Lock for physically attaching a computer to an object, where the lock is of straightforward design having only one moving part, an interlock plate with extending locking journal

摘要

Lock is designed so that the interlock plate with its extending lock journal is the only moving part of the lock. Lock comprises a body (13) with a lock cylinder (12) that rotates in the body (13) with a drive journal (122) that stands out from the lock cylinder (12), a fixed plate (16) and an interlock (18). The latter are arranged between cap (14) and body (13). The fixed plate has a fixed lock journal (164) projecting from it, and the interlock (18) also has a lock journal (184) extending from it. The fixed lock journal (164) and the lock journal (184) mesh together via slit (146) in cap (14) so that the lock journal (184) moves relative to the fixed lock journal (164).
