Abstract
A floor anchor for a cabinet, particularly for a tool or parts cabinet in a shop or factory, itself anchored to the floor or other superstructure, and providing angularly bent prongs which engage the cabinet by overlying a floor portion of a back end of fork lift channels of the cabinet, the floor portion slid under the prongs. The floor anchor holds a backside of the cabinet down, preventing tipping forwardly of the cabinet when the weight of open drawers cause an overturning condition. The floor anchor also provides a securing strap which prevents the cabinet from becoming disengaged by preventing the cabinet from sliding forwardly with the floor portion retracting out from under the prongs of the floor anchor. The floor anchor provides a system of anchoring tool or parts cabinets which can be quickly disengaged from the anchor for removal and relocation elsewhere in the shop.
