Patent ID: 8746816

Claim:
An anti-tip assembly for use in a storage unit comprising a plurality of storage compartments in abutting relation, defining a predetermined travel distance, the anti-tip assembly comprising: a base for movement along a track between a first position and a second position, the first and second position defining a separation distance equal to the predetermined travel distance, a follower adjacent the base, for movement along the track between the first position and the second position, a first actuator and a second actuator mounted on the base, operating in synchronized movement in the same direction, between an aligned position and a non-aligned position, in the aligned position, the first and second actuators are in alignment with a common axis, and in the non-aligned position, the first and second actuators each form an acute angle with the common axis, such that when an associated storage compartment is moved from a closed position to an open position, the first and second actuators move to the non-aligned position, and the follower moves from the first position to the second position, across the separation distance, while the base is in the first position, to inhibit opening of the other storage compartments in the storage unit.
