  • Patent number: 8464563
    Abstract: A size-adjustable apparatus for a securing a product in order to prevent theft of that product. The apparatus includes an adjustable housing, the housing having a first arm, a second arm, and a third arm. The first arm is adapted to move in a first direction and a second direction with respect to the third arm and the second arm is adapted to move in a third direction and a fourth direction with respect to the third arm, where the first direction is opposite the second direction and the third direction is opposite the fourth direction. The apparatus also includes a lock to retain the adjustable housing in a desired position. The result is a housing that can dynamically change its dimensions by movement of the first arm in a first and second direction and by movement of the second arm in a third and fourth direction.

  • Publication number: 20120103863
    Abstract: A product protection apparatus and method are provided. The product protection apparatus has an arm assembly, a first collar and a second collar. The arm assembly has a plane and is extendable in a first direction and a second direction opposite the first direction. The arm assembly has a first connection point and a second connection point. The first collar is rotatably coupled to the first connection point and is adapted to rotate about a first axis of the first connection point that is substantially orthogonal to the plane of the arm assembly. The second collar is rotatably coupled to the second connector and is adapted to rotate about a second axis of the second connection point that is substantially orthogonal to the plane of the arm assembly. The first and second collars are arranged to retain a product.
