  • Patent number: 8813528
    Abstract: An apparatus for securing a personal electronic or hand held device (PED), includes a housing for a “pull-tight” lock mechanism attached to an elongated, flexible cable looped through a plurality of corner pieces, and a lock for releasable attachment proximate the distal end of the cable for looping the cable around a secure stationary work object and back through a cable accepting means on said “pull-tight” lock housing. A releasable locking mechanism is disposed within said housing to allow movement of said cable in the first direction, but not in the direction opposite from the first direction when the cable is slidably engaged or “cinched” tight through the corner pieces and secured around the PED by the user.
