ABSTRACT:
An anti-theft device for securing a computer or office equipment component to a work surface. The device is adjustable for use with different sizes of components, and includes a generally U-shaped base member having an intermediate base frame and first and second parallel arms extending from the base frame and spaced apart to receive the equipment component to be secured therebetween. The base frame includes a base plate having a plurality of securing holes for receiving securing means to secure the base member to the support surface. The device includes a generally U-shaped clamping member having an intermediate clamp plate for engaging the office equipment component and first and second parallel arms extending from the clamp plate. The first and second parallel arms of one member are telescopically engaged with the first and second parallel arms, respectively, of the other member such that the base plate and clamp plate are opposed. Locking means are associated with the first parallel arms of the members and comprise a series of adjacent teeth and a locking device for engaging the teeth so that the clamp plate can be selectively locked into one of a number of possible positions relative to the base plate, wherein the equipment component can be clamped between the base frame and the clamp plate. In one embodiment, the widths of the base member and clamp member can be adjusted to correspond to the width of the equipment component.
