ABSTRACT:
A security device includes a case having an outside surface defining an interior volume for retaining merchandise and an access opening for receiving the merchandise into the interior volume; at least one notch opening on the outside surface of the case; and a locking mechanism adapted to removably couple to the case and at least partially block the access opening to maintain the received merchandise in the case when the locking mechanism is coupled to the case. The locking mechanism includes a housing, at least one flange extending from the housing for overlying at least a portion of the outside surface of the case, an actuator adapted to slidably extend longitudinally into the housing, engage the notch and couple the locking mechanism to the case when the actuator is in a first position, and a locking device disposed in the housing for fixing the actuator in place when the actuator is in the first position. The security device also includes a separate decoupling element adapted to operatively engage the locking mechanism and release the actuator from the first position.
