LOCKING-UNLOCKING MECHANISM FOR DRAWER FURNITURE AND DRAWER FURNITURE EQUIPPED WITH SUCH A MECHANISM.

摘要

The invention relates to a locking/unlocking mechanism for an item of furniture having drawers, of the type in which an internal wall face of the item of furniture carries a slideway (3) orthogonal to the direction of sliding of the drawers and containing a plurality of returned slides (7) in contact with each other, a blocking control cam (23) pushing back the said slides (7) so as to prevent the penetration of locking balls. According to the invention, the said cam (23) acts on a lateral projection (22) of a finger (20) located at one end of the stack of slides (7) in the said slideway (3), the said finger (20) being returned by a spring in the direction of moving-away with respect to the said cam (23), the said cam (23) including a notch (26) which, in the unlocking position, is opposite the said lateral projection (22) of the finger (20).
