First Claim
1. A security device comprising:
- a mounting member;
a lanyard which is connected to and extends outwardly from the mounting member to form a closed loop defining a display item receiving space adapted to receive a display item so that the lanyard secures the display item to the mounting member;
a lanyard securing mechanism which is mounted on the mounting member and includes an operating member for operating the securing mechanism;
wherein the lanyard is movable relative to the mounting member from an operating-member access position adapted to allow access to the operating member when the display item is disposed in the receiving space to an operating-member blocking position adapted to block access to the operating member when the display item is disposed in the receiving space.

Abstract
A display assembly for automatically orienting a display item includes a base, a mounting member and a lanyard which extends outwardly from the mounting member to loop around the display item. The mounting member is removably mounted on the base to allow handling of the display item when removed and when mounted automatically moves from an unaligned orientation to an aligned display orientation. A lanyard securing mechanism mounted on the mounting member includes an operating member for operating the securing mechanism. The lanyard and display item are movable relative to the mounting member from an operating-member access position for securing the lanyard via the operating member to an operating-member blocking position to block access to the operating member to prevent loosening of the lanyard via the operating member. An alarm is activated in response to compromise of the lanyard or removal of the display item from the blocking position.
