In-rail anti-tip bracket for mobile storage systems

A mobile storage system, comprising:

• a channel member including a bottom wall, a pair of spaced side walls that are perpendicular to the bottom wall and engagement lips each extending laterally inward from the side walls and each engagement lip having an inner edge, wherein the inner edges of the engagement lips are spaced from each other to define an open channel;
• a carriage movable along a length of the channel member;
• and
• an anti-tip assembly mounted to the carriage, the anti-tip assembly comprising:
• a first mounting bracket securely mounted to the carriage;
• a first engagement bracket including a first hook, the first engagement bracket being laterally movable relative to the first mounting bracket;
• a second mounting bracket securely mounted to the movable carriage;
• a second engagement bracket including a second hook, the second engagement bracket being laterally movable relative to the second mounting bracket,
• wherein the first and second hooks are positioned beneath the engagement lips of the channel member when the carriage is positioned for movement along the channel member,
• wherein the first and second engagement brackets each include a movement slot that receives a guide feature extending from each of the first and second mounting brackets, wherein the interaction between the movement slots and the guide features limits the lateral movement of the first and second engagement brackets.
