Self-acting device for facilitating preventing product tip over

A device for preventing product tip over, the device comprising:

• an anti-tip mechanism coupled to the product to facilitate preventing tip over thereof when in an extended state, the anti-tip mechanism comprising at least one outwardly-biased outrigger;
• an actuator operatively coupled to the anti-tip mechanism to facilitate transition of the anti-tip mechanism from a retracted state to the extended state;
• and
• an actuator control to signal the actuator to facilitate transition of the anti-tip mechanism from the retracted state to the extended state based on the actuator control detecting movement of the product across a floor, the signal being based on the actuator control detecting rotation of a caster of multiple casters upon which the product rests.

A method of facilitating preventing product tip over, the method comprising:

• coupling an anti-tip mechanism to a product to facilitate preventing tip over of the product, the anti-tip mechanism having a retracted state and an extended state;
• operatively coupling an actuator to the anti-tip mechanism to control transitioning the anti-tip mechanism from the retracted state to the extended state;
• and
• providing an actuator control comprising one or more motion sensors for sensing movement of the product across a floor, the actuator control signaling the actuator to facilitate transition of the anti-tip mechanism from the retracted state to the extended state based on the actuator control detecting movement of the product across the floor.
