ABSTRACT:
A freestanding appliance cabinet of the type having a door hinged to swing outwardly to provide access to the inside of the cabinet has an anti-tip member supported within the cabinet for movement of the cabinet to a tip-preventing position. The anti-tip member is interconnected with the door so that it is moved outwardly to its tip-preventing position when the door is open. The anti-tip member is adapted to provide support to the cabinet whereby tipping of the cabinet in a forwardly direction in response to force exerted downwardly on the open door surface is prevented. The anti-tip member has means operable to lock the member to the cabinet in the event that a tipping force is exerted on some part of the cabinet other than the door to further prevent tilting of the cabinet.
