  • Patent number: 4121878
    Abstract: A resilient restraining member for use with a cabinet having a drawer. The cabinet includes a rail integral with the drawer, a run secured to the cabinet and transport means secured to the drawer. The resilient restraining member has a first spring portion at one end adapted to be attached to the run and a second spring portion at the other end adapted to normally extend into the run. The transport means is disposed to travel along the run and to urge the second spring portion out of its path of travel as the drawer is moved toward a closed position. The second spring portion thereafter returns to its normal position extending into the run to cooperate with the transport means to releasably retain the drawer in the closed position. The transport means again is disposed to travel along the run and to urge the second spring portion out of its path of travel as the drawer is later moved toward an open position.
