A structure for a device that is to be secured to a machine, the device comprising the structure. The structure comprises pair of projections 102 formed on a surface 101 of the structure proximate the machine. The pair of projections 102 are adapted to slidably guide a bracket 202 of the machine between the pair of projections 102. Each projection comprises a flexibly resilient portion 106 to bias the bracket 202 therebetween. A biasing element 108 extends from the surface 101, between the pair of projections 102. The biasing element 108 is adapted to engage an aperture 209 in the bracket 202. A stopper 110, proximate to a first end of each projection 102, is adapted to flex as the bracket 202 is slidably guided by the pair of projections 102 and to revert to its unflexed position after the biasing element 108 engages the aperture 209 in the bracket 202. Also provided is a housing for a device that is to be secured to a machine. The housing substantially enclosing components of the device therein and comprising the structure disclosed herein. A method for securing a device to a machine is also disclosed.
