Abstract
The invention relates to a device for preventing a portable object from being removed from a support. The device of the invention comprises a pair of members each formed with an attachment base having an adhesive securing surface facing one direction and with at least one connecting arm projecting from the base in an opposite direction, the members being adapted to interconnect the object and the support through the connecting arms with one member having its attachment base adhesively secured to the object and the other member having its attachment base adhesively secured to the support and the connecting arms extending in side-by-side relationship. The device further includes tamper-proof fastening means for coupling together the connecting arms whereby to securely connect the object to the support. Such a device is particularly useful for preventing unauthorized removal of portable equipment, such as micro-computers, video cassette recorders and the like, from their intended or customary position on a support.
