ABSTRACT:
Mobile storage cabinets which are "slide-by" cabinets, that is, the cabinets ride on a carriage in a longitudinal direction on a cabinet track to allow access to the contents of a posterior cabinet. The top surface of the posterior cabinet includes an anti-tip track which is substantially parallel to the cabinet track. The anti-tip track has a cylindrical groove with a longitudinally extending top opening which forms a slot. A football-shaped is captured in the groove to form a journaled follower which optionally includes roller bearing surfaces, vertical link extends through the slot and is joined at a fixed angle to a horizontal link which is pivotally joined to a bracket member attached to the back surface of a front cabinet. The bracket extends beyond the top of the cabinet. If multiple rows of cabinets are used, the anti-tip assemblies for the cabinets of each row are stepped so that they clear the top of posterior cabinets.
