A locking cable device, which generally inhibits the theft of portable and more specifically inhibits the theft of expensive, electronic devices such as computers, laptops, and projectors. The security device works by use of a hook that hooks through an opening in an outside wall of the equipment to be secured. The hole can be an existing hole in the outside wall of the equipment, either round, square, or rectangular, such as a vent slot or security slot. A user may also add the opening by merely drilling an aperture or slot, sized appropriately for the corresponding hook on the security device. The hooked position is maintained by use of a housing locked on to the cable, close enough to the equipment being secured that the hook cannot be moved to an angle necessary for removal. |

1. A locking system to secure portable equipment comprising:
a) a security cable comprising a proximal and a distal end; b) a hooking mechanism immovably secured to said distal end of said security cable, disposed to be removably engaged to said portable equipment via a means for entry into an external wall of said portable equipment wherein said hooking mechanism is configured to remain secured when disposed at a first angle in relation to said external wall by directly hooking on to an edge of said external wall and configured to be disengaged when disposed at second angle in relation to said external wall; c) a housing, removably attached in a longitudinal manner to said security cable, said housing forming a longitudinal aperture sized and configured to allow passage of said security cable and said hooking mechanism through the housing, said housing disposed on said security cable wherein said housing prevents displacement of said security cable from said first angle in relation to said external wall to said second angle in relation to said external wall; d) wherein said proximal end of said security cable is coupled to an object other than said portable equipment; and wherein said housing is biased in a clamped position, the housing further comprising a clamp pivoting around a pivot point and biased in the clamped position by a spring; and wherein a locking mechanism must be unlocked to allow said housing to move freely on the security cable.
