ABSTRACT:
A pharmaceutical cart for retaining a plurality of dispensing bins on shelves is provided with cooperating horizontal and vertical locking bars to provide easy access to each of the individual bins and a simplified locking mechanism which prevents bins from being removed when in a locked position. The cart is equipped with a plurality of cassettes, each having a pair of spaced-apart parallel shelves, and a plurality of dispensing bins disposed side-by-side on the shelves and slidably removable from the front of the cart. The horizontally extending locking bar, which has an elongated cross section, extends frontally to the lower part of bins on the upper shelf and the upper part of bins on the lower shelf. The locking bar is pivotally attached to the walls of the cassette and may be rotated to a horizontal position for removal of individual ones of the bins. The vertical locking bar is hingedly attached to one side of the cart and in its locking position extends in front of the cassettes to prevent their removal and engages the horizontal locking bar of each of the cassettes to prevent their rotation. In this manner, operation of the vertical locking bar to its locked position locks each of the cassettes and each of the bins individually.
