This disclosure is directed to product merchandising systems that are designed to prevent brute force attempts to steal a product on display. The merchandising systems include security features that enhances the strength of the connection between a puck assembly and a base assembly and between the base assembly and a display surface. The merchandising systems are suited for withstanding brute force pulling attacks on the puck assembly and the base assembly.

The presently disclosed subject matter is directed to an anti-theft device for use with a motorized vehicle, such as a riding lawn mower. The device comprises a main body defined by first and second ends. Each end of the device comprises a pair of arms, each with a distal end and a proximal end. The distal end of each arm includes an aperture sized and shaped to allow a lock or other securing element to pass therethrough. For example, with riding lawn mowers, the disclosed device can be used to lock the mower handles in an “off” position, so that the mower cannot be started until the device is removed.

A method for operating a deposit-operated lock system for a borrowed object, in particular for a transport trolley which can be moved by hand. There is also described a suitable deposit-operated lock system. A key that is held in a deposit lock is released when an electric drive drives a carriage that is displaceably mounted on a blocking element in an initial position.

The present invention is to provide an anti-theft connector for equipment that can be used for different sized security slots with a single device, wherein the anti-theft connector is to be fixed to security slots of equipment, and comprises insertion pieces 20, 20 that have insertion pawls 21, 21 protruding and engageable with the security slots and base portions 22, 22, an angle adjusting means 30 adapted to enter between the base portions and to adjust the relative opening angles of the insertion pieces at least by a first opening angle and a second opening angle, and a locking means 40 for holding and locking the angle adjusting means.

A lockable clamping device for securing an object on a mounting surface is disclosed herein. The lockable clamping device comprises a first tab configured to extend over the object at one side. A second tab is engageable with the first tab and configured to extend over the object at another side. A lock tab facilitates assembly of a locking device to interlock the first and second tabs, thereby securing the object on the mounting surface.

A cooler access control system locks a cooler when occurrence of an event is detected that requires limiting access to the inside of the cooler. Examples of such events include the loss of power to the cooler for a predetermined period of time, the opening of the cooler door for longer than an allowed time, the loss of functionality of a temperature probe and others. In an embodiment, a service mode is supported wherein the door is left unlocked despite the occurrence of such an event, to allow a stocker or other personnel to leave the cooler door open while stocking the cooler with product.

A method of providing a merchandising system that includes a base supporting a product, configuring a housing to engage the base, wherein the base comprises a top wall, a first side wall, and a second side wall, configuring a rotatable door assembly to slidably engage the housing and the base, wherein the rotatable door assembly is configured with a door to hold the product, wherein the door is configured to move from a closed position to an open position, connecting a door spacer to the door and configuring the door spacer bar to rotate away from a front of the door, and mounting a locking assembly to the base.
