Abstract: A trigger lock is provided with a shield member having a U-shaped channel forming a first plate and a second plate spaced apart from the first flange, with a web connecting the first and second plates. The shield member has a peripheral contour that is complementarily shaped to closely match the transition contour of a firearm, in the region of the firearm frame transitioning between the thick frame and the thin trigger guard. The shield member is fitted over the trigger guard, with the trigger guard situated within the U-shaped channel. A plug is inserted through an aperture in the first plate, through the trigger guard, and through a second aperture in the second plate. The plug is secured within the shield member by a lock attached to the end of the plug protruding from the second aperture, thus preventing access to the trigger and preventing removal or substantial movement.

Abstract: A securement system is provided that permits the secured locking of an ultra-portable laptop computer without requiring the use of a universal security slot. The system includes an edge member that has a body channel intersecting a screen channel formed on a face. When the laptop is open, the edge of the laptop screen fits within the screen channel and the edge of the laptop body fits within the body channel, with the edge member being positioned astride the hinge between the screen and body. A cross member connects the edge member to an opposite edge member engaged over the opposite edge of the laptop. When secured, the system cannot be removed from the laptop, since the two edge members are prevented from movement due to the cross member and the channels.

Abstract: A system for securing an interface mechanism within an aperture is disclosed. The system may include an interface mechanism comprising a body portion, extension, anchor, and traveler. The extension may extend from the body portion and have a traveler aperture. The anchor may selectively move through a range of motion with respect to the body portion. The range of motion may include one or more extended positions of the anchor. The traveler may be positioned within the traveler aperture. The traveler selectively moving through a range of motion with respect to the extension. The range of motion of the traveler may contain one or more blocking positions wherein the traveler confines the anchor to one or more extended positions. The system may further include a lock engaging the extension and confining the traveler to one or more blocking positions.

Abstract: A padlock having a horizontal shackle is disclosed. The padlock may include a base comprising a latching mechanism, a first shackle aperture, and a second shackle aperture. The padlock may also include a shackle. The shackle may comprise a first post extending from within the first shackle aperture, a second post extending from within the second shackle aperture, and a horizontal cross member extending in a line from the first post to the second post.

The interface mechanism may include a cylindrical base, a sleeve, and a second extension. The cylindrical base may comprise an extension aperture receiving the first extension therewithin. The slide may surround at least a portion of the cylindrical base and occupy a blocking position locking the first extension within the extension aperture. The second extension may extend from the slide and comprise a traveler occupying a locking position locking the slide in the blocking position. The lock may engage the second extension and lock the traveler in the locking position.

Abstract: A system for securing an item to an anchor is disclosed. The system may include an anchor, an item having an extension extending therefrom, an interface mechanism, a padlock, and a tether. The interface mechanism may received and engage the extension therewith. The padlock may selectively engage the interface mechanism in a manner to prevent the interface mechanism from releasing the extension. The tether may extend to tie the padlock to the anchor and, thereby, secure, the item to the anchor.

Abstract: An apparatus for attaching to a first wall that defines a security aperture. The apparatus comprises a housing defining a longitudinal axis and a locking flange extending from the housing on a shaft and having a profile that is complimentary to the security aperture, such that the locking flange has a first orientation relative to the security aperture for insertion into and removal from the security aperture, and a second orientation relative to the security aperture for retention within the security aperture. The locking flange is transformable between the first orientation and the second orientation. The apparatus further includes a locking member that is coupled to the housing and is cooperative with the locking flange for inhibiting transformation of the locking flange from the second orientation to the first orientation. The apparatus further comprises at least one leg that is parallel to the first wall.

Abstract: A dual-ended key ring holder device that allows a key ring to be quickly released from one end. Provision is made for display of artwork or advertising and a space inside the holder is provided for storing a currency note. The device employs a strong attractive magnetic force produced by two permanent magnets to ensure that a removable key-ring portion is normally held tightly to the holder. The device is small in size, inexpensive and reliable.

Abstract: A locking neck ring device that is placed over a capped bottle or container and grips the bottle neck ring, and together with a padlock or other securing means, prevents access to the bottle cap. The locking device comprises a clamp member that jackets a capped bottle neck; a cover which fits over the clamp member causing it to clamp on to the neck below the neck ring, and means to hold the clamp member to the cover. Provision is made for attaching a padlock or other securing means which holds the locking ring device in place. The bottle or container cap can then not be accessed for removal. The device is applicable to all sizes of drug containers, wine and liquor bottles for effectively locking access to the container contents.

Abstract: A dual-sided key ring holder that allows a key ring to be released from one end. The device uses a real or equivalent shell casing, and a real or equivalent shaped bullet member that fits in the mouth of the shell casing. The bullet member includes a hole in the nose for fastening a key ring thereto. A spring-loaded piston which is disposed inside the shell casing, normally acts on the bullet member to retain the bullet member in the casing. The piston includes a rigid tab which projects from the head of the shell casing and may be manually pulled to release the bullet member with a key ring from the casing. Provision is also made for fastening a key ring to the tab.

Abstract: An adjustable grip clasping device which comprises a post and a catch that clasps the post to hold an entry door open or a cabinet door closed. The catch may be mounted on a door and the post mounted in a door frame or wall baseboard, or the positions reversed. The catch utilizes a clamshell-like clasping mechanism to grip the post, and includes provision for a manual adjustment of the strength of the catch grip to suit an acceptable pull strength for release of the post from the catch. The device is inexpensive to produce, and readily adaptable for a broad range of clasping applications that include temporarily holding and securing light weight objects.
