MULTIPLE DRAWER INTERLOCKING SYSTEM

摘要

A multiple drawer interlocking system includes a plurality of the elongate locking elements; the track for confining the locking elements in string; biasing means for urging the locking elements into a contiguous series with each adjacent pair meeting at a junction; and the plurality of actuator devices each having a first unlocked state and a second locked state; each actuator device including an actuator element and a pair of opposing camming elements engaged with the adjacent ends of a pair of locking elements at a junction; each actuator element in the unlocked state being poised adjacent a junction of the string and in its second locked state being introduced into the associated junction between a pair of the locking elements to drive apart the camming elements and the associated locking elements against the urging of the biasing means to misalign all of the remaining junctions with respect to the remaining actuator devices and prevent the remaining actuator devices from moving into the locked state.
