Computer security locks and system therefor

A lock assembly for preventing theft of an electronic mobile device (EMD) is configured to engage a security cavity formed in the 2 mm thick outer wall of the EMD. The security cavity has left and right outwardly-flaring side walls extending away from the opening. The lock body supports first and second locking elements, each of which is configured to be insertable into the security cavity and has an arcuately-shaped side wall that is complementary in shape to the right / left outwardly flaring side wall of the security cavity. The first and second locking elements cooperate structurally to become wedged inside the security cavity in manner that prevents separation of the lock body from the EMD while the first and second locking elements are positioned inside the security cavity. Preferably, the arcuately-shaped sides of the locking elements extend over an arc angle of 180 degrees. A cable is coupled to the lock body to enable tethering the EMD to an immovable object, to prevent its theft.

Tethering system for portable article

The combination of: a portable article; and a tethering system having an elongate flexible component, a main body having a first slot, and a housing. A part of the elongate component is fixed to the main body. A length of the elongate component extending away from the fixed part can be formed into a “U” shape with spaced legs, with one of the legs directed into the first slot over a first length of the main body and to beyond the main body for connection to a support. With the housing and main body in an assembled relationship, the housing blocks the one of the spaced legs of the “U” in the first slot on the main body over the first length whereby friction forces generated between the elongate component and at least one of the main body and housing resist sliding of the elongate flexible component along the first slot as would change a size of the “U” shape.
