Security device e.g.for preventing theft of laptop computers

摘要

The device comprises a housing 1 accommodating a push button lock 2 and a pair of jaws 4 which are forced against bias of an O-ring 5 into engagement with the ends of a preformed slot or hole e.g.in the computer case by a cone 3 of the push button lock. The housing 1 and the lock 2, which are secured together, on assembly, by spring biassed peg 7, are free to rotate about the axis of the device, relative to the jaws, to take up a position to suit an anchor cable (not shown) secured by one end to the body at 10. The other end of the cable may be secured, in use, to a table leg (Fig.7).
