Line mounting device

A method of anchoring a line to a support structure wall comprising:

• providing a mounting device including a wall mount portion having a base with front and back surfaces and a hole passing through the base, a hub extending distally from the back surface of the base, with an elongated retention member including a pair of flexible legs and a distally extending cavity between the legs in communication with the hole of the base, and a plurality of engagement members on the outer surfaces of the legs, a stirrup having a line receiving opening attached to the front surface of the base and a laterally disposed slot located in the outer surface of the stirrup adjacent the base of the wall mount member, and a locking member having a distally opening hook member with a ledge located at a distal edge of the hook member at its proximal end and a distally extending shaft dimensioned to pass through the hole in the base and enter the distally extending cavity and engage the inner surfaces of the legs to bend the legs laterally;
• providing a bore in the support structure wall;
• inserting the elongated retention member of the wall mount member in the support wall bore until the back surface of the base of the wall mount member contacts an outer surface of the support wall;
• moving a portion of the line into the stirrup;
• positioning the distal end of the shaft of the locking member opposite the hole in the base of the wall mount member and pushing the shaft into the hole so that the shaft passes through the cavity between the legs contacting the leg inner surfaces spreading the legs apart so that the engagement members on the outer surfaces of the legs are forced against a surface of the bore, the ledge enters the laterally disposed slot to lock the locking member to the base of the wall mount member, and a distal end of the hook member extends past the distal free edge of the stirrup to at least partially close the line receiving opening to capture the line in the stirrup.

A mounting device for affixing to a hole or bore in a support structure, the mounting device to anchor a line to the mounting device and support structure, comprising:

• a wall mount member having a base with front and back surfaces and a hole passing through the base;
• a hub extending distally from the back surface of the base of the wall mount member, the hub including a pair of flexible legs with distal tips and a distally extending cavity between the legs in communication with the hole of the base;
• a stirrup having a line receiving opening attached to the front surface of the base of the wall mount member;
• a locking member having a hook member at its proximal end and a distally extending shaft dimensioned to pass through the hole in the base and enter the distally extending cavity and engage the inner surfaces of the legs to bend the legs apart;
• a laterally disposed slot located in the outer surface of the stirrup adjacent the front surface of the base;
• and
• the hook member has a base, a curved inner surface with a distal edge and a ledge at the distal edge positioned and dimensioned to enter the laterally disposed slot in the outer surface of the stirrup to lock the locking member to the base of the wall mount member.
