Arrangement for arresting a portable object to a stationary object by a cable
First Claim
1. An arrangement for arresting a portable object against a stationary object by looping around the stationary object one end of a cable and releasably coupling the other end thereof to the portable object, the arrangement comprising:
- a block-shaped body to which said other end of the cable is affixed, the body having a planar side surface;
an oblong circular cavity formed in the planar side surface with an undercut portion extending along about 180°
of one side thereof;
an attachment member comprising a flanging circular rib configured to fit into said cavity, said rib being of a width less than said undercut portion so that after fitting the attachment member into the cavity the attachment member is shiftable into engagement with the undercut portion thereby preventing a head-on releasing thereof from the cavity;
said body being further provided with a key operated locking device having a locking pin projectable into the cavity to restrain the shifting of the attachment member from a first shifted position thereof; and
means for affixing the attachment member to a side wall of the portable object.

Abstract
An arrangement for arresting a portable object, such as a desk computer, to a stationary object using a cable (40), one end of which is looped around the stationary object. The other end of the cable (40) is secured to a block-like cable-shoe body (44). An oblong circular cavity (46) is formed in the body (44) with an undercut portion (48) extending along about 180 degrees of one side thereof. Further provided is a lock member (10) having a ribbed attachment portion (24). The attachment portion (24) comprises a recess (26) defined between first and second ribs (28; 30) and is adapted to be inserted into the cavity (46) and shifted into engagement with the undercut portion (48), and then locked thereinside by push-in key operated device (50). Said lock member (10), with ribbed attachment portion (24) is affixed to a side wall of the portable object in various conventional manners.
