ABSTRACT:
A device for securing equipments such as personal computers, monitors, printers and the like by using a cable which is secured to a relatively immovable fixture. The device comprises a wire cable with a plastic sheath and having a bulbous protrusion on one end, a plurality of fastener blocks, a metal ring and a cam lock assembly. The cable locking device is secured to various equipments by fastener blocks with the cable passing through the blocks, the bulbous protrusion on the cable end preventing the cable from being pulled through the blocks. The free end of the cable is looped around a suitable pillar or immovable object, passing through a ring and thence through a cam lock assembly. By turning a key in the cam lock, the lock assembly is clamped to the cable, preventing the cable loop from being removed. Access to the screws holding the blocks to the equipment is prevented by the cable passing through the blocks above the screws. The invention can also be used without the fastener blocks, to secure guns and rifles from accidental use, by passing the cable through the barrel and clamping the cable by the lock assembly in the gun breech.
