Abstract
An apparatus for securing a typewriter, includes a locking device for locking an outer case in a closed position and a fastening device for fastening a bottom plate of the case to a mounting base. When opened, the cover permits a portion of the bottom plate to be exposed. The fastening device is brought, from inside the case, into engagement with the bottom plate of the case through the exposed portion of the bottom plate, thereby locking the typewriter to the mounting base. The fastening device for the bottom plate cannot be released unless the locking device is unlocked by a key to open the cover. Accordingly, only a keyholder can unlock the locking device, thus preventing the typewriter from being stolen. Further, since the fastening device is engaged with the bottom plate of the typewriter case, the outer appearance of the typewriter is not degraded.
