Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention

The present invention generally relates to a laptop lock used for locking a laptop.


2. Description of the Prior Art

Laptop locks are developed to against thieves. Laptop locks can be connected to the lock hole of laptops by a latch unit, wherein a locking operation enables the latch unit to be secured in the lock hole when the latch unit has been connected to the lock hole. An arrangement of the lock hole and a lock connected thereto usually do not interfere with a user's operation and the lock hole is located at a side of a laptop. For example, a lock can approach the lock hole of the laptop located at a back side to let a latch unit thereof enter the lock hole without interfering with the operation of the lock or the laptop. However, since the laptop is getting thinner, the thickness on the side is therefore reduced; meanwhile, the size of the lock may affect the alignment between the latch unit and the lock hole. Consequently, the lock and the laptop may not both rest on a supporting face after the latch unit of the lock is inserted into the lock hole, wherein the back side of the laptop may be raised due to the lock, which may therefore affect the user's operation and the lock's efficacy.

The first support arm 360 includes a lock hole disposed at the end portion of the first support arm 360 and a support arm extending part 366 extends along the direction perpendicular to the long axial direction 141 of the body 100. The fixing device 260 extends from one end of the support arm extending part 366 and can be fixed at one end of the body 100. More specifically, the user can take out the laptop lock 904 firstly, press the control button 160, move the first support arm 360 outwards relative to the end of the body 100 to enable the length of the body 100 and the length of the first support arm 360 extending from the body 100 to be approximately equal to the width of a laptop 800, then the shaft 830 connecting the screen 810 and the keyboard part 820 of the laptop 800 is arranged on the body 100, the screen 810 is lifted, the fixing device 260 extending from one end of the first support arm 360 bypasses the laptop 800 and is fixed at one end of the body 100, and the laptop 800 is positioned between the fixing device 260 and the body 100, thereby completing fixation between the laptop lock 904 and the laptop 800. In this case, a lockset can be locked and attached to the lock hole 110 by the user. Because the lockset is locked and attached to the lock hole 110 of the laptop lock 904 and the material and size of the first support arm 360 of the laptop lock 904 can be changed according to design or usage requirements, a case of inability of locking and attaching caused by limits of the laptop (for example, the lock hole can not be set due to an excessive thin host or insufficient material strength) can be reduced.


As the embodiment shown in FIG. 5F, one end of the body 100 is provided with a clamping component 261, and the fixing device 260 can be fixed at one end of the body 100 by virtue of the clamping component 261. One end of the body 100 is also provided with a clamping component control button 262 for controlling the clamping component 261 to be opened or closed. As the embodiments shown in FIGS. 5G-1 to 5I-2, the fixing device 260 and the clamping component 261 can have different settings according to usage, manufacture, or design requirements. A surface of the body 100 can be partially or completely covered with soft substances such as rubber so as to prevent the laptop 800 from being damaged.
