Abstract
Abstract A mechanism comprising two interlockable pivoting members is installed between two adjacent sliding compartments in such a way that withdrawal of one compartment causes the associated member to pivot and interlock with the other member, thereby securing the latter in a position in which a catch blocks the other compartment and prevents it from being withdrawn simultaneously.
