  • Publication number: 20250344879
    Abstract: A security barrier apparatus includes a support portion connected to a display fixture, a barrier portion pivotally coupled to the support portion, an input device coupled to the support portion; and a locking assembly in communication with the input device and structured to define an unlocked state and a locked state. The locking assembly is configured to move to the unlocked state when an input is provided to the input device and is configured to move to the locked state when the input ceases to be provided to the input device. In the unlocked state, the barrier portion is enabled to be pivoted relative to the support portion between an open and closed position, and when in the locked state, the barrier portion is inhibited from pivoting relative to the support portion.

  • Patent number: 12428877
    Abstract: A recoil security apparatus comprises a body extending along a body axis and comprising an inner surface. The inner surface defines a plurality of surface features and surrounds a shaft extending along the body axis. A first holder is supported by the body and a second holder supported by the body. A securing member comprises an outer surface and is configured to traverse the shaft and engage the plurality of surface features. The securing member connects to the first holder at a first end and to the second holder at a second end. Rotation of the securing member in a first direction causes one of the first holder and the second holder to move in a direction away from the body. Alternatively, rotation of the securing member in a second direction causes one of the first holder and the second holder to move in a direction toward the body.

  • Publication number: 20250271009
    Abstract: A method of securing a portable electronic device includes structuring an anchoring member to be coupled to a display surface and to a security assembly. Structuring the security assembly to include a guide with one or more securing element engagement members, a first extension assembly and a support with a lock. Structuring at least two extensions to couple to the support and at least one holder to couple to the at least two extensions. Structuring a second extension assembly to couple to the guide and include a holder. When unlocked, the first extension assembly is moved along the guide in a direction away from the second extension assembly. When locked, the security assembly is coupled to the anchoring member and the first extension assembly advances towards the second extension assembly to retain the portable electronic device but is inhibited from advancing in the direction away from the second extension assembly.

  • Patent number: 12369729
    Abstract: A security barrier apparatus includes an attachment portion structured to couple the security barrier apparatus to a display fixture, a support portion that couples to the attachment portion and a barrier portion pivotally coupled to the support portion. An input device coupled to the support portion, a control module coupled to one of the support portion and the attachment portion, and a locking assembly is in communication with the input device. The control module is structured to be in electrical communication with the input device and the locking assembly to signal the locking assembly to move to the unlocked state when an input is provided to the input device and further structured to signal the locking assembly to move to the locked state when the input ceases to be provided to the input device. When unlocked, the barrier portion is enabled to pivot between an open and closed position.
