Abstract
Systems and apparatuses for a magnetically actuable locking mechanism and a security device having a magnetically actuable locking mechanism are disclosed.
Claims26
A security device for an optical disc (OD), comprising:
- a security tag;
- a magnetically actuable locking mechanism having a first surface;
- a housing, the security tag and magnetically actuable locking mechanism secured to the housing, the housing comprising:
- a bottom portion having;
- at least one arcuate groove;
- and
- an OD receptacle having:
- an edge proximate to the magnetically actuable locking mechanism and;
- a recessed surface;
- and
- a top portion separable from the bottom portion, the top portion having at least one arcuate lip engageable with a corresponding at least one of the arcuate grooves;
- and
- the magnetically actuable locking mechanism magnetically moveable in a direction substantially perpendicular to the OD receptacle edge proximate to the magnetically actuable locking mechanism, the first surface of the magnetically actuable locking mechanism being substantially parallel to the recessed surface of the OD receptacle.

A security device for an optical disc (OD), comprising:
- a security tag;
- a magnetically actuable locking mechanism having a first surface;
- a bottom housing, the security tag and magnetically actuable locking mechanism disposed in the bottom housing, the bottom housing comprising:
- at least one arcuate groove;
- an edge proximate to the magnetically actuable locking mechanism;
- and
- a recessed surface;
- and
- a top cover, the top cover lockable to the bottom housing, the top cover comprising at least one arcuate lip, at least a portion of one of the arcuate lips is positioned within at least a portion of at least one of the arcuate grooves when the security device is locked;
- and
- the magnetically actuable locking mechanism magnetically moveable in a direction substantially perpendicular to the edge proximate to the magnetically actuable locking mechanism, the first surface of the magnetically actuable locking mechanism being substantially parallel to the recessed surface of the bottom housing.
