Abstract: An improved anchor assembly for a multiple drawer locking system having a "C" shaped lock bar with an access slot, the anchor assembly including an anchor having an anchor element for slidably mounting in the lock bar and a mounting device; a multi-faceted locking pin for engaging the mounting device and an indexing plate between the anchor element and the pin and including at least one anti-rotational element extending through the slot into the lock bar to prevent the anchor element from rotating and aligning with the slot; the indexing plate may also include a first indexing device and the locking pin may include a second indexing device for constraining the pin to lock with one of the facets in a predetermined position; the indexing plate may also include at least one gripping edge for gripping the lock bar to prevent sliding of the assembly.

Abstract: A multiple drawer interlocking system includes a plurality of the elongate locking elements; the track for confining the locking elements in string; biasing means for urging the locking elements into a contiguous series with each adjacent pair meeting at a junction; and the plurality of actuator devices each having a first unlocked state and a second locked state; each actuator device including an actuator element and a pair of opposing camming elements engaged with the adjacent ends of a pair of locking elements at a junction; each actuator element in the unlocked state being poised adjacent a junction of the string and in its second locked state being introduced into the associated junction between a pair of the locking elements to drive apart the camming elements and the associated locking elements against the urging of the biasing means to misalign all of the remaining junctions with respect to the remaining actuator devices and prevent the remaining actuator devices from moving into the locked state.
