  • Patent number: 5197706
    Abstract: A security mount for securing at least one piece of equipment to a surface includes a mounting plate which is mounted onto each piece of equipment for engaging a tension cable. The mounting plate contains an outwardly projecting portion which contains a channel for receiving one end of a tension cable therethrough. The end of the tension cable is fixedly attached to a ballstop which has a diameter greater than that of the channel. The ballstop prevents the end of the cable from slipping back through the channel to provide a secure attachment thereto while imparting to it complete freedom of movement. The opposite end of the cable contains an eyelet which is fixedly attached by a bolt disposed between a pair of coupled plates. The bolt only can be accessed by uncoupling the plates. The plates are attached to a surface from below the surface by a mounting bolt which extends through the surface and through an aperture in the first plate, and which is threaded into the second plate.
