Apparatus, a system and a method for detecting a security of a device with an optical sensor

A system for securing a device to a structural element, the system comprising:

• a base having an interior wherein the base has a top side and a bottom side opposite to the top side wherein a first opening extends through the base from the interior to the top side of the base wherein a second opening extends through the base from the interior to the bottom side of the base;
• an attaching means within the interior of the base wherein the attaching means extends outward with respect to the first opening of the base connecting the base to the device wherein the top side of the base abuts the device;
• an optical sensor within the interior of the base wherein the optical sensor is connected to an alarm box and a power source wherein the optical sensor communicates with the alarm box and further wherein the optical sensor is adjacent the second opening of the base;
• and
• a light emitting source within the interior of the base wherein the light emitting source is connected to the power source wherein the optical sensor receives a signal transmitted across the second opening from the light emitting source wherein the optical sensor detects a first condition indicating the device is secured to the base wherein the signal in the first condition is continuously received by the optical sensor wherein the optical sensor detects a second condition wherein the second condition interrupts the signal received by the optical sensor and further wherein the optical sensor activates the alarm box.

A method for securing a device and a removable attachment of the device, the method comprising the steps of:

• providing a base having an interior, a top side and a bottom side opposite to the top side wherein a passage extends through the base from the bottom side to the top side of the base;
• attaching the base to the device with a fastener wherein the fastener is defined by a length between a tip and a base of the fastener wherein the tip of the fastener extends outward with respect to the passage at the top side of the base and attaches to the device wherein the base of the fastener is within the interior of the base;
• emitting a signal from a light emitting source within the interior of the base wherein the light emitting source is attached to a power source;
• receiving the signal with a detector within the interior of the base wherein the signal is continuously received by the detector wherein the device is secured to the base and further wherein the signal is transmitted across the passage at the bottom side of the base;
• and
• activating an alarm indicating a condition has occurred wherein the condition is detected by the detector and further wherein the condition is an interruption of the signal received by the detector.
