Abstract
Disclosed is an improved mounting assembly for securely supporting elongated items against a surface. The assembly includes a device to attach at least one elongate object to the mount, a spring section, and a mount section. The mount section is in the form of a rectangular fir tree mount. The rectangular fir tree mount has a tapered tip and a generally rectangular shape. The center segment of the rectangular fir tree mount includes a number of curved branches. The spring section includes flexible springs extending downwardly from the mount. The flexible springs provide tension and resistance when the mount is inserted into a supporting surface. The flexible springs and the branches allow the rectangular fir tree mount to be utilized on panels of varying thicknesses.
