<p>A device for protecting a computer peripheral against unauthorized removal includes a signal cord-holding portion (23; 84, 85; 173) having a signal cord holding passage (26; 76; 126). The signal cord holding portion (23; 84, 85; 173) is transformable between an open condition for receiving the signal cord (11, 12; 111, 112) in the signal cord holding passage (26; 76, 126; 176) or releasing the signal cord (11, 12; 111, 112) and a signal cord holding condition for preventing removal of the signal cord (11, 12; 111, 112) without dismounting from a connector or peripheral (9, 10, 27, 28; 127, 128). A connecting structure (25; 75; 142; 143; 175) is provided for connecting the device to an object. The signal cord holding portion (23; 84, 85) and the connecting structure (25; 75) are interconnected for securing the signal cord holding portion (23; 84, 85) in the signal cord holding condition if the connecting structure (25; 75; 142; 143; 175) is connected to an object (2; 30). A device for protecting a computer peripheral against unauthorized removal is also described.</p> |
