Abstract: A controlled access file cabinet permits an authorized user access only to one file drawer or one locked compartment at a time. The cabinet has at least one pull-out drawer with a lock mechanism that self-locks when the drawer is pushed in and closed, and has an electro-mechanical servo to release the drawer for authorized access. One or more drawers may be divided into a row of locked compartments. Slide bar lock mechanisms interact with with lock pins on hinged lids or covers for the compartments. Only one compartment can be opened at a time. A control board within the cabinet ensures that all drawers are closed and latched before any can be released. The secure cabinet may be connected with a network, or by i2c or daisy chain to other secure file cabinets, including cabinets retro-fitted with a bolt-on lock mechanism. Computer software limits access to certain areas of the cabinet to specific authorized users, and maintains inventory and audit trail over multiple cabinets.

Abstract: A slide rail assembly includes first, second, and third rails slidably connected together, a guiding base on the first rail, a first contact member on the second rail, and a second contact member on the third rail. The first contact member extends through an opening of the second rail and corresponds to the guiding base. When the third rail is pulled out, the second contact member, which corresponds to the first contact member, abuts against the first contact member such that the second rail is displaced with the third rail. Once the first contact member is guided by the guiding base to another position and separates from the second contact member, the third rail can be pulled out relative to the second rail.
