ABSTRACT:
A security anchor for securing a portable article against theft comprises a block having a first face that is in confronting and contacting relationship with the article when the block is attached thereto. The block is formed with multiple slots that enter the block at a second face and are separated by webs of the block, and with a bore that enters the block at a third face and passes through the webs. A shaft that can be inserted in the bore has a plurality of first length segments that alternate along the shaft with a plurality of second length segments such that when the shaft is in a fully inserted position in the bore, the first length segments are located in the slots respectively. The first length segments are of smaller cross-sectional area than the second length segments and are connected to the second length segments by shoulder portions of the shaft. A slider can be fitted in each of the slots. Each slider can slide in its respective slot between a first position and a second position. Each slider is formed with an aperture having a first portion that is sized to accept a first length segment of the shaft but is too small to receive a second length segment thereof and a second portion that is large enough to receive a second length segment of the shaft, whereby the sliders can be brought to respective positions such that the shaft can be inserted into and removed from the bore and in other positions of the sliders the shaft cannot be non-destructively removed from the bore.
