A security device includes a case having an outside surface defining an interior volume for retaining merchandise and an access opening for receiving the merchandise into the interior volume; at least one notch opening on the outside surface of the case; and a locking mechanism adapted to removably couple to the case and at least partially block the access opening to maintain the received merchandise in the case when the locking mechanism is coupled to the case. The locking mechanism includes a housing, at least one flange extending from the housing for overlying at least a portion of the outside surface of the case, an actuator adapted to slidably extend longitudinally into the housing, engage the notch and couple the locking mechanism to the case when the actuator is in a first position, and a locking device disposed in the housing for fixing the actuator in place when the actuator is in the first position. The security device also includes a separate decoupling element adapted to operatively engage the locking mechanism and release the actuator from the first position.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A security device comprising:a case having an outside surface defining an interior volume for retaining merchandise and an access opening for receiving the merchandise into the interior volume;at least one notch opening on the outside surface of the case;a locking mechanism adapted to removably couple to the case and at least partially block the access opening to maintain the received merchandise in the case when the locking mechanism is coupled to the case, the locking mechanism including:a housing,at least one flange extending from the housing for overlying at least a portion of the outside surface of the case,an actuator adapted to slidably extend longitudinally into the housing, engage the notch and couple the locking mechanism to the case when the actuator is in a first position, anda locking device disposed in the housing for fixing the actuator in place when the actuator is in the first position; andthe security device further comprising a separate decoupling element adapted to operatively engage the locking mechanism and release the actuator from the first position. [17.] A locking mechanism for removably coupling to a case, the case having an outside surface defining an interior volume for retaining merchandise within the case, an access opening for receiving the merchandise into the interior volume, and at least one notch opening on the outside surface of the case, the locking mechanism including:a housing;at least one flange extending from the housing for overlying at least a portion of the outside surface of the case;an actuator adapted to slidably extend longitudinally into the housing, engage the notch and couple the locking mechanism to the case when the actuator is in a first position, the actuator being inseparable from the housing; anda locking device disposed in the housing for fixing the actuator in place when the actuator is in the first position. The locking mechanism of claim 17, wherein the case includes two substantially oppositely disposed notches on the outside surface of the case, the locking mechanism further comprising:a fixed protrusion at one end of the housing; anda movable protrusion on the actuator,the fixed protrusion engaging one notch and the movable protrusion engaging the other notch to couple the locking mechanism to the case when the actuator is in the first position. The locking mechanism of claim 18, wherein the locking mechanism includes a flange adapted to overly one portion of the outside surface of the case and another flange adapted to overly another portion of the outside surface of the case when the locking device is coupled to the case. [31.] A security device comprising:a case having an outside surface defining an interior volume for retaining a package of merchandise and an access opening for receiving the package into the interior volume;at least one notch opening on the outside surface of the case; anda locking mechanism adapted to removably couple to the case and at least partially block the access opening to maintain the package in the case when the locking mechanism is coupled to the case, the locking mechanism including:a housing,at least one flange extending from the housing for overlying at least a portion of the outside surface of the case,an actuator adapted to slidably extend longitudinally into the housing, engage the notch and couple the locking mechanism to the case when the actuator is in a first position, the actuator being inseparable from the housing; anda locking device disposed in the housing for fixing the actuator in place when the actuator is in the first position. [51.] A security device comprising:a case having an outside surface defining an interior volume for retaining a package of merchandise and an access opening for receiving the package into the interior volume;a base portion extending from the outside surface of the case and including at least one notch; anda locking mechanism adapted to removably couple to the case and at least partially block the access opening to maintain the package in the case when the locking mechanism is coupled to the case, the locking mechanism including:a housing,at least one flange extending from the housing for overlying at least a portion of the outside surface of the case,an actuator adapted to slidably extend longitudinally into the housing, engage the notch and couple the locking mechanism to the case when the actuator is in a first position, anda locking device disposed in the housing for fixing the actuator in place when the actuator is in the first position. [82.] A plurality of security devices, each security device comprising:a case having an outside surface defining an outside width and an interior volume for retaining merchandise, the case further having an access opening for receiving the merchandise into the interior volume;at least one notch opening on the outside surface of the case;a locking mechanism adapted to removably couple to the case and at least partially block the access opening to maintain the received merchandise in the case when the locking mechanism is coupled to the case, the locking mechanism including:a housing having a width corresponding to the width of the case,at least one flange extending from the housing for overlying at least a portion of the outside surface of the case,an actuator having an arm portion adapted to slidably extend longitudinally into the housing and including at least one seat, the actuator adapted to engage the notch and couple the locking mechanism to the case when the actuator is in a first position, anda locking device disposed in the housing for fixing the actuator in place when the actuator is in the first position, the locking device including at least one magnetically attractable pin disposed within the housing, the pin being springingly biased towards, and positioned relative to, the arm portion such that the pin engages the seat portion when the actuator is in the first position and prevents the actuator from sliding out of the first position.
