Connectors and methods utilizing wire/line wrapping

A connector adapted to connect multiple elements in an interior space of the connector, the connector comprising:

• a housing with a first housing portion and a second housing portion and a longitudinal centerline extending through the interior space;
• multiple elongated lines each secured to the first housing portion and secured to the second housing portion, the lines in a relaxed condition extending between the first and second housing portions, spaced from the longitudinal centerline, through the interior space of the connector;
• the multiple elements being inserted into the connector through at least one open end of the connector and extending through at least a portion of the interior space at the longitudinal centerline;
• the first and second housing portions being rotatable relative to each other on the longitudinal centerline to move the lines into a tightened condition wrapped around the multiple elements and around each other at a central region of the lines to capture and connect the multiple elements.

A method of connecting elongated elements, the method comprising:

• providing a connector comprising:
• a housing having an interior space and a longitudinal centerline, and comprising a first housing portion and a second housing portion, the first and second housing being rotatable relative to each other on the longitudinal centerline;
• multiple elongated lines each secured to the first housing portion and to the second housing portion, the lines in a relaxed condition being spaced from the longitudinal centerline and extending between the first and second housing portions through the interior space of the connector;
• the first and second housing being rotatable relative to each other on the longitudinal centerline;
• the method further comprising:
• inserting the elongated elements into at least one end of the housing so that the elements extend through the interior space;
• rotating the first housing portion relative to the second housing portion to move the lines into a tightened condition wrapped around each other and around the elongated elements in the interior space to capture the multiple elements inside the connector.
