An illustrated view of an exemplary jewelry concealment apparatus for concealing jewelry and preventing potential theft is presented. The jewelry concealment apparatus is useful for a diversion to thieves searching for jewelry to steal when invading a home, office, etc. Also, the jewelry concealment apparatus is useful providing an enhancement to a room or other area. The apparatus has a vessel, a lid and a flower arrangement. The vessel is void in the interior and is preferably a vase. The lid is substantially flat. One or more coupling devices are coupled to a bottom of the platform when the bottom is coupled to a top edge of a top of the vessel. The one or more couplings may be the same or different and are preferably hooks. Items such as jewelry are removably coupled to the couplings. A bottom of the flower arrangement is removably coupled to a top of the platform. A top of the flower arrangement is a flowering group that is preferably artificial.

A method for securing a portable electronic device having a housing to a substantially immovable object utilizing a locking assembly having a security rod or spike formed with an anchoring end separated axially by a protruding end, a locking device with an internal locking mechanism and a cable permanently attached to the locking device at one end, includes several steps. The steps include securedly fixing the anchoring end of the security rod or spike to the portable electronic device upon or through the housing, attaching an other end of the cable to the substantially immovable object and inserting the protruding end of the security rod into an opening in the locking device to actuate the internal locking mechanism and lock the locking device to the captive security rod. Locking the security rod to the locking device concurrently locks the portable electronic device to which it is anchored to the substantially immovable object.

Apparatuses for physically securing a laptop in an open position to a tabletop of a display table or to another display surface are disclosed. In an embodiment an apparatus includes a main body and left, right, and front arms that are extendable and retractable relative to the main body. Left, right, and front side braces are attached respectively to the left, right, and front arms, and are configured to be secured to left, right, and front sides, respectively, of a lower body portion of a laptop. Fasteners extend downward from the main body and are attachable to a tabletop or to another display surface. A lock mechanism can automatically lock the arms in place after they have been at least partially retracted to secure a lower body portion of a laptop to the main body. Releasing the lock mechanism can cause the arms automatically to return to fully extended positions.

A component securing unit for mounting to a cooperating surface of a component, including: a component interface defining a first interface surface region and a second interface surface region; a first adhesive material located on the first interface surface region; a second adhesive material having one or more adhesive material properties that are different than adhesive material properties of the first adhesive material, the second adhesive material located on the second interface surface region; the component interface, first adhesive material, and second adhesive material co-operatively configured such that the first adhesive material and second adhesive material can each adhere to respective portions of the cooperating surface to mount the component securing unit to the cooperating surface.

A product-display system for displaying and securing a retail product. The system may include a retainer having a retainer bracket and a retainer body coupled to the retainer bracket. A retaining cable may be coupled to the retainer body at an opening in the retainer body. A fastener that may be unfastened to release the product from the retainer may only be accessed through the opening of the retainer body such that when the retaining cable is coupled to the opening, no fasteners of the retainer may be visible or accessible. The system may also include a display stem for holding the retainer and product. The display stem may include a recess for receiving at least a portion of the retainer body. The retaining cable may extend through the display stem and may simultaneously transmit power and data to a displayed product. The retainer may be returned to and held on top of the display stem using a retaining cable. The retainer may be oriented on top of the display stem in one or more predetermined positions through the use of magnetic forces.
