An improved security system for preventing the theft of items, such as typewriters and personal computers. The system has a security plate which is fixed to the item that is to be secured. A bendable member is permanently attached to a center area of a plate base, and has a free end spaced from the center area of the base. A loop is advantageously formed on the free end for attaching the bendable member to a cable, chain or the like used to attach the plate to the anchor. When an attempt is made to forcibly remove the item, the bendable member bends to direct the removal force to the center of the plate where it can be distributed over the entire base and thereby more effectively resisted. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION It is a principal objective of this invention to provide a security system for securing items to an anchor, and which incorporates a fastener, or plate, that is easily attached to an item to be secured, that advantageously has a low-profile for attachment beneath the item, and that distributes a removal force over substantially the entire surface of the plate.
To this end, the present invention comprises a tie-down security system including a plate that is attached to the item to be secured, such as by a "double-sticky" adhesive pad.
The plate has a bendable member that is permanently attached to a plate base near the center portion of the base.
The bendable member has a free end which is spaced from the center portion of the plate.
The free end of the bendable member is attached to a cable, for example, such as by a loop formed on the free end through which the cable passes.
The cable is then affixed to an anchor, such as the leg of a table.
When someone attempts to forcibly remove the secured item, the bendable member is thereby bent relative to the base.
The force exerted on the plate remains directed toward the center of the base, however, thereby bringing the adhesive strength of the entire pad to bear against removal.
In a present form of the invention, the plate has a generally planar base, and is formed out of rigid metal.
The bendable member is made integral with the base, such as by stamping.
The free end of the bendable member is located at a side edge of the base.
A loop or rolled portion is formed in the free end of the bendable member through which a cable or chain is passed, with the cable then secured to an anchor.
The plate has a very low profile and is readily attached to the bottom of nearly any object with only the loop showing, if at all.
The foregoing features and advantages of the present invention will be further understood upon consideration of the following detailed description of some embodiments of the invention taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
