Claims3
A security device for securing portable equipment having an elongated security slot opening in a chassis of the equipment, comprising:
- a main body defining a central axis, a head locking aperture, a mounting end and a terminal end;
- a slot-mating head having a transverse limb, the head supported on a shaft attached to the mounting end, the head being sized for insertion into the security slot opening, and the head and shaft defining an insertion plane;
- an elongated head locking member positioned outside of the insertion plane, the head locking member being relatively axially movable with respect to the slot-mating head through the head locking aperture;
- securing means for securing the head locking member in a head locking position after the head locking member has been axially advanced through the head locking aperture into the slot opening;
- and security device head locking member to an anchoring tether wherein the head locking member has a male combination lock fitting adapted to be connected to the anchoring tether, the lock fitting being lockably interconnectable with the body and having a terminal, slot-engaging cylindrical pin, and wherein the body has a combination lock housing for lockably engaging the lock fitting and securing the pin.
