Abstract

In order to secure a valuable, otherwise portable device, such as a lap top computer, electronic organiser or mobile telephone, it is placed on a frame (10) with one edge fitting into a channel element (12) at one side of the frame. A slidably adjustable retainer element (14) is mounted onto the frame (10) and has another channel at the other side of the frame (10) which fits onto the opposing edge of the device. Once the retainer element (14) is locked in position (by lock (17), the device cannot be removed from the frame (10), which may itself be secured to a surface, e.g by a bolt of a further lock (19) engaging into a groove (46) of a surface-mounted pin (44). In another embodiment (Figs. 15 and 16) a single lock (117) serves to secure the retainer element in its selected position as well as to secure the frame to a fixed structure.
