<p>A combined locking and anti-tilt device (1) for a cabinet, and a cabinet including such a locking and anti-tilt device, having a plurality of drawers (3) mounted so as to be slidable out of the cabinet, comprising a guide, and, slidably mounted within the guide, a plurality of block units (7), a part (9) of each block unit (7) projecting to a position engageable by part (5) of an adjacent drawer (3), opening of a drawer (3) causing movement of an adjacent block unit (7) in a direction towards a first end of the guide, the length of the guide within which the block units (7) may slide being limited such that the extent of movement of the block units (7) is limited, and a lock mechanism comprising a locking member (11) movable between a locked position and an unlocked position, is characterised in that the locking mechanism also comprises an elongate locking element (13) extending from the first end of the guide to at least the region of the locking member (11); the locking element (13) is secured to the first block unit (15) closest to the first end of the guide but arranged for relative movement with respect to the other block units (7); and the lock element (13) includes lock engagement means (45) arranged such that in the locked position of the locking member (11), movement of the first block (15) towards the first end of the guide causes the lock engagement means (45) of the lock element (13) to engage against the locking member (11) thus limiting movement of the first block (15). <IMAGE></p> |
