A wire assembly securement apparatus comprises a retainer body and first and second elongated arms. The retainer body is configured to attach, via a plurality of binding attachments, to a wire assembly. The first and second elongated arms are structured to extend from the retainer body and facilitate, via the plurality of binding attachments, attachment of the retainer body to the wire assembly. A retainer portion has a passage formed therein which is configured to a protrusion, such as a mounting stud. In various embodiments, first and second capture flanges extend via the passage and are configured to secure the securement apparatus to the protrusion. In various embodiments, the retainer body and first and second elongated arms are structured to attach to the wire assembly via a plurality of types of binding attachments.

1. A wire assembly securement apparatus, comprising: a retainer body configured to attach, via a plurality of binding attachments, to a wire assembly;first and second elongated arms structured to: extend from the retainer body; andfacilitate, via the plurality of binding attachments, attachment of the retainer body to the wire assembly;a retainer portion having a passage formed therein, the passage being configured to receive a protrusion, the passage being defined by a retainer wall that circumscribes the passage; andfirst and second capture flanges, each of the first and second flanges including an outer end and an inner end, the outer ends of each of the first and second flanges each being attached along the retainer wall and the inner ends of each of the first and second flanges defining free ends that extend into the passage, the first and second capture flanges being configured to move from a first position to a second position, different than the first position, to secure the securement apparatus to the protrusion;wherein the free end of the first flange is separated from the free end of the second flange by a first distance in the first position, and the free end of the first flange is separated from the free end of the second flange by a second distance in the second position, the first distance being different than the first distance; andwherein the outer end of the first flange is separated from the outer end of the second flange by the same distance in each of the first position and the second position. 2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the retainer body and first and second elongated arms are structured to attach to the wire assembly via a plurality of types of binding attachments comprising a first type of attachment and a secondary type of attachment. 3. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein the first type of attachment is a tie wrap attachment and wherein the second type of attachment is a tape attachment. 4. The apparatus of claim 3, wherein the retainer body has a plurality of receiver passages formed therein configured to receive tie wraps. 5. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the retainer body is configured to retain a plurality of wires having a plurality of diameters. 6. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the retainer wall is defined by one or more ovate walls. 7. The apparatus of claim 6, wherein the one or more ovate walls comprises at least one of a metallic material, a polymer material, and a composite material. 8. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the retainer body comprises a concave surface. 9. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the retainer body comprises one or more raised portions structured to prevent the wire assembly from an unstable motion. 10. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the first and second capture flanges are configured to temporarily secure the securement apparatus to the protrusion. 11. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the first and second capture flanges are operable to retain protrusions having a plurality of diameters. 12. A wire assembly securement apparatus, comprising: a retainer body configured to attach, via a plurality of binding attachments, to a wire assembly, the retainer body extending between a first side surface and a second side surface and further comprising: a first wall having a first end and a second end and extending between the first and second side surfaces;a second wall having a first end and a second end and extending between the first and second side surfaces, wherein the first end of the first wall is located adjacent the first end of the second wall; anda generally concave wall extending between the second end of the first wall and the second end of the second wall;first and second elongated arms structured to: extend from the retainer body, wherein the first elongated arm extends from the first side surface of the retainer body and the second elongated arm extends from the second side surface of the retainer body; andfacilitate, via the plurality of binding attachments, attachment of the retainer body to the wire assembly;a retainer portion having a passage formed therein, the passage being configured to receive a protrusion; andwherein the retainer body comprises a first receiver passage extending through a portion of at least one of the first wall and the second wall at a location adjacent the first side surface of the retainer body and a second receiver passage extending through a portion of at least one of the first wall and the second wall at a location adjacent the second side surface of the retainer body; andwherein the first and second receiver passages and the first and second elongated arms are structured to attach to the wire assembly via a plurality of types of binding attachments comprising a first type of attachment and a secondary type of attachment, and wherein the first type of attachment is a tie wrap attachment and wherein the second type of attachment is a tape attachment. 13. The apparatus of claim 12, further comprising first and second capture flanges, each of the first and second flanges including an outer end and an inner end, the outer ends of each of the first and second flanges each being attached along a retainer wall circumscribing the passage formed in the retainer body, the inner ends of each of the first and second flanges defining free ends that extend into the passage; wherein the first and second capture flanges are configured to move from a first position to a second position, different than the first position, to secure the securement apparatus to the protrusion;wherein the first position comprises a resting state and the second position comprises an expanded state; andwherein a distance as measured between the outer ends of the first and second flanges is the same in both the first and second positions. 14. The apparatus of claim 13, wherein the first and second capture flanges are configured to temporarily secure the securement apparatus to the protrusion. 15. The apparatus of claim 13, wherein the first and second capture flanges are operable to retain protrusions having a plurality of diameters. 16. The apparatus of claim 12, wherein the receiver passages are configured to receive tie wraps. 17. The apparatus of claim 12, wherein the retainer body is configured to retain a plurality of wires having a plurality of diameters. 18. The apparatus of claim 12, wherein the passage is defined by one or more ovate walls. 19. The apparatus of claim 12, wherein the one or more ovate walls comprises at least one of a metallic material, a polymer material, and a composite material. 20. The apparatus of claim 12, wherein the retainer body comprises one or more raised portions formed along and extending outwards from an outer surface of the concave wall, the one or more raised portions structured to prevent the wire assembly from an unstable motion.
