Abstract
An anti-theft device for securing a computer or office equipment component to a work surface. The device is adjustable for use with different sizes of components, and includes a base having first and second sections that can be moved relative to each other. First and second arms extend from the base to receive the equipment component to be secured therebetween. The device includes a generally U-shaped clamping member having an intermediate restraining bar for engaging the office equipment component and first and second parallel arms extending from the restraining member. The first and second parallel arms of the clamping member are telescopically engaged with the first and second arms, respectively, of the base. Locking means associated with the first parallel arms permit the restraining bar to be selectively locked into one of a number of possible positions relative to the base, wherein the equipment component can be clamped between the base and the restraining bar. The widths of the base and clamp member can be adjusted to correspond to the width of the equipment component, and the length of the base can be adjusted to correspond to the length of the component.
