Abstract (en)
An interlock system for an array of retractable storage elements, eg. a filing cabinet, prevents opening of more than one element at a time. The interlock system includes a channel (30) containing spheres (31) which leave only sufficient room in the channel for the entry of only one insert portion (45) on a slide (25) actuated by sliding of the storage element (15). The slide (25) is linked to the storage element (15) via a cam member (23) which can only release the storage element (15) for sliding if the insert portion (45) can enter the channel (30), thereby permitting the slide (25) to move. Since there is room in the channel (30) for only one insert portion (45) at a time, opening of more than one storage element at a time is prevented.
