  • Patent number: 11412864
    Abstract: An anti-theft mounting device for securing a component to a mounting surface is disclosed. The anti-theft mounting device includes a first counterpart, a second counterpart, and a fastener. The first counterpart, the second counterpart and the fastener are co-operatively configured such that the first counterpart and the second counterpart are configured for connection in a connected state such that a component-engager is established. The component-engager defines a component-receiving space including a component-engaging surface. While the first counterpart and the second counterpart are disposed in the connected state and the fastener is connected to the mounting surface, the first counterpart is connected to the second counterpart via at least the fastener, and the component-engager is connected to the mounting surface via at least the fastener.

  • Patent number: 6192722
    Abstract: An anti-theft device for securing a computer or office equipment component to a work surface. The device is adjustable for use with different sizes of components, and includes a base having first and second sections that can be moved relative to each other. First and second arms extend from the base to receive the equipment component to be secured therebetween. The device includes a generally U-shaped clamping member having an intermediate restraining bar for engaging the office equipment component and first and second parallel arms extending from the restraining member. The first and second parallel arms of the clamping member are telescopically engaged with the first and second arms, respectively, of the base. Locking means associated with the first parallel arms permit the restraining bar to be selectively locked into one of a number of possible positions relative to the base, wherein the equipment component can be clamped between the base and the restraining bar.
