Abstract
A security device includes a case with a lid to receive merchandise and a locking mechanism for latching the case closed. The locking mechanism has a housing with parallel flanges to overlie a portion of the lid and another surface of the case, preventing the lid from being opened. One end of the locking mechanism is fixed and the other is movable between open and closed positions, and a mechanism in the housing retains the movable end closed. A decoupler is provided for opening the locking mechanism.
