DEVICE FOR SECURING EQUIPMENT AGAINST THEFT

摘要

A device for securing equipment against theft has a fastener for attaching the device to the equipment, an anchor for attachment to a cumbersome object, and a coupler for flexibly coupling the fastener to the anchor. The shape of the fastener is unimportant except that it must attach securely to the equipment and it must provide for a suitably rigid connection to the coupler. The coupler is a substantially planar solid body defining an aperture passing through the plane. The coupler attaches to the fastener such that the plane defined by the coupler is oblique to the plane defined by an adjacent surface of the equipment. The anchor is an elongated member having a fixed end for attachment to the cumbersome object and a free end defining a radial passage. The cross-section of the anchor is small with respect to at least one diameter of the coupler aperture and is adapted such that the free end of the anchor passes through the coupler aperture. A lock having a shackle adapted to pass through the passage in the free end of the anchor and through the aperture in the coupler secures the coupler to the anchor.
