Patent

CA 2281466

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 retainer for engaging the computer's display; positioning structure for moving the retainer into and out of engagement with the display; and a mounting structure therefor which is securable to the surface. The device includes a locking mechanism which functions to fix the position of the retainer a predetermined distance above the surface 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.
