Abstract

A fingerboard can include first and second fingers with a channel therebetween, and a biasing element with a first plurality of lobes that extend into the channel and define first and second locations. First and second tubulars disposed in first and second locations, where movement of the first tubular from the first location engages the first biasing element and prevents movement of the second tubular from the second location while the first tubular is engaged with the first biasing element. A fingerboard can include first and second fingers with a channel therebetween, and a biasing element with a first plurality of lobes that extend into the channel. Axially adjacent lobes define a first location therebetween, and movement of a first tubular along the channel from the first location to an adjacent second location compresses a first lobe as the first tubular moves past the first lobe.
