A drawer interlock employs a ribbon stop member positioned on the inside of a cabinet and extending along the cabinet in a slack fashion adjacent a plurality of cam members positioned on the cabinet to be actuated by an associated catch member positioned on each of a plurality of drawers. As a drawer is extended from the cabinet, the camming member associated with the drawer is rotated to allow the passage of the catch thereby, while simultaneously engaging the ribbon to take up the slack in the ribbon such that no additional cams can fully rotate to allow the opening of associated drawers. When the drawer is closed, the drawer catch rotates the cam as it passes returning the stop member to the slack condition so that another or the same drawer can be opened. |
