ABSTRACT:
An equipment security mount for protecting computers or other equipment from unauthorized removal includes a base or pad adapted to be fixed to a mounting surface such as a desk top and a cover having a flange depending from a floor on which the equipment is mounted from below The cover is thereafter locked over the base to prevent removal of the equipment from the base and the base from the mounting surface. The base and cover are secured by lock pins engaging aligned lugs or straps in the base and cover and retained by locks fixed in lock openings in lock housings of the cover through which the lock pins are installed or removed. Preferably the improved cover is made from high strength resilient plastic with brass inserts in the housings which secure the locks and capture adjacent ends of the lock pins to deter removal by bending of the flange. Gussets and ribs connecting with the floor and with the lugs and/or lock housings and flange further strengthen the plastic housing against bending damage, thus protecting the mounted equipment from loss.
