  • Publication number: 20110158765
    Abstract: A securing device includes a cylindrical fitting with one open end and a hole in an endwall at the opposite end. The shank of a bolt extends through the hole and is threaded into a mounting hole, e.g., a standard VESA mounting hole on a television or monitor. A no-access cap fits over the head of the bolt, and a generally bar-shaped member used to secure the television or monitor passes through a hole or holes in the side of the fitting. The bar-shaped member prevents the no-access cap from being removed from the fitting, and the no-access cap blocks access to the bolt so that the fitting cannot be removed, thereby deterring theft of the television or monitor. Suitably, a kit is provided with at least one no-access cap and at least one bolt in each of a number of different sizes, e.g., standard VESA mounting sizes.

  • Patent number: 7117700
    Abstract: The present invention provides a wheel-immobilizing device that does not require holes or indentations in the wheel in order for the device to be secured around the wheel or caster being immobilized. Additionally, a wheel-immobilizing device according to the invention is configured such that it may be placed on the ground in front of a cabinet, and the cabinet simply rolled into position with one of its casters between side walls of the device. The wheel-immobilizing device is then secured around the caster by passing a cross member or, in some embodiments, two cross members through the side walls on either side of the caster stem and then securing the cross member or members in position, thereby locking the wheel-immobilizing device to the caster of the cabinet and hampering rolling movement of the cabinet.
