A turntable 12 as a mounting table on which a notebook computer 14 is mounted is rotatably mounted on a display shelf 10 such as furniture. However, the turntable 12 does not rotate freely by 360 degrees with respect to the display shelf 10, and one side on each of the left and right sides is made to rotate only by 90 degrees, for example. The main body 16 of the notebook computer 14 is placed on the turntable 12. The display unit 18 of the notebook computer 14 is set to be in a state of being appropriately opened with respect to the main body unit 16. This laptop 1
The anti-theft device 20 is attached to the display section 18 of FIG.

The anti-theft device 20 has an upper surface portion 22 that is longer in the horizontal direction than the width of the display portion 18 of the notebook computer 14 and longer in the vertical direction than the thickness of the display portion 18, and is located 90 degrees below both ends of the upper portion 22. A pair of bent up portions 24
90 in the direction away from the lower end of each rising portion 24 to the outside.
It is formed by integrally forming the bent hem 26 with the bent portion. The display unit 18 of the notebook computer 14 is provided on the upper surface unit 22.
Is formed in a size that allows insertion of a through hole. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the through hole 28 is not formed perpendicularly to the upper surface portion 22, but is formed in a direction inclined backward by a suitable angle θ from the vertical surface. Notebook PC 1
When the display unit 18 is used, the display unit 18 is inclined backward by an appropriate angle θ from the vertical plane with respect to the main body unit 16. Therefore, the inclination angle θ of the through hole 28 is maintained at the angle at which the display unit 18 is used. It is for. In addition, although the upper surface part 22, the rising part 24, and the hem part 26 were formed integrally, they may be formed separately.

In the anti-theft device 20, the through hole 28 of the upper surface portion 22 is inserted into the display portion 18 of the notebook computer 14. Then, the pair of skirts 26 of the antitheft device 20 is brought into contact with the turntable 12. A stepped through hole 30 is formed in the skirt 26 as shown in FIG. The stepped through-hole 30 is set as a hole having a large diameter on the upper side and a small diameter on the lower side. A through hole 32 is also formed in the turntable 12, and a bolt 34 as fixing means is passed from the stepped through hole 30 of the skirt 26 to the through hole 32 of the turntable 12, and the tip of the bolt 34 is used as fixing means. The skirt 26 of the anti-theft device 20 and the turntable 12 are fixed with the bolts 34 and the nuts 36. At this time, the head of the bolt 34 is securely housed in the stepped through hole 30 of the hem 26 so that the bolt 34 cannot be operated from above the hem 26. Also, by narrowing the space between the upper surface of the display shelf 10 of the furniture and the lower surface of the turntable 12, it is possible to prevent a third party from easily contacting the nut 36, and to prevent the bolt 34 and the nut 36 from being easily removed. I do.

In order to prevent a third party from easily removing the bolts 34 and nuts 36 fixing the skirt 26 of the anti-theft device 20 and the turntable 12, the anti-theft device 20 is attached to the notebook computer 14. It is desirable as an assembling procedure that the anti-theft device 20 fixed to the turntable 12 in the fitted state is mounted on the display shelf 10 in a rotatable state. Although the bolts 34 and the nuts 36 are shown as fixing means for fixing the skirt 26 of the anti-theft device 20 to the turntable 12, the fixing means is not limited to this.

The anti-theft device 20 needs to be formed of a hard, thick and sturdy material that is not easily broken by a mischievous customer. Further, it is desirable that the upper surface portion 22 of the anti-theft device 20 be transparent. This is desirable in order to prevent a part of the display unit 18 from being hidden by the upper surface unit 22. For the anti-theft device 20, for example, transparent acrylic or the like is used. When the upper surface portion 22, the rising portion 24, and the hem portion 26 are formed separately, at least the upper surface portion 22 is made of a transparent material.

As described above, when the anti-theft device 20 of the present invention is formed of, for example, a transparent and strong material, when the notebook computer 14 is to be stolen, the anti-theft device 20 of the strong material must be destroyed. This requires a considerable amount of time and a loud noise when the wire is broken, as compared with a conventional case of cutting a wire. Therefore, it is more difficult to break the anti-theft device 20 of the present invention than to cut a conventional wire, and the present invention can significantly reduce the theft of the notebook computer 14.

The height of the rising portion 24 of the anti-theft device 20 (the distance between the upper surface of the turntable 12 and the lower surface of the upper surface portion 22 when the anti-theft device 20 is fixed to the turntable 12) is
The height is set so that a person can lift the notebook computer 14 sufficiently to measure the weight thereof, and that the notebook computer 14 does not come off the antitheft device 20. The height at which the notebook computer 14 can be lifted is the distance between the upper surface of the main body 16 of the notebook computer 14 and the lower surface of the upper surface 22. Laptop 14
If the distance between the upper surface of the main body 16 and the lower surface of the upper surface 22 is, for example, about 3 to 7 cm, the notebook computer 14 can be lifted and the notebook computer 14 does not come off the antitheft device 20. The distance between the upper surface of the main body 16 of the notebook computer 14 and the lower surface of the upper surface 22 is such that the notebook computer 14 can be lifted and the notebook computer 14 does not come off the antitheft device 20.
Any distance may be used.
