Abstract
The system includes an elongated latching bar located behind the drawers and rotatable between latching and unlatching positions. A spring biases the latching bar to its latching position. A latching clip is mounted on each drawer and has a cam for engaging the latching bar and causing rotation thereof to its unlatching position as the drawer is closed. The latching clip has a keeper for receiving the latching bar as it rotates back to its latching position.
