ABSTRACT:
An anti-tip device is provided for use in cabinets having two or more drawers, for preventing more than one drawer from being opened simultaneously, thereby reducing the likelihood of the cabinet tipping over due to the force of multiple open drawers. The device comprises a series of bars and pivot members disposed within a vertical channel. The pivoting of one of the pivot members to its open position prevents the pivoting of members both above and below the open member. The pivot members engage the drawers of the cabinet such that a drawer may only be opened when its associated pivot member is pivotable to its open position.
