 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 the direction in which the mounting device is secured by the two resilient legs on the structure.
