Abstract: The present invention defines an anti-theft device for use with a variety of personal property, including bicycles, motorcycles and other small vehicles employing a three-part assembly of high-impact glass-filled nylon which attaches to vehicle frames of various size. The fastening means is hidden and sound channels are utilized to enhance an audible alarm and to prevent muffling of an interior speaker, activated by partial cutting or disconnection of a cable of known resistance. The cable is inserted in a case assembly with differing positions depending on whether the user wishes to set the alarm or store the cable out of the way if not energized. The alarm may be silenced by incrementally turning a key and removing a cable. The same key is positioned to allow arming of the alarm by insertion of the cables in the proper orientation.

Abstract: Coded interchangeable key pad assemblies alternately installed on a keyboard so that one of a variety of programmable sets of keyboard functions is enabled for selection by user actuation of the keys. Each key pad assembly has a durable construction and is securely attachable to the remainder of the keyboard. Each key pad assembly is installed on the remainder of the keyboard and interacts with the system with which the keyboard interfaces, preferably a programmable system, to provide a custom key panel for the user so that key functions can be tailored to a desired selection of operations available to the user upon actuation of the keys.
