Method and apparatus for a tie-down strap retention device

A retention device for use with a tie-down strap, comprising:

• a tie-down strap board formed from a singular material, comprising:
• a first edge portion of the tie-down strap board folded to form a first strap retention section, and the first edge portion projects upwardly from an upper surface of the tie-down strap board and extends between a first end and a second end of the tie-down strap board;
• a second edge portion of the tie-down strap board folded to form a second strap retention section, and the second edge portion projects upwardly from an upper surface of the tie-down strap board and extends between the first end and the second end of the tie-down strap board;
• and
• a first retention flap coupled to a bottom surface of the tie-down strap board adjacent the first edge portion;
• and
• a second retention flap coupled to the bottom surface of the tie-down strap board adjacent the second edge portion, wherein the first retention flap and the second retention flap comprise a connecting material configured to come into contact with each other when a self-locking structure is formed to retain an extra portion of the tie-down strap not able to fit within a first space and a second space;
• and
• wherein:
• the first and the second strap retention sections extend inwardly from the first and second edges towards a center portion of the singular material;
• and
• the first and second spaces is formed between the upper surface of the singular material and the first and the second strap retention sections.

A retention device for use with a tie-down strap, comprising:

• a material with a first and a second folded edges, wherein the first and the second folded edges is configured to project substantially vertically upward from a surface of the material and substantially horizontally towards a center portion of the material, wherein the vertical and horizontal projections form a substantially ninety-degree angle;
• a partially enclosed tract formed by the first and second folded edges, wherein the partially enclosed tract is formed by the horizontal projections of the first and second folded edges;
• a first retention flap coupled to a bottom surface of the material adjacent the first folded edge;
• and
• a second retention flap coupled to the bottom surface of the material adjacent the second folded edge, wherein the first retention flap and the second retention flap comprise a connecting material configured to come into contact with each other when a self-locking structure is formed to retain an extra portion of the tie-down strap not able to fit within a first space and a second space;
• wherein:
• the tract further comprises the first space and the second space configured to receive a tie-down strap between the surface of the material and the horizontal projections of the first and second folded edges.
