A retainer arrangement for selectively engaging the end of an article includ es a cradle member having an open recess configured to receive the article at a location adjacent the end of the article, and a retainer member that is movable between an ope n position in which the retainer member allows the article to be placed into or removed fr om the recess, and a closed position in which the retainer member maintains the article within the recess. The retainer member is releasably engaged with the cradle member when in the closed position, and engages the article to prevent outward movement of the article from the recess. The member has a pair of arms that define the recess, and also includes an upper wall above the pair of arms. The retainer member is pivotably mounted to the upper wall of the cradle member for movement between the open and closed positions, and is formed of a resilient material to enable the retainer member to stretch when moved to its closed position, to enable the retainer member to be moved into engagement with a latching arrangement carried by the cradle member.
