    摘要: A lock assembly for preventing theft of an electronic mobile device (EMD) is configured to engage a slot formed in the 2 mm thick outer wall of the EMD. The slot has top and bottom outwardly-flaring side walls extending away from the opening. The lock body supports first and second locking elements, each of which is configured to be insertable into the slot and has a top wall and a bottom wall that are complementary in shape to the top wall and the bottom wall the of the slot. The first and second locking elements cooperate structurally to become wedged inside the slot in manner that prevents separation of the lock body from the EMD while the first and second locking elements are positioned inside the slot.

    摘要: A security kit is provided that enables retrofitting a mobile electronic device with a theft preventing security slot. The slot allows locking therein a lock head, a cable of which is attachable to an immovable object. The security kit includes a security bracket having an attachment plate with a screw hole formed therein, and having a thickened portion having a security slot formed therein. A fork-shaped screw extracting tool is used to extract from the mobile electronic device one of the body screws and then re-use it to attach the security bracket to the housing of the electronic device.

    摘要: A lock assembly for preventing theft of an electronic mobile device (EMD) is configured to engage a security cavity formed in the 2 mm thick outer wall of the EMD. The security cavity has left and right outwardly-flaring side walls extending away from the opening. The lock body supports first and second locking elements, each of which is configured to be insertable into the security cavity and has an arcuately-shaped side wall that is complementary in shape to the right/left outwardly flaring side wall of the security cavity. The first and second locking elements cooperate structurally to become wedged inside the security cavity in manner that prevents separation of the lock body from the EMD while the first and second locking elements are positioned inside the security cavity. Preferably, the arcuately-shaped sides of the locking elements extend over an arc angle of 180 degrees. A cable is coupled to the lock body to enable tethering the EMD to an immovable object, to prevent its theft.

    摘要: A lock for computer security has housing comprising a bottom wall, at least one side wall and a front wall with a corner region defined adjacent to both the bottom wall and the at least one side wall. A locking assembly comprises a locking assembly body holding at least two locking elements including a main locking element and a movable locking element, both said locking elements being supported by the locking assembly body, and the main locking element extending from and away from the locking assembly body at the front wall of the lock housing. A driver is coupled to the movable locking element, configured to selectively move the movable locking element in frontwise and rearwise directions, and controlled by a locking mechanism. The locking assembly is secured to the housing at the corner region thereof, with the locking elements located directly adjacent both the bottom wall and the at least one side wall.

    摘要: A security strip defining a security slot and attachable to a mobile electronic device has a strip body shaped as a flat and thin, strip-shaped component with a length, a width and a thickness dimension, wherein the length of the strip body is at least ten times times the thickness dimension of the strip body. Screw holes enable screwing the strip body to an underside of the mobile electronic device. A security slot body protrudes from the strip body and has a thickened portion thicker than the thickness dimension of the strip body and defining therein a security slot in which a locking element of a locking device is receivable, the security slot body extending along the one of the side walls of the mobile device. The security strip includes at least one cutout that enables the security strip to extend generally in line of one of the front and rear legs of the mobile device so that at least one of the front or rear legs is at least partially locatable in the at least one cutout in the strip.

    摘要: A lock for computer security has housing comprising a bottom wall, at least one side wall and a front wall with a corner region defined adjacent to both the bottom wall and the at least one side wall. A combination-based locking assembly comprises a locking assembly body holding at least two locking elements including a main locking element and a movable locking element, both said locking elements being supported by the locking assembly body, and the main locking element extending from and away from the locking assembly body at the front wall of the lock housing. A driver is coupled to the movable locking element, configured to selectively move the movable locking element in frontwise and rearwise directions, and controlled by a locking mechanism. The locking assembly is secured to the housing at the corner region thereof, with the locking elements located directly adjacent both the bottom wall and the at least one side wall. A key-based lock enables overriding the combination-based locking assembly to unlock the movable locking element even while the combination lock is in a locked state.
