ABSTRACT:
A security device for securing a first object having an aperture to a second object. The security device includes a scissor locking unit for securing the device to the first object and a cable adapter. The scissor locking unit comprises a locking mechanism having a shaft that is rotated between an unlock position and a lock position, a cam connected to said shaft for rotation therewith and a scissor pivot assembly connected to the cam for translating the rotary motion of the cam into linear motion of a pair of scissor arms in the scissor pivot assembly. The pair of scissor arms will be in an overlapping closed position when the locking mechanism is in the unlock position allowing the scissor arms to be inserted into the aperture in the first object. The pair of scissor arms will be in a spread apart open position when the locking mechanism is in the lock position preventing the scissor arms from being withdrawn through the aperture in the first object so as to secure the device to the first object. The cable adapter first receives and houses a connector attached to the end of a cable where the cable has been attached to the second object and then receives the scissor locking unit so as to prevent the connector from being removed from the cable adapter. The cable adapter cannot be separated from the scissor locking unit after the scissor locking unit is attached to the first object.
