Tool-less security apparatus
A security apparatus for securely displaying a portable electronic device comprises a base, a holder and a securing portion. The base defines a central bore and comprises a holder engagement portion. The holder comprises an outer surface defining a plurality of vertical channels terminating in a support surface forming a support platform. A holder groove is defined between the support platform and the outer surface of the holder. The securing portion comprises a plurality of projections coupled to each other by one or more lateral braces. Each of the plurality of projections comprises a lateral extension that is configured to contact the support surface and engage a holder groove. Rotation of the securing portion relative to the holder moves each lateral extension of the plurality of projections into the holder channel and secures the securing portion to the holder.
1. A security apparatus configured to securely display a portable electronic device, the security apparatus comprising:
a base defining a central bore and comprising,
a circumferential rim including a plurality of surface features, and
one or more anchors extending from a bottom surface of the base
a holder comprising;
an outer surface defining a plurality of vertical channels terminating in a support surface, the support surface extending from each of the plurality of vertical channels to a support platform, wherein a holder groove is defined between the support platform and the outer surface of the holder, and
an inner surface defining a depression, and
an extension extending from the holder and configured to be partially positioned within the central bore; and
a securing portion comprising a plurality of projections coupled to each other by one or more lateral braces, wherein each of the plurality of projections comprises a lateral extension that is configured to contact the support surface and engage the holder groove,
wherein rotation of the securing portion relative to the holder moves each lateral extension of the plurality of projections into the holder groove and secures the securing portion to the holder, wherein each support platform is configured to be positioned within one of the plurality of the surface features of the circumferential rim, and wherein the circumferential rim prevents the securing portion from being rotated relative to the holder.
2. The security apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a wireless charging device configured to be positioned within the depression.
3. The security apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the holder defines one or more side openings.
4. The security apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising an alarm device configured to generate an alarm signal when a portable electronic device is removed from the holder.
5. The security apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the support surface is positioned at about 90° relative to the outer surface of the holder.
6. A security apparatus configured to securely display a portable electronic device, the security apparatus comprising:
a base defining a central bore and comprising,
a holder engagement portion, and
one or more anchors extending from a bottom surface of the base
a holder comprising,
an outer surface defining a plurality of vertical channels terminating in a support surface, the support surface extending from each of the plurality of vertical channels to a support platform, wherein a holder groove is defined between the support platform and the outer surface of the holder, and
an inner surface defining a depression, and
an extension extending from the holder and configured to be partially positioned within the central bore; and
a securing portion comprising a plurality of projections coupled to each other by one or more lateral braces, wherein each of the plurality of projections comprises a lateral extension that is configured to contact the support surface and engage a holder groove,
wherein rotation of the securing portion relative to the holder moves each lateral extension of the plurality of projections into the holder groove and secures the securing portion to the holder.
7. The security apparatus of claim 6 , wherein each support platform is configured to accept a portion of a projection of the securing portion.
8. The security apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the circumferential rim prevents the securing portion from being rotated relative to the holder.
9. The security apparatus of claim 6 , further comprising a wireless charging device configured to be positioned within the depression.
10. The security apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the holder defines one or more side openings.
11. The security apparatus of claim 8 , further comprising an alarm device configured to generate an alarm signal when a portable electronic device is removed from the holder.
12. The security apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the support surface is positioned at about 90° relative to the outer surface of the holder.
