  • Publication number: 20240401872
    Abstract: An anti-tip device for an appliance has a base leg of a given length, and a plurality of holes formed in the base leg for facilitating mounting of the anti-tip device to a wall by way of threaded fasteners. First and second tip prevention legs extend forward from opposite ends of the base leg so as to overlie a top wall of the refrigeration appliance when the anti-tip device is mounted to a wall against which the refrigeration appliance is located. The tip prevention legs are spaced a sufficient distance apart so as to only engage the top wall of the refrigeration appliance in areas where contact is acceptable, while also avoiding any interference with refrigeration appliance components that are located atop the refrigeration appliance.
