A device for connecting a first object to a second object the second object defining at least one surface which in turn defines a space, the device comprising (a) a member which may be connected to the first object, (b) a plurality of cams pivotally attached to the member, at least one of the cams defining an arcuate surface, and (c) a biasing object for biasing at least one of the cams against the surface of the second object, the member, the plurality of cams and the biasing object being sized and configured so that, when the member is connected to the first object and disposed within the space, upon biasing at least one of the cams, at least one of the cams pivots relative to the member so that the arcuate surface is placed and maintained in contact with at least one surface, thereby resisting force which might otherwise separate the first and second objects. A device for connecting a first object to a second object, each of the objects defining respectively at least one surface which in turn defines a respective space is further described, as are related methods of connecting objects to one another.
