Cabinet drawer drivingly connected locking mechanism

Abstract

A cabinet drawer drivingly connected locking mechanism which can be synchronously driven along by the opening and closing operation of the top cover of the cabinet body to complete the locking and unlocking state of cabinet drawers, including a sliding seat, an engaging body having an engaging hole and an elastic element, when the top cover is pressed on the engaging body, an anchoring hole of the engaging body will press against the elastic element causing it to bend and store elasticity, the engaging hole will be moved downwards to engage with the locking element so as to complete the locking state of the drawer, when the top cover is opened, the depressing force of the engaging body is released, the restored elasticity of the elastic element is released and carries the engaging body and the engaging hole to move upwards back to its original position, thus unlocked the drawer.

1 . A cabinet drawer drivingly connected locking mechanism, characterized in: 
 a cabinet body having an upper open side and a lateral open side, a top cover arranged on the upper open side, at least one partition arranged in the cabinet body to form at least one compartment, at least one drawable and slidable drawer arranged in the lateral open side, and at least one locking element disposed on each drawer at the side which is corresponding to the inside edge of the lateral open side when the drawer is drawn in;    at least one locking mechanism having a sliding seat which is fixedly arranged in the cabinet body correspondingly located at the opening and closing driving position of the top cover, an engaging body located on the sliding seat, wherein the engaging body can be driven by the opening and closing operation of the top cover to move vertically along the sliding seat and the engaging body includes an engaging hole corresponding to the locking element of the drawer, an anchoring hole, and an elastic element having one end secured by the anchoring hole and the other end connected to the partition; and    when the top cover is pressed on the engaging body, the anchoring hole of the engaging body will press against the elastic element causing it to bend and store elasticity, the engaging hole will then be moved downwards to engage with the locking element so as to complete the locking state of the drawer, when the top cover is opened, the depressing force of the engaging body is released, the restored elasticity of the elastic element is released and carries the engaging body and the engaging hole to move upwards back to its original position, thus unlocked the drawer.    
   
   
       2 . The cabinet drawer drivingly connected locking mechanism according to  claim 1 , wherein the top of the engaging body has a protecting cap.  
   
   
       3 . The cabinet drawer drivingly connected locking mechanism according to  claim 1 , wherein one end of the locking element corresponding to the engaging hole is bent towards the drawer in an inclination angle to form an engaging end, such inclination angle of the engaging end has to allow the locking element and the engaging end to freely get into and out of the engaging hole when the drawer is at an unlocked state and when the drawer is at a locked state, the engaging end cannot freely get into and out of the engaging hole.  
   
   
       4 . The cabinet drawer drivingly connected locking mechanism according to  claim 3 , wherein the inclination angle of the engaging end is an acute angle.
