Systems and methods for making and using mounts for receiving objects and coupling to surfaces

A mount for receiving a cylindrical element, the mount comprising:

• a base;
• a retention assembly coupled to the base and configured and arranged to retain the cylindrical element between the retention assembly and the base, the retention assembly comprising
• a plurality of arm segments, each arm segment extending from the base, and
• at least two retaining members, each retaining member disposed at the distal end of at least one of the plurality of arm segments, wherein the retaining members are separated from each other by a gap through which the cylindrical element is insertable, wherein at least one of the arm segments or retaining members is resilient so that the gap is widened when that cylindrical element is pushed through the gap, wherein the retaining members retain the cylindrical element between the retaining members and the base until force is applied to pull the cylindrical element back through the gap;
• and
• a biasing member extending from, and moveable relative to, the base to engage the cylindrical element and bias the cylindrical element against the retaining members while lacking sufficient force to push the cylindrical element through the gap, wherein the biasing member comprises a movable element and at least one biasing element urging the movable element to move relative to the base.
