Abstract: A security system having a flexible cord with a length, a housing, and a connector on the cable. The housing is mountable in an operative position on the support. The cord is urged into a stored state into the housing and can be selectively withdrawn therefrom. The connector is attachable to an article to be monitored. At least one of a) a first discrete part of the cord is repositionable relative to a second discrete part of the cord and b) at least a part of the housing is repositionable relative to a support on which the housing is mounted in an operative position to control twisting of the cord about the length of the cord by reason of turning of the connector.

Abstract: A security device having an elongate, flexible cable with a preformed coil, with the coil being defined by at least three turns of cable which extend and retract to allow the effective length of the cable to be altered. At least a first and second of the turns are connected to each other to control the tendency of the coil to tangle as the coil is extended and retracted in use. A structure is provided on the cable to allow connection of the cable to an article to be secured.

Abstract: A security device for a portable hand-held control for operating an electronic device from a location remote from the electronic device. The security device consists of a housing, an elongate flexible element, structure for attaching one part of the elongate flexible element to a hand-held remote control, structure on the housing for a) normally urging the flexible element part towards a first position in which the flexible element part is in a first relationship with the housing and b) allowing the flexible element part to be drawn away from the housing to be spaced a distance from the housing that is greater than that with the flexible element part in the first position.
