The present invention relates to a laundry container for a contactless laundry service including a body which provides a space in which laundry is accommodated, a first latching device provided to be attachable to and detachable from a user's door, and a second latching device provided to open or close the laundry container, wherein at least a part of the first latching device is provided to be inserted into the body.

A non-lethal restraining device includes an extendable restraining strap retained within a device body until deployed, when the extendable restraining strap is then looped over a person. A biasing element allows the extendable restraining strap to be tightened once it has been fully deployed and looped around a person's body to restrict the person's movement. When the extendable strap is tightened around the person's body, the device provides control points to direct and manipulate the person safely.

Aspects of the present disclosure may relate to a bag having a retractable lock unit that may simultaneously prevent theft of the bag and theft of its contents. The bag may include the retractable lock unit which can be secured to the bag, a zipper system having a pair of zippers, and a locking ring. In some aspects, a user may draw the lock unit from its housing to the pair of zippers and lock the pair of zippers together so as to prevent the bag from being opened. In this way, the bag may provide additional security for the contents while the user has the bag on their person or near themselves. In other aspects, the user may draw the lock unit from its housing around one or more objects before securing it to the locking point and/or a pair of zippers. In this way, the bag may be securely anchored to the one or more objects thus preventing theft of the bag itself as well as preventing theft of the contents.

A bicycle security device and associated bicycle theft alert or security systems are described. In some embodiments, the security devices and systems are configured to deter theft or other unauthorized uses of a bicycle, such as an electric bicycle, by providing multiple points or mechanisms of protection for the bicycle. For example, a bicycle security device, or bike lock, can include a cable or tether component integrated with a shackle of a wheel lock mechanism, which enables a rider to secure his/her bicycle via two integrated mechanisms of deterrence or protection within the bike lock.

A merchandise security device is provided. The merchandise security device may include a housing operably coupled with a cable. The cable is configured to be extended and retracted relative to the housing and to at least partially surround an item of merchandise. The merchandise security device may also include at least one sensor operably engaged with the housing and configured to detect unauthorized movement of the housing relative to the item of merchandise. The merchandise security device may further include a lock mechanism configured to lock the cable about the item of merchandise.

In some embodiments, an apparatus for locking a computing device includes an actuator, a locking protrusion connected to a first portion of the computing device, a locking receptacle connected to a second portion of the computing device, a shape memory material (SMM) wire, and a force conditioner. The SMM wire has a first state and a second state and is movable between states by the actuator. The first state and the second state have first and second lengths, respectively. Moving from the first state to the second state applies a contraction force along a longitudinal direction of the SMM wire. The force conditioner is configured to apply a return force to the SMM wire that opposes the contraction face. The return force returns the SMM wire toward the first state while moving a maximum available force of the SMM wire to the second state of the SMM wire.

A bicycle stand including a frame, a flexible cable or chain for securing a bicycle to the frame, and a lockable container which is attached to the frame, the flexible cable or chain having both ends secured by a lock that is entirely within the container.

A system for providing securement of a plurality of secure portable encasements including one or more encasements each configured to engage, and subsequently disengage, inseparable interaction with a common docking unit; and one or more common docking units, wherein the one or more encasements each has a multi-point locking system.

This invention involves a novel method, device, system and apparatus to receive, return or exchange parcels securely. The invention involves a novel security apparatus and one or more parcel receptacles. The novel security apparatus can be securely connected to an object such as a door knob or door handle or door knockers or door or any object to which my security apparatus can be securely connected. The parcel receptacles can be of many types. The locking mechanism in the security apparatus and on the parcel receptacle can be of technological in nature using the latest advancements in wireless technology, or alternatively, involve simple physical lock and key mechanisms. The apparatus allows access to parcels to authenticated users only, and involve many safety features including an audible alarm and other tamper-proof mechanisms to ensure safety of parcels.

A cable locking device includes a housing, a cable extending outward through a cable passage in the housing and terminating at a cable end connector receivable in a cable connection port in the housing, and a locking mechanism assembled with the housing and movable between a locked position and an unlocked position. When the locking mechanism is in the locked position, a first cable securing portion secures the cable against movement within the cable passage in at least an outward direction, and a second cable securing portion secures the cable end connector within the cable connection port. When the locking mechanism is in the unlocked position, the first cable securing portion permits movement of the cable within the cable passage in the outward direction, and the second cable securing portion permits removal of the cable end connector from the cable connection port.
