Abstract

An electronic identification device for portable devices having a standardized rectangular security slot, such as a laptop computer, comprising anchoring means designed to be anchored in the security slot of the portable device; and electronic identification means attached to the anchoring means.

Claims (16)

1 . An electronic identification device for portable devices including a standardized security slot, comprising:

anchoring means designed to be anchored in the security slot of the portable device; and

electronic identification means attached to the anchoring means.

2 . An electronic identification device for portable devices as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the anchoring means comprise:

a first locking element, comprising an enlarged semi-cylindrical main member having a half-cylinder shaped cross section, a first and a second end and a flat side and having a width so that it can be introduced into the security slot, including a recess near its second end thereof forming an engaging portion and including a connection portion at its first end comprising a semi-cylindrical head having a half-cylinder shaped cross section including a perforation beginning at an edge and diametraly crossing the cross section of the semi-cylindrical head and wherein the with of said semy cylindrical is greater than the width of the main member;

a second locking element having a first and a second end and comprised by an enlarged main member having a first section comprised by a flat basic body a second section having a half-cylinder shaped cross section and a flat side and having has such a width that it can be introduced into the security slot, and including a connection portion at its first end comprising a semi-cylindrical head having a half-cylinder shaped cross section including a perforation beginning at an edge and diametraly crossing the cross section of the semi-cylindrical head and wherein the with of said semy cylindrical is greater than the width of the main member; and

wherein both locking elements are able to be locked inside said security slot in such way that once both locking elements are inserted in the security slot, their flat sides lay upon each other, the semi-cylindrical sections of their main bodies form a complete cylinder, and their semi-cilindrical heads form a complete cylindrical head, in which their perforations coincide and form a diametral perforation.

3 . An electronic identification device for portable devices as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the electronic identification means comprise RFID identification means attached to the anchoring means.

4 . An electronic identification device for portable devices as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the electronic identification means comprise RFID identification means attached to a plastic card which is attached to the anchoring means.

5 . An electronic identification device for portable devices as claimed in claim 1 , comprising:

anchoring means for locking in the security slot of the laptop comprising:

a first locking element, comprising an enlarged semi-cylindrical main member having a half-cylinder shaped cross section, a first and a second end and a flat side and having a width so that it can be introduced into the security slot, including a recess near its second end thereof forming an engaging portion and including a connection portion at its first end comprising a semi-cylindrical head having a half-cylinder shaped cross section including a perforation beginning at an edge and diametraly crossing the cross section of the semi-cylindrical head and wherein the with of said semy cylindrical is greater than the width of the main member;

a second locking element having a first and a second end and comprised by an enlarged main member having a first section comprised by a flat basic body a second section having a half-cylinder shaped cross section and a flat side and having has such a width that it can be introduced into the security slot, and including a connection portion at its first end comprising a semi-cylindrical head having a half-cylinder shaped cross section including a perforation beginning at an edge and diametraly crossing the cross section of the semi-cylindrical head and wherein the with of said semy cylindrical is greater than the width of the main member;

wherein both locking elements are able to be locked inside said security slot in such way that once both locking elements are inserted in the security slot, their flat sides lay upon each other, the semi-cylindrical sections of their main bodies form a complete cylinder, and their semi-cilindrical heads form a complete cylindrical head, in which their perforations coincide and form a diametral perforation;

electronic identification means comprising RFID identification means attached to a plastic card having a perforation in and end thereof, wherein the diameter of said perforation is greater that the width of the main body of each locking element;

wherein the plastic card is attached to the anchor means by passing the main body of each locking element trough said perforation before inserting them in the slot and after the insertion, the plastic card remain retained between the computer chassis and the cylindrical head formed by both semi-cylindrical heads.
