Patent ID: 8096153

Claim:
A method for constructing an apparatus for securing equipment at a workstation, the method comprising: providing a malleable member; forming the member into an apparatus comprising a formed shape by bending the member such that a first portion of the apparatus may be passed through a hole in a surface of the workstation, while preventing a second portion of the apparatus from being passed through the hole, wherein ends of the member are contained in the first portion, wherein the member comprises a piece of metal or metal alloy that is sufficiently rigid so as to not be easily bent by hand more than one (1) inch from the formed shape while being sufficiently elastic and resilient so as to return to the formed shape when bent less than one (1) inch, and wherein the workstation comprises a desk; forming a loop in at least one end of the member by bending the member, wherein the loop may be passed through the hole, and wherein a security cable may be passed through the loop; and providing the security cable, wherein the security cable is adapted to pass through the loop in the at least one end of the member, and wherein the security cable has a loop at one end for receiving another end of the security cable having a lock adapted to secure the equipment.
