         8 . The support mountable device of  claim 1  wherein the hook portion is generally J-shaped. 
     
     
         9 . The support mountable device of  claim 1  wherein the hook portion includes a generally flat retaining surface. 
     
     
         10 . The support mountable device of  claim 1  further comprising a deflection stop positioned to prevent the arm from moving beyond the retaining position. 
     
     
         11 . The support mountable device of  claim 1  wherein the holder includes an extended arm and that at least a portion of the extended arm includes a scratch preventing outer surface. 
     
     
         12 . The support mountable device of  claim 1  wherein the holder is a rotatable holder having a cam shaped surface. 
     
     
         13 . The support mountable device of  claim 12  wherein the rotatable holder rotates along a plane in response to a object being forced in a direction perpendicular to the plane. 
     
     
         14 . A support mountable device for receiving one or more brackets, the support mountable device comprising:
 a rail,
 the rail having an upper portion, a lower portion and a body extending between 
   the upper and lower portions,   the body including a support side and a bracket side,   the upper portion including a ledge spaced a distance from the support when the support side is placed against the support,   the lower portion including a base wall and a front wall defining a channel, and   the front wall including with a retaining portion and a guiding portion.   
     
     
         15 . The support mountable device of  claim 14  further comprising at least one alignment groove located on the bracket side for aligning a fastener for securing the rail to the support. 
     
     
         16 . The support mountable device of  claim 14  further comprising at least one mounting standoff. 
     
     
         17 . The support mountable device of  claim 14  wherein the rail includes a length such that the ledge and the channel extend along substantially the entire length. 
     
     
         18 . A bracket for releasable attachment to a support mountable rail, the bracket comprising:
 a body having an upper end and a lower end, the upper end including an upper wall and a rear wall defining an overhang cavity;   an arm extending along the body towards lower end, the arm including a hook portion and an actuator, the actuator being configured to manipulate the arm between a retaining position and a releasing position; and   a holder coupled to and extending outwardly away from the body.   
     
     
         19 . The bracket of  claim 18  wherein the hook portion is generally J-shaped. 
     
     
         20 . The bracket of  claim 18  wherein the hook portion includes a generally flat retaining surface.
