Abstract

A holding device and includes an attachment base, configured to be attached to a support structure, and a generally U-shaped holding member coupled to the attachment base. The U-shaped holding member can have two upright arms which collectively define a containment area therebetween to receive and hold an elongate object. A plurality of resilient gripping teeth are also provided which project from at least one of the upright arms into the containment area. Each of the plurality of resilient teeth has an upper surface area facing generally upwardly and a lower surface area facing generally downwardly, with the upper surface area being greater than the lower surface area. The gripping teeth are configured to at least partially deflect upon insertion of the elongate object into the holding member to releasably secure the elongate object within the containment area.
