Abstract
The present invention provides a security device and method for securing a media case. The security device may include a hinged pair of closure members, which when closed define a substantially rectangular aperture for receiving a media case to be secured with a close fit. The closure members include an internal protrusion that extends within a portion of the substantially rectangular aperture that coincides with a finger cavity portion of a media case. The closure members include a latch opposite the side including the internal protrusion.
Claims19
A security device for preventing opening of a media case that has two halves that are hinged together at one side of the case so that the case may be opened and closed, and which case has on the side thereof opposite its hinged side an elongated lock and/or finger cavity that is spaced inwardly from opposite ends of the case, the security device comprising:
- a pair of closure members hinged together for movement of the closure members between open and closed positions;
- the closure members in their closed position together defining an elongated aperture for receiving a media case to be secured with a close fit;
- a latch for locking the closure members in their closed position;
- the latch adapted to secure the closure members in the closed position until unlocked with a key;
- and
- the closure members defining a protrusion adapted to project into the elongated cavity of the media case, whereby the closure members may be closed around a middle region of the media case when closed with the protrusion projecting into the elongated cavity to prevent the security device from being slid off the media case.
A security device for a media case;
- the security device comprising:
- first and second closure members each having a hinge end and a latch end;
- the first and second closure members being hinged together at their hinged ends;
- the first closure member carrying a catch and the second closure member carrying a lock finger;
- one of the catch and lock finger being movable to an inward position that allows the first and second closure members to be closed without having the lock finger lock to the catch;
- and
- the catch or lock finger disposed in the inward position being moved to an outer position by the media case when the media case is inserted into the security device;
- the outer position allowing the lock finger to lock with the catch when the security device is closed.
A releasable security device comprising a hinged pair of closure members which when closed define a substantially rectangular aperture for receiving a media case to be secured with a close fit, the closure members including an internal protrusion extending within a portion of the substantially rectangular aperture and a latch opposite the side including the internal protrusion.
