Abstract

A stabilizer system for controlling a tipping of a furniture includes at least one stabilizer assembly coupled to a wall and including a telescopic rod configured to telescopically extend and retract and an engagement structure coupled to the telescopic rod, and configured to be arranged in an expanded configuration and a stowed configuration. In the expanded configuration, the engagement structure is arranged to contact the furniture. A plurality of weight sensors is coupled to the furniture and configured to detect a weight imbalance of the furniture. A controller is configured to extend the telescopic rod to engage the at least one stabilizer assembly with the furniture to prevent the tipping of the furniture in response to the detected weight imbalance being above a predefined limit.

Dependent claims

A stabilizer system, comprising:

at least one stabilizer assembly coupled to a wall and including
a telescopic arm configured to telescopically extend and retract and having a first end attached to the wall and a second end arranged distally from the wall, and
an engagement structure coupled to the second end of the telescopic arm and configured to be arranged in an expanded configuration and a stowed configuration and biased to the expanded configuration, wherein in the expanded configuration, the engagement structure is arranged to contact the furniture, and wherein the engagement structure includes an elongated arm rotatably attached to the second end of the telescopic arm and is adapted to move between a first position and a second position and is biased to the first position;
a plurality of weight sensors coupled to the furniture and configured to detect a weight imbalance of the furniture;
and
a controller arranged in communication with the plurality of weight sensors and the at least one stabilizer assembly and configured to extend the telescopic arm to engage the engagement structure with the furniture to prevent the tipping of the furniture in response to the detected weight imbalance being above a predefined limit.
