Abstract

A universal computer power switch lockout apparatus for permanent restrained affixation upon the exterior surface of the cabinetry of an office computer. The apparatus is positioned at a location immediately adjacent to the computer's on-off switch assembly field without penetrating the cabinetry upon installation thereof, to preclude access, as desired, to the computer's power switch, to in turn prevent unauthorized operation of the computer. A combination of flange members emanate from a mounting bracket which is positioned and adhesively affixed to the computer cabinetry surface surrounding the computer's power switch assembly field. A lockable switch enclosure is telescopically and slidingly mated with the mounting bracket to alternatively provide or restrict access to the computer's power switch enclosed thereunder. In one embodiment, an extension portion of the switch enclosure further covers a portion of the rear panel of the computer cabinet to preclude access to cabinet fastener screws and to block access to the computer's rearwardly positioned expansion modules.
