Arrangement for arresting a portable object to a stationary object by a cable

An arrangement for arresting a portable object against a stationary object by looping around the stationary object one end of a cable and releasably coupling the other end thereof to the portable object, the arrangement comprising:

• a block-shaped body to which said other end of the cable is affixed, the body having a planar side surface;
• an oblong circular cavity formed in the planar side surface with an undercut portion extending along about 180° of one side thereof;
• an attachment member comprising a flanging circular rib configured to fit into said cavity, said rib being of a width less than said undercut portion so that after fitting the attachment member into the cavity the attachment member is shiftable into engagement with the undercut portion thereby preventing a head-on releasing thereof from the cavity;
• said body being further provided with a key operated locking device having a locking pin projectable into the cavity to restrain the shifting of the attachment member from a first shifted position thereof;
• and
• means for affixing the attachment member to a side wall of the portable object.
