A filing cabinet is equipped with a safety device to prevent more than one drawer being withdrawn at any one time, so that the filing cabinet is less likely to topple. Each drawer is mounted on conventional runners 6 and is provided with a profiled strip 7 and a block 8 at one side. A bar 12 is vertically slidable within a recess 10 in one side 11 of the housing, and a respective peg 13 projects from the bar 12 adjacent the mouth of the passage 9 defined between each profiled strip 7 and the adjacent block 8. As one drawer is withdrawn from the housing, the engagement of the profiled strip 7 of that drawer with the adjoining peg 13 will cause the peg 13 and bar 12 to rise, thereby bringing the remaining pegs 13 in front of their associated blocks 8. The remaining drawers can therefore not be withdrawn from the housing. <IMAGE> |
