ABSTRACT:
An interlock assembly (20) for two or more horizontally sliding drawers (11, 12) in a cabinet (10) to prevent opening more than one drawer at a time is described. The interlock assembly is characterized by each drawer having rotating cam members (22, 23) with lobes (23a and 23b) and valleys (23c and 23d) which mate with corresponding lobes (26a, 27a) and valleys (26c, 27c) in blocks (26 and 27). When the cam member (23) is rotated the lobes (23a, 23b) and (23c and 23d) engage lobes (26a and 27a) of the blocks (26 and 27) to move the blocks and cam members as a train so as to engage the cabinet (10) to provide the interlock of the drawers.
