Abstract
An anti-tilt mechanism for a drawer assembly, the drawer assembly being in a rack, is disclosed. The anti-tilt mechanism comprises two railing portions coupled to the rack and two brackets, each of the two brackets respectively coupled to one of the two railing portions. Each of the. two brackets comprises a first planar portion and a second planar portion, the second planar portion coupled to the top of the first planar portion and extending substantially perpendicular to the first planar portion, the second planar portion capable of preventing the drawer assembly from tilting during a slidable operation thereof. The anti-tilt mechanism in accordance with the present invention prevents the drawer assembly from tilting during the slidable operation of the assembly. This is desirable because if tilting occurs during the slidable operation of the assembly, the assembly could be damaged and/or a system operator could be injured.
