Abstract

A cabinet drawer locking device including a cabinet body, at least one drawer disposed in the cabinet body, a slide seat arranged on the cabinet body, an engaging body slidably disposed on the slides seat, a latch plate mounted on the drawer and a damper unit. The engaging body is formed with an engaging hole corresponding to the latch plate. The damper unit includes a shifting section, a forcing section, a first slide section and a second slide section. The forcing section serves to drive the shifting section. The first slide section is disposed on the shifting section and the second slide section is disposed on the engaging body corresponding to the first slide section. The first and second slide sections are relatively movably connected with each other, whereby the shifting section can drive the engaging body to slide between the first and second positions. When the engaging body is positioned in the second position, the stop section can push the engaging body to the first position and pass through the engaging hole and then the engaging body will naturally drop down to the second position.
