- Locking apparatus 10 includes a cavity engagement mechanism 12 that is designed to associate with the cavity 18 in the portable electronic device 16.
- the cavity engagement mechanism 12 is insertable into the cavity 18, and a clamping mechanism 15 applies a compressive force to the exterior wall 21, to secure the cavity engagement mechanism 12 within cavity 18, and the locking apparatus 10 to the portable electronic device 16.
- the locking apparatus 10 includes a cavity engagement mechanism 12 with an insert portion 22 that is sized and shaped to occupy the cavity, and may correspond to the writing stylus that might normally occupy the cavity.
- Cavity engagement mechanism 12 may be a metal rod or a thick wire having an elongated shape.
- a cavity engagement member 23 of the cavity engagement mechanism 12 is configured to associate with the interior surface of the cavity when the insert portion 22 occupies the cavity.
- Cavity engagement mechanism 12 is shown in Fig. 2 as a U-shaped rod having the insert portion 22 as a first arm of the "U" and a second arm 39 angled toward the first arm.
- the first arm and second arm are substantially straight and connected by a straight bridge.
- a clamping mechanism 15 is coupled to the cavity engagement mechanism 12 and includes a wedge 25 and a clamping member 24.
- the wedge 25 includes a clamping surface 26 that may be constructed of a high- friction material suitable for resilient application to a metal or plastic outer shell of a portable electronic device.
- the clamping surface 26 applies a frictional resistance to the exterior wall against a pulling force that is generally in a direction away from the cavity, such as when a person attempts to remove the cavity engagement mechanism from the cavity, for example.
- the embodiment of the invention shown in Fig. 2 further includes a lock 30 that may be key actuated, or other similar locking mechanism, that is coupled to a threaded rod 32.
- a threaded nut 34 is coupled with threaded rod 32 and associated with the clamping mechanism 15.
- a biasing mechanism 29, such as a spring, resides on the second arm 39 and is coupled to the clamping mechanism 15.
- a housing 36 includes a cable attachment mechanism 31 for attaching a cable 14, and a stylus storage hole 38 for storing a stylus that may be displaced by the locking apparatus in use.
- An inside edge 37 of the housing 36 is preferably sized to abut, or nearly abut, the exterior wall of the portable electronic device to inhibit lateral movement of the locking apparatus 10.
- the insert portion 22 of the cavity engagement mechanism 12 is inserted into a cavity, which is not shown in Fig. 2 for ease of illustration.
- the cavity engagement member 23 associates with the interior surface of the cavity.
- Operation of the lock 30 moves the threaded rod 32.
- the threaded nut 34 is moved by the threaded rod 32 to ultimately translate the wedge 25 of the clamping mechanism 15 from an unlocked position, where the clamping surface 26 is spaced apart from the exterior wall, to a locked position, where the clamping surface 26 is compressed against the exterior wall.
- the insert portion 22 of the cavity engagement mechanism 12 In the unlocked position, the insert portion 22 of the cavity engagement mechanism 12 is easily insertable and removable from the cavity.
- the locked position the insert portion 22 is secured within the cavity via the cavity engagement member 23. An increased clamping force may be provided by the clamping surface 26.
- the locking apparatus may be locked to an object other than the portable electronic device, which also is not shown, but should be readily understood.
- Fig. 3 there is shown another embodiment 200 of the present invention having the cable attachment mechanism 12, insert portion 22, and cavity engagement mechanism 23, as described herein above.
- a lock 30 is coupled to a threaded rod 32, which is in turn operably coupled to a connector 41, such as a ball nut, or similar connecting mechanism.
- the clamping mechanism 15 is pivotally coupled onto the second arm 39.
- the wedge is an eccentric cam 40 having the clamping surface 26 on its inside peripheral edge.
- Other features, such as the housing and the biasing mechanism described above, are not shown here for simplicity of description, but may readily be included with each embodiment of the present invention.
- the lock 30 translates the clamping mechanism from an unlocked position to a locked position by pivoting a major part of the eccentric cam 40 in a direction relative to the insert portion 22 where the clamping surface 26 compresses against the exterior wall. If the cavity engagement member 12 is biased away from the cavity by a pulling force, the second arm 39 forces the cam 40 to pivot further, the shape of which increases the compressive force by the clamping surface 26. To unlock the apparatus, the cam 40 must be pivoted back away from the insert portion 22.
