Abstract An anti-tilt mechanism for a cabinet An anti-tilt mechanism (10) for a cabinet (12). The cabinet (12) including a frame (13) s with a base (14), a top (16) and a plurality of slidable drawers (18) each having a rearwardly mounted bracket (20). The anti-tilt mechanism (10) includes a bar (30) extending between the base (14) and the top (16), a first lever (40) and a tension spring (50). The bar (30) is engageable with the bracket (20) and is adapted to pivot about a longitudinal axis between a first position, allowing one of the drawers (18) to be 10 withdrawn, and a second position preventing any remaining drawer (18) from being withdrawn. The bar (30) pivots responsive to withdrawal or insertion of one of said drawers (18) respectively. The first lever (40) is pivotally connected to the frame (13) and has a first cam surface (42) adapted to drive the bar (30) to the first position, and a second cam surface (44) adapted to drive the bar (30) to the second position. The tension 15 spring (50) extends between the cabinet (12) and the first lever (40), and is adapted to bias the first lever (40) toward the bar (30). The first cam surface (42) abuts the bar (30) drives the bar (30) into the first position, and the second cam surface (44) abuts the bar (30) to drive the bar (30) into the second position. -t 'a LU z < De 00 'U o ,- -- |
