Patent ID: 8201899

Claim:
An immobilizing system for a plurality of stackable modular filing cabinets, each of the stackable modular filing cabinets having a plurality of drawers, each of the stackable modular filing cabinets containing the immobilizing system, each of the stackable modular filing cabinets intercorrelated so that the opening of one of the drawers in one of the stackable modular filing cabinets prevents the rest of the drawers in the one of the stackable modular filing cabinets and each of the drawers in each of the other stackable modular filing cabinets from opening and the immobilizing system of each of the stackable modular filing cabinets comprising: a strip comprising an elongated member having a channel, and first and second strip ends; a movable billet in said channel; immobilization devices for all the drawers; a first mobile blocker comprising a first shaft, and a second mobile blocker comprising a second shaft, the first and second mobile blockers being on the first and second strip ends, respectively; first and second fixed blockers aligned with each of the first and second mobile blockers, the first fixed blocker being crossed by the first shaft, and the second fixed blocker being crossed by the second shaft; the first and second fixed blockers being on the first and second strip ends, respectively; the first shaft of a first stackable modular filing cabinet abuts the second shaft of a second, contiguously stacked modular filing cabinet, so that there is always mechanical continuity between the first and second shafts of contiguous strips corresponding to the first and second modular filing cabinets, of which the first and second shafts meet alignedly abutted, one being supported on the other in continuity with the contiguous strips.
