ABSTRACT:
This manufacture prevents an unauthorized removal of an article or equipment item, such as a typewriter, for example, from a table top or the like. The article is secured to a cover plate which includes a plurality of hooking members or ears on its underside. These hooking members in turn engage apertures the body formations for which are securely mounted to a flat plate that in turn is secured to the table top or mounting surface. To assemble cover and plate into a locked position, the cover and its ears are shifted in a direction for engagement of ears to apertures. In this position then, a tang on a cylinder lock mounted in the cover's periphery is rotated into abutment with an edge of the plate, and the lock locked. The cover can no longer shift in a reverse direction to disengage ears from apertures. Case-hardened sleeves are provided to prevent sawing of screws which secure cover and article together. A body segment along the abutting edge of the plate is provided, defined by at least one recess, to cause a jamming effect in the event a prying bar were used adjacent the lock cylinder in an effort to separate cover and plate. Encompassment of cover to plate prevents successful attack to break engaged ears and apertures.
