Patent

CA 2246139

A security device for laptop- or notebook-type portable computers is provided for the securing of such a computer to a surface. The device comprises, in general, a base which is securable to the surface; a housing pivotally connected to the base for providing an enclosed space to prevent the device from being removed from the surface; and a retainer articulated from the base which is lockingly engageable with the computer to trap the computer against the surface and, hence, prevent its removal. The device is adapted to quickly engage and disengage the computer and to provide a minimum of inconvenience with respect to the task of locking and unlocking the computer. When not in use, the device moves substantially out of the way so as to minimize obstruction of the surface on which the device is employed. The device not only presents a visible deterrent, but it also presents an evident and significant physical challenge for its defeat. The invention also provides for mounting the security device to a mini-table which is sized so as to be unable to be concealed easily under garments, coats, etc., or to fit within most briefcases or the like, thereby foiling the snatch, grab and hide techniques of most laptop thieves.
