Abstract: A device for fixing a bracelet to a watch case includes at least one horn and a bracelet strand. The horn and the bracelet are held together by a bar. The horn includes a rigid blade arranged to fit together with at least one recess made in the bracelet strand. The at least one recess has an opening for receiving the blade during the placement of the bracelet strand so as to form a rigid link once the bar is put in place.

Abstract: A belt buckle has a main body, a rotatable shaft assembly, an elastic member and a controlling member. The main body has a front piece and two side pieces paired and connected with each other. A shaft rod and a stopping portion and an arced edge are formed on the side piece. The elastic member is provided inside the rotatable shaft assembly and is pivoted together on the shaft rod. The controlling member uses its controlling ends to be pivoted on the shaft rod. When the toothed portion is pushed to rotate the rotatable shaft assembly, the engaging bar of the rotatable shaft assembly can slide along the arced edge of the side piece. At this time, the controlling end of the controlling member is not linked by the engaging bar, the controlling member can be fixed in place when the belt is penetrated.

Abstract: A cable tether for computer and adapter security and theft Prevention. The cable tether has one or two loops at each end of the cable with a crimp-able metal sleeve. The end of the cable is attached to the sleeve forming the end of the loop while the cable loops back through the sleeve forming an adjustable loop. This end of the cable can slide within the sleeve. The loop is placed around the item to be protected or secured and cannot be removed. The loop is then pulled tight by pulling the cable through the sleeve. Once it is tight enough that sleeve is crimped against the cable holding it in place and forming a secure loop. This can be done at the other end to secure the item to a base, table or computer protecting it from getting lost or taken.
