<p>An apparatus is provided for securing an object (2) on a mounting surface (5). Each of a plurality of clamp assemblies (10) has at least two clamps (20) and a tension strap (30). The strap (30) interconnects the two clamps (20). Each clamp (20) has a fixed jaw portion (40) and a movable jaw portion (50). The jaws (40, 50) are pivotally joined such that the strap (30), when inserted between the jaws (40, 50), can be gripped thereby. Each clamp (20) further includes a base (70) with a swivel pin (80), and the fixed jaw portion (40) has a recess (90) for accepting the swivel pin (80) such that the fixed jaw portion (40) is able to rotate in the horizontal plane about the base (70) in order to position the strap (30) in any direction. The base (70) has a layer of bonding material (60). One of the clamps (20) is fixed to the mounting surface (5), preferably with the base (70) thereof in contact with the object (2), and the other of the clamps (20) is fixed to the object (2). The strap (30) has sufficient length to interconnect the clamps (20), a sufficient thickness to be clamped between the jaws (40, 50), and sufficient strength to hold the object (2) on the surface (5) in the event of an earthquake or other jarring disturbance.</p> |
