Abstract:
1. A security device for a handheld electronic device, the handheld electronic device having a first side, a second side, a front surface, and a back surface, the security device comprising: a body having a first side, a second side, a first end, a second end, and an upper surface; a first arm extending from the first side of the body and having a distal end, wherein the distal end of the first arm has a first retention hook extending horizontally from the distal end of the first arm above the plane of the upper surface of the body; a second arm extending from the second side of the body and having a distal end, wherein the distal end of the second arm has a second retention hook extending horizontally from the distal end of the second arm above the plane of the upper surface of the body; a draw pin extending through the first side and the second side of the body for moving the first arm and the second arm simultaneously along an X-axis relative to the first side and the second side of the body to secure the first arm against the first side of the handheld electronic device and to secure the second arm against the second side of the handheld electronic device, wherein the draw pin comprises a first threaded end and second threaded end, wherein the first threaded end has a thread pattern that is counter rotational to the thread pattern of the second threaded end; and a leveling plate having a first end and second end, wherein the leveling plate is located between the first arm and the second arm and proximate to the upper surface of the body, wherein the first end of the leveling plate is connected to the first end of the body using a first leveling screw and the second end of the leveling plate is connected to the second end of the body using a second leveling screw to allow the first end of the leveling plate and the second end of the leveling plate to move independently of each other and independently of the body along a Z-axis relative to the upper surface of the body, wherein the first leveling screw is fixedly attached to the first end of the leveling plate and the second leveling screw is fixedly attached to the second end of the leveling plate, wherein the leveling plate is not integral with the first leveling screw or the second leveling screw, wherein the first leveling screw is configured to secure the first end of the leveling plate against the back surface of the handheld electronic device and the second leveling screw is configured to secure the second end of the leveling plate against the back surface of the handheld electronic device, and wherein the leveling plate is configured to apply force to the back surface of the handheld electronic device to secure the first and second retention hooks against the front surface of the handheld electronic device.
