20120085134 | ADJUSTABLE CABLE SECURITY DEVICE - A security device is provided herein, the security device being structured for secure attachment to an object. The security device which comprises a housing, locking assembly, and cable, may also carry an alarm system for increased security. The locking assembly locks the cable at a desired length to secure an object. In one embodiment, a ratchet mechanism uses a spool that collects the cable when the ratchet is rotated, such that the cable tightens around the object to secure it. The ratchet mechanism, even when locked, still allows the cable to be tightened. In other embodiments of the security device a slide grip or pressing feature can be moved or pushed to engage a clamp feature, thereby pinching the cable in place. The cable may be comprised of two separate cables combined with sheathing for increased protection and insulation. | 04-12-2012 |
20120144882 | SECURITY DEVICE FOR PRODUCTS ON A DISPLAY CARD - Security devices according to the present invention may be configured to secure merchandise supported by a display card. The security device may include a housing defining an aperture configured to receive a secured portion of the article, an engagement member disposed generally proximate the aperture, and a sliding member configured to move the engagement member from the release position to a capture position. The secured portion may be removed from the aperture while the engagement member is in the release position and the secured portion may be inhibited from removal while the engagement member is in the capture position. The engagement member may define an engagement aperture where the secured portion of the article that is received through the aperture of the housing is also received through the engagement aperture of the engagement member. | 06-14-2012 |
20130067968 | CABLE RATCHET SECURITY DEVICE - An example embodiment of the present invention includes a security device for secure attachment to an object. The security device comprises a housing, a cable, and a spool assembly. The cable defines an anchor end non-removably secured in the housing, a removable end, and a loop therebetween. The spool assembly is rotatably supported by, and at least partially enclosed within, the housing. The spool assembly defines a cable winding portion and a capture portion. The loop defines a first effective length when the removable end of the cable is received by the capture portion. The loop defines a second effective length smaller than the first effective length when the removable end of the cable is received by the capture portion and the spool assembly is rotated in a winding direction such that at least part of the cable is wound onto the cable winding portion of the spool assembly. | 03-21-2013 |
