Abstract

Equipment, such as computers and computer peripherals, may be secured to a substrate by two or more clamping assemblies, each said assembly comprising a lower post (11) and an upper post (12) which have mutually threadedly engageable portions, a first bracket (18), which is configured to fit snugly around one corner of the equipment being secured, being fixedly mounted to the lower post (11) and a second bracket (19) optionally also configured to fit snugly around a respective corner of the equipment being secured, being fixedly mounted to the upper post (12). In use, the lower post (11) and the first bracket (18) of each assembly are secured to the substrate at a spacing corresponding to two diagonally opposed corners of the equipment to be secured. The upper post (12) of each assembly includes an outer sleeve (13), to which the second bracket (19) is mounted, and an inner threaded shaft which is engageable with the lower post (11) but is rotatable relative to the sleeve (13) only by use of a special tool.
After the equipment is placed between and fitting inside the first brackets (18), the upper posts (12) are attached to the lower posts (11), and screwed down using the special tool. Subsequent removal without such tool is extremely difficult. Rotation of the outer sleeve (13) does not release the upper post (12) and is prevented, in any event, when the second bracket (19) is comer shaped. The apparatus can be fitted to a wide range of different sizes of equipment, without any modification to the clamping assemblies. It can also be removed and re-used for other equipment. In other embodiments three clamping assemblies may be used and/or the upper brackets (19) of at least two of the assemblies may be tied together, e.g. by metal straps.
