Abstract: The invention is a frame apparatus including a frame body for retaining a display article and a securing system fixed to a support surface and detachably engageable with the rear surface of the frame body. The securing system includes a latch assembly attaching the frame body to the support surface and having a release mechanism concealed therebetween.

Abstract: An intrusion detecting switch is disclosed having an operator and a sensing device for sensing the detection of intrusions and to a protected area. The operator may be a magnet and the sensing device may be Hall effect switches the resistance of which will switch between high and low values in the presence and absence of the magnetic field. A mounting device may be provided for mounting the housing containing either the sensing device or the operator to its support. The mounting device is located behind the operator or sensing device such that if the housing is to be removed from its support, the sensing device or operator must be first removed which will result in an alarm.

Abstract: An anti-theft device to prevent the unauthorized removal of a mounted, flanged object comprising a cover overlying the mounting flanges of the object, a securing device for attaching the cover to the surface upon which the flanged object is mounted and a locking device for preventing removal of the cover from the securing device. The invention is particularly useful in remote oil field and other field uses to prevent theft of industrial machine accessories such as starters, generators, and batteries.

Abstract: A perforated board display bracket assembly is adapted for mounting on a perforated board. The perforated board openings receive a hanger member comprised of a flexible U-shaped rod having generally parallel spaced legs connected by a crown. The legs are retained against the back side of a display panel by a locking bar which engages the legs and biases the legs toward the panel. The display panel may slide on the legs between a locked and unlocked position. When in the locked position, the hanger member is in a detent. Manual flexing of the legs releases the hanger member from the detent and permits sliding of the display panel on the hanger member for ultimate removal from the perforated board.

Abstract: A frame into which a forward end of an automotive vehicle is driven, and secured, so as to prevent vehicle theft, the frame including adjustable bars, so as to clamp snugly against the vehicle, and, in one design, also including rollers against the vehicle wheels, that prevent the vehicle from riding off the frame.

Abstract: Collecting tank for coolant escaping from a demolished vessel of a sodium-cooled nuclear reactor includes an outer steel shell having an inner lining of blocks stacked one on top of the other, frame means for holding the blocks at a side thereof within the collecting tank, and a common support structure, independent of the outer shell, supporting the frame means.

Abstract: A rack for securing equipment against theft comprises a plurality of generally rectangular shaped shelves having an upper planar support surface and a pair of diagonally extending passage ways extending to diagonally opposite corners and including openings between the passage ways and the surface of the shelf. The shelves are supported by vertical tubular support structures that communicate with the passage ways at the corners of the respective shelves. The rack includes an enclosed compartment that is secured against theft by means of a locked door. Security cables or chains extend from an anchored position inside the security closure and through the tubular members to positions on the shelves for securing to the underside of the appliances and other equipment, such that the cables are not accessible for cutting.

Abstract: A storage and security frame assembly and more particularly a storage and security frame assembly including a multi-sided polygonal frame comprising respective frame members abutting adjacent frame members at mitered joints and wherein one of the frame members is magnetically retained in the closed position thereof to form the polygonal frame.

Abstract: The invention provides an easily transportable, general purpose box which may be carried about by hand and then anchored to rails and locked in place. Once the lid is locked on the box, no one without a key can move the box from the anchor rails. The invention is primarily intended as a portable trunk for mounting on a truck; however, it may be used anytime that a box is to be mounted on a chassis, such as a toolbox mounted on a wheeled dolly, a toolroom shelf, or the like, for example.

Abstract: A security mounting for attaching a movable component to a stationary component has a pin with an enlarged head attached to either the movable or the stationary component. A bracket which has a tortuous channel extending through a face plate on the bracket is attached to the other component. Within the tortuous channel is an opening which allows the pin to be inserted into the channel. The pin is inserted in the channel and slid along the tortuous path of the channel until the pin rests in a terminus end within the channel. To remove the movable component from the stationary component one must have prior knowledge that it is necessary to direct the pin along the tortuous path of the channel in order to free the movable component from the stationary component. This presents a deterrent for removing the movable component from the stationary component.

Abstract: The combination with a storage cabinet of a security device for removably locking it to the top of a table or counter to prevent unauthorized removal in the absence of an employee and yet to enable an employee or other authorized person to easily release it for movement from time to time or from place to place as may be expedient. The locking components are designed to be inaccessible from within or without the cabinet.
