Abstract: A security apparatus for attaching a portable unit to be protected to a supporting surface. The security apparatus includes a normally deactivated passive locking unit, which is activated by an electronic key unit, which is portable and moved adjacent to the passive locking unit to power it. The key unit includes a device for coupling electromagnetically the key and the locking units to transmit electrical power therebetween. A magnet is concealed within the security device to activate the electronic key, only when it is placed in the proper position relative thereto. Additionally, a mechanical arrangement for a locking pin is employed to further provide a level of sophistication before the actual unlocking of the device occurs.

Abstract: The security apparatus and kit, as well as the method of using them, includes a security device or cradle for receiving and restraining equipment, to be protected. Adhesive material extends along and is affixed to a substantial portion of the underside of the device, and forms a bond to the upper surface of a supporting surface. A restraining arrangement of the device surrounds a portion of the portable equipment to be secured, which includes a lockable arm which moves between an opened and a closed position to permit the equipment to be received and retained lockably within the device, and yet be readily unlocked and opened by authorized personnel. In order to remove the security cradle from a supporting surface once it has been bonded adhesively thereto, a dispenser of releasing agent cools the adhesive material to disable temporarily its adhesive bond, and permit the apparatus to be bonded subsequently to another surface.
