However, the conventional computer lock cannot be operated easily and conveniently, thereby causing inconvenience to the user in operating the computer lock. In addition, the conventional computer lock has a complicated construction, thereby increasing costs of fabrication.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is to mitigate and/or obviate the disadvantage of the conventional computer lock.
The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a computer lock for securing an object, such as the notebook computer or the like.
Another objective of the present invention is to provide a computer lock that can be operated easily and conveniently, thereby facilitating the user operating the computer lock.
A further objective of the present invention is to provide a computer lock that can provide an anti-theft function so as to protect the notebook computer efficiently.
A further objective of the present invention is to provide a computer lock that has a simplified construction, thereby decreasing costs of fabrication.
In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a computer lock, comprising a lock body, a cover, a lock core, an action body, an action shaft, and a locking block, wherein:
the lock body has an irregular shape, and has an inside formed with a channel, the lock body has a periphery formed with two U-shaped receiving slots for receiving a power supply cord and other cord, the periphery of the lock body is formed with an insertion hole for insertion of a slide, the lock body has an end face formed with a shaft hole for mounting a pivot shaft and a receiving hole for receiving a spring and a pin, the lock body has a side face formed with a groove for mounting a locking cord;
the cover is pivotally mounted on the lock body by the pivot shaft, the cover has a first side formed with a first recessed zone for mounting a pad and a second side formed with a second recessed zone, the cover has a center formed with a through hole and two symmetrical protruding limit bars surrounding the through hole;
the lock core is movably mounted on the lock body, and has an end formed with a protruding catch flange for stopping the locking cord, the lock core has an inner wall formed with a slide slot for slidably mounting the slide of the lock body;
the action body is rotatably mounted in the lock core and has a periphery formed with an insertion hole for insertion of a locking pin;
the action shaft is secured on the action body to rotate therewith, and has a first end formed with a through hole for passage of the locking pin and a second end formed with an enlarged locking block; and
