Equipment security apparatus

Abstract

A security apparatus for preventing theft and/or tampering of an equipment or a part of this equipment, comprises a base member having a front wall, two opposite side walls and a rear wall. First and second elongated bent rods each include a first end section secured to the rear wall, a second end section secured to one of the two opposite side walls, a third rod section extending along a rear face of the equipment, and a fourth rod section extending along a top face of the equipment. The first and second elongated bent rods further comprise respective fifth rod sections extending along two opposite side faces of the equipment, respectively. A movement-restraining member extends along a front face of the equipment, this movement-restraining member comprising a key or combination lock for removably locking this movement-restraining member to the base member to thereby lock the equipment in the security apparatus. According to an alternative embodiment, the first and second elongated bent rods rotate about coaxial pivots located on opposite sides of the base member, a key lock removably locks these first and second rods on the front face of the base member, and a movement-restraining member secured to the rear face of the base member extends along the rear face of the equipment.
