Definitions
- the invention relates to an access lock according to the preamble of claim 1.
- data processing devices for personal use often contain high-quality components, such as hard disk drives, memory chips or co-processors, on which the data are stored or by which the processing speed is increased.
- the housings of these devices are generally easy to open, so that there is a risk that these components and with them the stored data will be stolen. It can also be caused by unauthorized interference
- SPARE BLADE (RULE 26) Security strategies against data theft in data processing devices can be avoided by, for example, connecting an external drive directly.
- Peripheral devices such as a keyboard, mouse or scanner are required to use the data processing devices mentioned. These are connected to the data processing device via cables. The cable is only plugged in there, so that these peripheral devices, which may represent a significant material value, are at risk of theft.
- the invention is therefore based on the object of specifying an access lock for screwed housings, which represents mechanical protection against component theft or unauthorized data transfer with little effort.
- the inventive locking device for screwed housings is characterized in detail by a closable housing rotatably fastened via at least one housing screw.
- the measures according to the invention have the advantage that a housing secured in this way cannot be opened without authorization.
- SPARE BLADE (RULE 26) It is also advantageous that even when simple force is used, the secured screw cannot be loosened at this point without destroying the housing to be secured.
- a further development of the invention consists in that a locking insert can be inserted into the lockable housing and can be locked with the housing. As a result, the access lock can subsequently be attached and used in a simple manner.
- the locking insert has a shooting cylinder with a one-armed cross bolt attached to the rear, which can be brought into operative connection with a retaining slot in the housing for locking the housing and locking insert. In this way, the locking can be checked at any time and also canceled by the authorized person.
- a stepped ring which can be screwed onto the housing to be secured is provided for the rotatable fastening of the housing, the smaller-diameter step of which immerses in a bore in the rear wall with play on all sides.
- the housing and the locking insert advantageously have corresponding transverse slots which are open on one side and which form a closed opening transverse to the main axis after the locking of the housing and locking insert. This enables the backup of external, in a simple manner Connected devices and prevents their theft.
- Figure 2 also schematically in perspective the same access lock according to the invention in rear view.
- the housing 1 is open towards the front.
- a bore 3 is provided in the rear wall 2 for receiving a step-shaped ring 4.
- the ring 4 is centrally provided with a further bore 5.
- the housing 1 has an open transverse slot 6 eccentrically to the bore 3.
- the width of the slot 6 is dimensioned so that there is space for electrical cables of a predetermined cross-section.
- a holding slot 7 is provided laterally in the wall of the housing 1 and parallel to the rear wall 2.
- a locking insert 10 has a geometrically similar shape to the housing 1, the lateral limitation being selected so that the locking insert 10 can be accommodated in the housing 1.
- the locking insert 10 rotatably contains the locking cylinder 11 of a security lock.
- a pivot bolt 12 On the back of the locking cylinder 11, a pivot bolt 12 is arranged in a rotationally fixed manner.
- a further transverse slot 13 is incorporated in the closing insert 10 and is open towards the swivel bolt 12.
- a suitable screw is removed from the housing (e.g. screw 14 in Fig. 1) and inserted through the ring 4. Both together are then inserted from the front through the bore 3 of the housing 1. Then the ring 4 is screwed onto the housing to be secured with the screw 14.
- the dimensions of the ring 4 and the thickness of the rear wall 2 are coordinated so that the housing 1 can be freely rotated around the ring even when the screw is firmly tightened.
- the locking insert 10 is then inserted into the housing 1 and the locking cylinder 11 is pivoted by approximately 90 ° by means of the associated key 15 (FIG. 1).
- the swivel bolt 12 engages in the holding slot 7 and firmly connects the two parts 1, .10 to one another after the key has been removed.
- the freely rotatable arrangement of the unit formed ensures that the screw 14 cannot be loosened by rotating the housing.
- the closed transverse breakthrough formed by the two transverse slots 6, 13 in both parts of the access lock serves to receive one or more cables.
- these can be the connecting cables of peripheral devices, such as a mouse, keyboard, scanner or the like.
- peripheral devices such as a mouse, keyboard, scanner or the like.
- the device in question is secured against simple theft by passing the cable through the access lock. It could only be stolen after the cable had been cut off, but this would make most devices unusable and are difficult to repair.