- the lock 30 may translate the clamping mechanism to a locked position from any angle. It should be further understood that the cavity engagement mechanism need not be a pinched-"U" shape, but may be any shape generally conforming to the operation of the locking apparatus as herein described, such as will be demonstrated with reference to Fig. 4.
- FIG. 4 Shown in Fig. 4 is a third embodiment 300 of the present invention, having the cable attachment mechanism 12, insert portion 22, and cavity engagement mechanism 23, as generally described herein above.
- the second arm 39 of the cavity engagement mechanism is substantially parallel with the insert portion 22.
- a screw drive 44 is coupled to a threaded rod 15 that is substantially perpendicular to the insert portion 22, to which is coupled a wedge 25.
- a lock 30 actuates a pin 42 that is adapted to engage a receptacle 43 in the threaded rod 15. In use, the threaded rod 15 translates the wedge 25 from an unlocked position to a locked position.
- the wedge 25 compresses against the exterior wall of the device in a direction relative to the insert portion 22, and the clamping surface 26 applies a frictional resistance to the exterior wall against a pulling force on the cavity engagement mechanism away from the cavity.
- the pin 42 either automatically or by operation of the lock 30, engages the receptacle 43 to secure it into place.
- the lock removes the pin 42 from the receptacle 43, allowing the wedge 25 to be withdrawn from the exterior wall.
- Figures 5 through 14 show various alternative embodiments of a locking apparatus having different types of a cavity engagement member 22 of an insert portion 12 according to the present invention.

- the cam portion 83 In the unlocked position, the cam portion 83 is aligned with the stationary portion 82.
- the cam portion 83 is misaligned with the stationary portion 82, as shown in Fig. 8. By being misaligned, the cam portion 83 engages the interior of the cavity and secures the cavity engagement member 22 into place.
- Fig. 9 illustrates another embodiment of a locking apparatus 90, in which the cavity engagement member 22 includes a barbed stylus 91 having at least one 5 retractable barb 92 that is extendible outwards from, and retractable inwards to, the stylus 91. Extending the barb 92 outwards engages the interior of the cavity.
- the cavity engagement member 22 includes a diagonally offsetting cam 101 that offsets from a stationary portion 102 at an angle in the locked position.
- Fig. 11 shows a first leg 111 and a second leg 112 of a cavity engagement member 22 that are juxtaposed in an unlocked position, and thus being shaped generally as a stylus. In a locked position, the first and second legs are axially offset from each other to widen an aspect of their cross sectional dimension, thereby engaging the inner surface of the cavity.
- Fig. 12 shows another embodiment of a locking apparatus 90.
- the cavity engagement member 22 coupled to the insert portion 12 includes a spring-loaded ball 122 that is held substantially inside a distal portion 121 of the cavity engagement member.
- a biasing spring 123 controls recession and extension of the ball 122 into and partially out of the distal portion 121.
- the ball 20 recedes into the distal portion 121 of the cavity engagement member 22, allowing full insertion.
- the spring 123 forces the ball 122 to extend partially outside the distal end 121.
- the ball 122 engages the inner surface of the cavity, and may be sized and adapted to engage a groove or recess within the cavity.
- Figs. 13 and 14 show further embodiments of the cavity engagement 25 member 22.
- a cavity engagement member 22 that has a rod 132 within it.
- the rod 132 translates in a direction shown, and includes at a distal end an expansion wedge 131.
- the wedge expands a first leg 133 and a second leg 134 apart, to engage the inner surface of the cavity.
- a rotating portion 141 is coupled to a stationary portion 142 of the cavity engagement member 22.
- the rotating portion rotates about a plane of rotation 146.
- the rotation portion has a first attachment member 143, and the stationary portion has a second attachment member 144.
- An expanding helix member 145 is attached to both attachment members, and winds around the cavity engagement portion. In use, the rotating portion 141 is rotated in a direction to expand the expanding helix member 145, which thereby engages the inner surface of the cavity.
