<p>A disk drive lock assembly (1) employs a U-shaped housing (4) and a slot blocking member (7) movably mounted within the housing and between legs (15,16) thereof for linear movement relative to the housing (4). A key-actuated lock assembly (2) coupled to a cam member (5) is located in bores (21,22) in the housing. The cam member (5) has a square recess (42) which receives an extension (30) of the lock assembly (2) and engages with a pin (41) in a slot (52) in the blocking member (7). Rotation of the assembly (2) thus moves the slot blocking member (7) in a linear fashion relative to the hosing (4) between a retracted position and an extended position. A pad (11) secured to the lock assembly (1) is provided with an adhesive for permanently affixing the disk drive lock assembly (1) to a disk drive adjacent to a disk receiving slot (61) therein. In operation, the slot blocking member (7) is selectively moved between a retracted position and an extended position for selectively blocking access to the disk receiving slot (61) in a disk drive. <IMAGE></p> |
