Abstract: An interlock assembly (20) for two or more horizontally sliding drawers (11, 13) in a cabinet (10) to prevent opening more than one drawer at a time is described. The interlock assembly is characterized by each drawer having rotating cam members (21, 23) with lobes (21A, 23A) and valleys (21B, 23B) which mate with blocks (25, 27, 29, 31) having corresponding lobes (25A, 27A, 29A, 31A) and valleys (25C, 27C, 29C, 31C). When a first cam member (23) is rotated by opening a drawer (13) the lobes (23A) of the cam member (23) engage lobes (29A, 31A) of the corresponding blocks (29, 31) to move the blocks (25, 27, 29, 31 ) and cam member (23) towards the cabinet (10) to provide the interlock for the drawers so that the other drawer (11) can not be opened.

Abstract: A locking clip (20) for a bolt (12a to 12d) securing a desk top (10) and a pedestal (11) as panel members together is described. The clip engages the head (12i) of the bolt which is slid in a slot (11g to 11j) in a cross-member (11f) of the pedestal. The clip provides positive locking to prevent inadvertent separation of the panel members and allows the panel members to be separated by lifting a tab (20g).
