ABSTRACT:
A storage device furnished with a safety function includes a housing, a storage cabinet movably supported inside the housing, a biasing device for keeping the storage cabinet biased constantly in an opening direction and a lock device for controlling switching motion of the storage cabinet. The storage cabinet is caused, by the operation of the lock device, to be locked at a shut position thereof inside the housing against the action of the biasing device. By pushing it into the housing, the cabinet is allowed to be released from the locked state at the shut position and automatically moved in the opening direction from an opening part of the housing. The safety function is manifested by providing the storage device with a rotary member, a device for exerting a rotary force on the rotary member in one direction, an inertia follower movable to a waiting position and an operating position, the rotary member and the inertia follower being provided on the housing, and a protuberance provided on the storage cabinet for allowing the rotary member to be rotated in the reverse direction during a release of the storage cabinet from the locked state at the shut position. The inertia follower is moved to the operating position and the rotary member is prevented from rotating in the reverse direction only during the presence of an inertial force.
