ABSTRACT:
A device for securing an object to a surface includes a pair of brackets, with each of the brackets having an elongated member with a pair of pivotally mounted cleats attached to the elongated member at opposing ends. Each of the cleats has a first U-shaped passage. To secure an object, the brackets are seated on substantially opposing sides of the object with each of the cleats pivoting to adjust to the contour of the object. A first restraining element passes through the first passage in one cleat for each bracket and a second restraining element passes through the first passage in the other cleat for each bracket. The ends of said first and second restraining elements are secured to the surface, thus securing the object to the surface. A method for securing an object to a surface using the apparatus of the invention is also provided.
