Abstract: An apparatus and method for releasibly securing a plurality of elongate members is disclosed herein. The apparatus includes a sheet portion having a length and a width. The sheet portion is flexible at several positions along the width to be rolled about itself and encircle a plurality of elongate members while in a rolled configuration. The apparatus also includes a locking portion operable to releasibly lock the sheet portion in the rolled configuration. The apparatus also includes a cylindrical portion being substantially rigid and positioned within the sheet portion when the sheet portion is in the rolled configuration. The apparatus also includes a plurality of stanchions extending between the sheet portion and the cylindrical portion when the sheet portion is the rolled configuration. The stanchions separate at least some of the plurality of elongate members from one another.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a self locking floating fastener. Further embodiments, forms, features, aspects, benefits, and advantages shall become apparent from the description and figures provided herewith.
