Abstract

The invention is a security bracket for a retail display. The security bracket has guide pins extending laterally outwardly from each side of a base member. Sliding blocks are mounted to each pair of guide pins. The sliding block also carries a vertical arm that may be adjusted upwardly or downwardly. Adjustment of the sliding blocks relative to a hand-held allows the security bracket to be used for mounting hand-helds with different footprints to a retail display.

a mounting puck having an upper portion and a lower portion, said upper portion carrying an electronic control board and having at least one port for a cable connection, said upper portion further including a top surface defined by an adhesive material, and further including beam means integrated with said upper portion, said beam means extending laterally outwardly from opposite sides of said upper portion, said beam means slidingly carrying a base block member that is slidable inwardly and outwardly to a fixed position on a lateral side of said upper portion, and a vertically slidable security arm mounted to said base block for pulling said hand-held against the top surface of said adhesive material, said lower portion of said puck being shaped to rest said puck on said display.
