Cable Assembly For Securing Hinged Products

View page
US Patent:
7768397, Aug 3, 2010
Filed:
Mar 15, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/686412
Inventors:
Christopher A. Kelsch - Tarpon Springs FL, US
Thomas J. Beach - Seminole FL, US
Lucas P. Swartwood - Tampa FL, US
Assignee:
Vanguard Products Group, Inc. - Oldsmar FL
International Classification:
G08B 13/08
US Classification:
3405456, 3406861
Abstract:
A security device for preventing theft of a hinged electronic product comprising a band that is inserted through the open area about the hinge of the product and a pair of anchor assemblies that are attached to the ends of the band. Alternatively, the security device may include a cable that extends about the hinge and is secured in an anchor assembly. A tether or cable attaches the security devices to an object to permit the hinged product to be moved over a limited distance. The security device also is connected to an alarm system so that removal or tampering with the band or cable activates the alarm. Filaments and contacts may also be used to detect the presence of the band within the second anchor assembly. An indicator may also provide notice when the security device is armed and/or tampered with.

Communication Connector With Analog Coupling Circuit

View page
US Patent:
8517748, Aug 27, 2013
Filed:
Feb 4, 2013
Appl. No.:
13/758174
Inventors:
Christopher A. Kelsch - Tarpon Springs FL, US
Chung-Ping Lee - Taoyuan, TW
Lucas P. Swartwood - Tampa FL, US
Bruno M. L. Telles - Tampa FL, US
Assignee:
Vanguard Products Group, Inc. - Oldsmar FL
International Classification:
H01R 29/00
H01H 1/58
US Classification:
439188, 43960755, 43960741, 200 5109
Abstract:
A communication connector with analog coupling circuit and a mechanical coupling circuit used for providing security to electronic devices. The analog circuit includes a male plug with an outer shell and tongue shell. Between the outer shell and tongue is a thin layer of non-conductive material to prevent the closure of a circuit. Two separate conductors are wired through the USB body; one attaching to the outer shell and the other attaching to the tongue. A closed circuit is created when the male USB is placed into a female receptor. The mechanical circuit creates a closed circuit when the plunger switch becomes compressed. There is a security monitor system connected to an end of the two conductors, which sound an alarm when circuit is opened. The alarm will sound if a thief attempts to steal the article either by cutting the wire or removal of the plug.

Anti-Theft Device With Adjustable Locking Arms For Securing An Article Of Merchandise

View page
US Patent:
20210040779, Feb 11, 2021
Filed:
Oct 27, 2020
Appl. No.:
17/081468
Inventors:
Christopher A. Kelsch - Palm Harbor FL, US
- Oldsmar FL, US
Matthew Kuntz - Tampa FL, US
Lucas P. Swartwood - Los Gatos CA, US
Wade Zhu - Westchase FL, US
Volodymyr Andreev - Lviv, UA
Peter D. Iezzi - Coral Springs FL, US
Andriy Los - Lviv, UA
Jasen Paul Biggins - Tampa FL, US
International Classification:
E05B 73/00
Abstract:
An anti-theft device for securing an article of merchandise against unauthorized removal from a display counter. The anti-theft device includes a plurality of arms slidingly disposed within the housing. Grips are disposed on proximal ends of the arms and are configured to receive and secure edges of an article of merchandise. A locking mechanism is disposed within the housing of the anti-theft device. Complimentary teeth are disposed on the locking component and the arms. An actuator transitions the locking components between a first unlocked configuration in which the teeth of the locking components are retracted away from the teeth of the arms, and a second locked configuration in which the teeth of the locking components engage the teeth of the arms.

International Classification:
E05B 73/00
Abstract:
An anti-theft device for securing an article of merchandise against unauthorized removal from a display counter. The anti-theft device includes two pairs of arms slidingly disposed within the housing. Grips are disposed on distal ends of the arms and are configured to receive and secure edges of an article of merchandise. A locking mechanism is disposed within the housing of the anti-theft device. Complimentary gear teeth are disposed on the outer surface of the locking component and the inner edges of the arms. An actuator transitions the locking components between a first unlocked configuration in which the gear teeth of the locking components are retracted away from the gear teeth of the arms, and a second locked configuration in which the gear teeth of the locking components engage the gear teeth of the arms.

Anti-Theft Device For Monitoring A Universal Serial Bus Type C Connector

US Patent:
20190073881, Mar 7, 2019
Filed:
Nov 5, 2018
Appl. No.:
16/180752
Inventors:
Christopher A. Kelsch - Palm Harbor FL, US
Chung-Ping Lee - Taoyuan City, TW
- Oldsmar FL, US
Lucas P. Swartwood - Tampa FL, US
Bruno M. L. Telles - Tampa FL, US

International Classification:
G08B 13/14
H01R 24/62
H01R 13/66
H01R 31/06
H01R 24/60
H01R 103/00
Abstract:
An anti-theft device for monitoring Type C USB connector. An alarm module has a first terminal and a second terminal. A male plug has a first conductive member in electrical communication with the first terminal and a second conductive member in electrical communication with the second terminal. When the male plug is positioned within the receptacle, a closed electric circuit forms between the first and second conductive members. The alarm module supplies an electric current to the first terminal and monitors the electric current flowing to the second terminal. Responsive to detecting an interruption in the electric current flowing between the first and the second terminals, the alarm module transmits an alarm signal.
