ABSTRACT:
The cabinet comprises a case carrying a plurality of slidably mounted drawers. At the back of the drawers a latch bar is vertically oriented and pivotal between latch and unlatch positions. The bar has a flange which fits into keeper structure on a clip protruding from each drawer in the latch condition. A camming surface on each clip moves the latch bar to a latch position after one drawer is withdrawn so that none of the other drawers can be withdrawn. As the drawer is closed, another camming surface on the clip moves the latch bar back to an unlatch position. To insure alignment of the last mentioned camming surface with the latch bar, a slot is provided in the clip on each drawer which slot is aligned with an alignment flange attached to the case.
