Abstract
A bracket having at least two gripping members for releasably supporting, and, in turn, affixing an object to a surface. The operable distance between the gripping members may be adjusted to compensate for the width of the object. Each of the gripping members is maintained in a substantially equidistant position relative to a center region of the bracket. A movable lip member compensates for the thickness of the object and provides additional releasable securement of the object.
