Lock down assembly

Abstract

A lock down assembly is provided for securing a multi-sided three dimensional device, e.g., a laptop computer, a DVD player, a palm pilot, an MP3 player etc., to a support surface. In one preferred embodiment of the presently disclosed lock down assembly, the assembly includes a lock down member which is adapted to be secured to a support surface, at least one retention member secured to the top surface of the lock down member and a locking member which is removably secured to the top surface of the lock down member. Each retention member and the locking member is configured to prevent movement of a device supported on the lock down member in a particular direction or directions such that the combined effect of the retention member(s) and locking member is to secure a device on the top surface of the locking member. The lock down member includes a plurality of mounting bores for securing the retention member(s) and locking member at multiple locations on the lock down member. By providing multiple locations of securement, the lock down assembly can be modified to accommodate a variety of different size devices.
