Abstract
A device for fixing an object to a support in accordance with the invention includes a housing having a first wall that defines a channel and a second wall extending from the first wall at an angle. A member has a first section that defines a hole and a second section that extends from the first section at an angle. The member is disposed relative to the housing such that the channel and the hole form a contiguous passage. A lever is pivotally attached to the housing and is movable between a nonobstructing position wherein the first section of the member is movable along the first wall of the housing and the object is movable through the passage, and a locked position wherein the first section of the member is secured to the first wall of the housing and the object is locked in position within the passage.

A device for fixing an object to a support, comprising:
- a housing having a first wall that defines a channel and a second wall extending from the first wall at an angle;
- a member having a first section that defines a hole and a second section extending from the first section at an angle, the member being disposed relative to the housing such that the channel and the hole form a contiguous passage;
- and
- a lever pivotally attached to the housing and movable between a nonobstructing position wherein the first section of the member is movable along the first wall of the housing and the object is movable through the passage, and a locked position wherein the first section of the member is secured to the first wall of the housing and the object is locked in position within the passage.
A method of fixing an object to a support, comprising:
- aligning a channel defined in a first wall of a housing with a hole defined in a first section of a member to form a passage;
- extending the object through the passage;
- moving the first section of the member through an elongated aperture defined in a second wall of the housing;
- mounting the member and the housing on the support;
- and
- pivoting a lever between a nonobstructing position wherein the first section of the member is movable along the first wall of the housing and the object is movable through the passage, and a locked position wherein the first section of the member is secured to the first wall of the housing and the object is locked in position within the passage.
