A security device includes a case for retaining an information storage device in the space between a front case and a rear case, plurality of locking sleeves protruding from the front case and the rear case, the locking sleeves is formed to engage each other in the manner that the holes of the locking sleeves are aligned in a closed position of the case, and a locking mechanism for latching the case, the locking mechanism inserted into the aligned holes of said locking sleeves in closed position of the case. The locking mechanism includes a housing, a hook which is selectively locked to the protrusion formed on the locking sleeve and released from it by extruding from the case and pulling back into the case, a moving member which is mounted on the slope and moves up and down the slope by magnetic force, while contacting with the side surface of the hook. The hook moves to the locking position or releasing position as the moving member goes up and down the slope.

1. A security device comprising:a case having a front case and a rear case which are combined to be opened and closed, said front case and said rear case defining an interior volume for retaining an information storage media; plurality of locking sleeves protruding from said front case and said rear case, said locking sleeves formed to engage each other in the manner that the holes of said locking sleeves are aligned in a closed position of said case; and a locking mechanism for latching said case, said locking mechanism inserted into the aligned holes of said locking sleeves in closed position of said case, and said locking mechanism including; a housing, a hook selectively locking to a protrusion formed on one of the locking sleeves by emerging from said housing and pulling back into said housing, a slope formed on the inner wall of said housing which inclines downward, and a moving member mounted on said slope, said moving member moving up and down along the slope while contacting one side surface of said hook, and said hook moving to the locking position or relieving position as said moving member moving up and down along the slope. 2. The security device of claim 1, wherein said locking mechanism further includes an elastic piece,said elastic piece has a cantilever-like elongated shape along the longitude direction of said housing and one end of said elastic piece is fixed to the inner area of said housing, and said hook is connected at a free end of said elastic piece so that said hook moves to locking position or relieving position, as said elastic piece makes swing motion forcing said moving member, mounted on said slope, to move up and down along the slope while said moving member contacting one side surface of said hook. 3. The security device of claim 2, wherein said locking mechanism further includes a fixing member for fixing said hook in the locking position by being positioned to contact with said hook.4. The security device of claim 3, wherein said fixing member includesa body which is movably installed inside said housing, and the front end of said body selectively contacts with said hook; and a spring which pushes said body toward said hook. 5. The security device of claim 4, wherein said fixing member further includesa movable magnetic body which is located at a latter part of said body of the fixing member, said magnetic body being attracted toward the opposite direction form said hook by magnetic force. 6. The security device of claim 2, wherein said locking mechanism further includesa fixed magnetic body which is located at an end of said housing so as to maintain said locking mechanism in a specific position when said locking mechanism is released. 7. The security device of claim 1, wherein said moving member is a steel ball.8. The security device of claim 1, wherein said protrusion is disposed between two parallel slits formed on any one surface of said locking sleeves, and said protrusion elastically moves orthogonal to a marching direction of said locking mechanism.9. The security device of claim 1 further comprising a decoupler for releasing the locking status of said locking mechanism, and said decoupler comprising:a guiding groove having the width slightly larger than the width of said case, and said guiding groove also having an elongated shape along the longitudinal direction; and a magnet, which is located beneath a lower portion of said guiding groove and when said locking mechanism is engaged to said decoupler, said magnet comes to be located beneath the lower part of said moving member thus attracting said moving member downward. 10. The security device of claim 5 further comprising a decoupler for releasing the locking status of said locking mechanism, and said decoupler comprising:a guiding groove having the width slightly larger than the width of said case, and also having an elongated shape along the longitudinal direction; a first magnet, which is located beneath a lower portion of said guiding groove and when said locking mechanism is engaged to said decoupler, said magnet comes to be located beneath the lower part of said moving member thus attracting said moving member downward; and a second magnet, which comes to be located at the rear of said movable magnetic and attracts said movable magnetic body to the opposite direction form said hook, when said locking mechanism is engaged to said decoupler. 11. The security device of claim 6 further comprising a decoupler for releasing the locking status of said locking mechanism, and said decoupler comprising:a guiding groove having the width slightly larger than the width of said case, and also having an elongated shape along the longitudinal direction; a first magnet, which is located beneath a lower portion of said guiding groove and when said locking mechanism is engaged to said decoupler, said magnet comes to be located beneath the lower part of said moving member thus attracting said moving member downward; and a third magnet, which comes to be located in front of said fixed magnetic body and attracts said fixed magnetic body, when said locking mechanism is engaged to said decoupler, thus maintaining said locking mechanism within said guiding groove. 12. The security device of claim 5, wherein said locking mechanism further includes a fixed magnetic body installed at the front end of said housing.13. The security device of claim 12, wherein said locking mechanism further includes a decoupler for releasing the locking status of said locking mechanism, and said decoupler comprising:a guiding groove having the width slightly larger than the width of said case, and also having an elongated shape along the longitudinal direction; a first magnet, which is located beneath a lower portion of said guiding groove and when said locking mechanism is engaged to said decoupler, said magnet comes to be located beneath the lower part of said moving member thus attracting said moving member downward; a second magnet, which comes to be located rear of said movable magnetic and attracts said movable magnetic body to the opposite direction from said hook, when said locking mechanism is engaged to said decoupler; and, a third magnet, which comes to be located in front of said fixed magnetic body and attracts said fixed magnetic body, when said locking mechanism is engaged to said decoupler, thus maintaining said locking mechanism within said guiding groove.
