<p>A locking arrangement for securing portable computers and the like against theft including a cable (40) with a cable head (36) extended by a first stem portion (42), a collar portion (38) and a free end second stem portion (44) all in axial alignment. A prismatic lock body (10) includes a push-in, keyoperated locking device (24) having a releasable locking detent (26'). The body (14) has front (12), rear (18) and two side surfaces (14; 16). First, second and third bores (30; 32; 34) are formed respectively at the front and two side surfaces, in a common plane, passing each other and being of a diameter slightly larger than that of the collar portion (38). The locking detent (26') is insertable behind the collar (38) and above the first stem portion (42) thus precluding the extraction of the cable head (36) when inserted into any of the bores. Also, the rear side surface of the lock body can be secured to a portion of the computer, e.g., by gluing. For securing originally slot equipped computers (122), the arrangement further includes a standard T-shaped spindle head (154), configured to fit into the slot (150) in one position and to prevent removal upon being rotated within the slot after stem (44) is also inserted into the slot.</p> |
