Touch latch drawer assemblies with unintentional anti-unlatching capability

A touch latch drawer assembly having unintentional anti-unlatching capability comprising:

• a drawer frame defining a front edge;
• a front panel defining a latch activation gap with the front edge of the drawer frame;
• an inner drawer mounted for movements relative to the drawer frame between open and closed conditions and being operatively associated with the front panel to allow the inner drawer to be moved independently towards and away from the front panel in inboard and outboard directions, respectively;
• a touch latch bridging the activation gap so as to operatively interconnect the front panel and the drawer frame to retain the inner drawer in the closed condition when in a latched state thereof and allow the inner drawer to be moved into the open condition when in an unlatched state thereof in response to a manual force applied to the front panel in the outboard direction which closes the latch activation gap;
• and
• a stop engageable with the inner drawer to maintain the latch activation gap between the front panel and the front edge of the drawer frame to thereby prevent the front panel from being moved in the outboard direction by an inertial outboard force of the inner drawer to thereby in turn prevent the touch latch from being moved unintentionally into the unlatched state thereof.
