<p>Attachment devices are taught that preferably include at least one compressible leg interconnected to at least one non-compressible leg. Preferably, the non-compressible leg includes means for generating a compressing force in the compressible leg during an attachment operation. After the attachment device has been installed and the compressible leg exerts a retaining force against the object to which it is attached, an engagement means preferably retains the compressible leg in the compressed state to provide a secure and reliable attachment. <IMAGE> <IMAGE></p> |
