ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for locking a notebook computer on a computer support includes a padlock, an elongated fixing member fastening the padlock to the computer support, and a lock support fastening the padlock to the computer. The computer housing of the computer is of the type having a straight slot and a threaded hole which are formed in the outer surface thereof, and is provided with a built-in bolt member which is engaged within the threaded hole. The lock support has a counterbore through which the bolt member extends. A rib projects from the lock support to engage within the slot of the computer housing so as to prevent rotation of the lock support relative to the computer housing. A shackle hole is formed through the lock support in such a manner that the counterbore and the shackle hole intersect. The shackle of the padlock extends through the shackle hole and covers the head of the bolt member so as to prevent a screwdriver from access to the bolt member.
