Abstract
Self-acting devices and methods are provided for facilitating preventing product tip over. The self-acting device includes an anti-tip mechanism associated with a product to facilitate preventing tip over of the product when in an extended state. Further, the device includes an actuator associated with the product. The actuator is operatively coupled to facilitate transition of the anti-tip mechanism from a retracted state to the extended state. Further, an actuator control is provided to signal the actuator to facilitate transitioning the anti-tip mechanism from the retracted state to the extended state based on the actuator control detecting movement of the product across a floor.
