Anti-tipover and seismic securement system

摘要

A tipover prevention and seismic securement system for securing furniture and appliances from tipping over. The system employs a pair of identical mounts which are engaged to surfaces of the device to be secured and the securing position. A planar belt having apertures therein provides a tether between the two mounts through an engagement with projections on the mounts and apertures in the belt. Translating members secure the belt in its engagement to the mounts. The translating members once engaged must be unlocked to allow removal thereof and subsequent removal of the belt.
