Abstract: A merchandise security device for securing items of merchandise from theft is provided. The merchandise security device may include a printed circuit board and a base containing the printed circuit board. The security device may include a sensor electrically connected to the printed circuit board and configured to engage a support surface for detecting unauthorized removal of the base from the support surface. The security device may also include a tether configured to be coupled to one or more items of merchandise, and a spool rotatably disposed within the base for winding and unwinding the tether, wherein the tether is configured to be extended and retracted relative to the base. The printed circuit board is coupled to the spool such that the printed circuit board is configured to rotate relative to the base when the tether is extended and retracted, and the sensor is configured to remain stationary when the tether is extended and retracted.

Abstract: An adapter plate for securing an item of merchandise to a merchandise security device is provided. For example, the adapter plate includes a body configured to be secured to an item of merchandise, wherein at least one slot is defined in the body. The at least one slot is configured to receive a first fastener for securing the body to the item of merchandise, and the body is laterally adjustable relative to the item of merchandise via engagement of the first fastener with the at least one slot.

Abstract: An exerciser having two linkages each with a member and a projecting extension. A distal end of each of the extensions travels in an oblong orbital path while one end of the member travels in a circular, orbital path and the other end travels in a reciprocating manner back and forth. This other end has wheels arranged to roll along a track without sliding. The exerciser has foot supports each attached to an associated one of the distal ends of the extensions and has arms that move in a reciprocating manner opposite each other. Provision is made to ensure that the arms and foot supports move through dead spots at the ends of their respective courses of travel. The arms and legs traverse respective distances when moving back and forth that are substantially the same in dimension.
