  • Patent number: 4047773
    Abstract: The file cabinet securement structure includes a positive combination for eliminating accidents in offices resulting from the careless or negligent opening of file cabinets. This is achieved by arranging a file cabinet or cabinets with respect to a support and providing magnetic securement means therebetween thereby magnetically securing the file cabinet to the support. This is achieved without any mechanical fasteners being employed between the support, magnetic securement means and the file cabinet. The file cabinet has a first position when the drawers are closed with the center of gravity located within the file cabinet. It has a second position when at least one of the drawers is open and where the center of gravity is in a different position resulting in a tipping force producing a first moment about an edge at the bottom of the file cabinet tending to tip over the file cabinet.
