Interlocking mechanism for a cabinet

A cabinet, comprising:

• a plurality of drawers, each coupled with a sliding mechanism for the respective drawer to be slid between a closed position and an open position;
• and
• an interlocking mechanism which is triggered, by the movement of one of the drawers, to switch between a locked configuration where one of the drawers is in the open position while the remaining drawers are locked in the closed position and an unlocked configuration where any one of the drawers can be moved from the closed position to the open position;
• wherein the interlocking mechanism comprises:
• a locking bar slidably disposed on an inner side wall of the cabinet, having a plurality of spaced protrusions distributed along a length of the locking bar, wherein the locking bar is movable between a locked position and an unlocked position;
• and
• a plurality of rotatable blocks, each block having a first portion pivotably connected to the inner side wall of the cabinet, a second portion engagable by the sliding mechanism of a respective drawer, and a third portion that is engagable with one of the protrusions;
• wherein when one of the drawers is moving towards the open position, the sliding mechanism of that particular drawer engages the second portion of the corresponding rotatable block to cause the third portion of the corresponding rotatable block to engage with the respective protrusions and to move the locking bar to the locked position, the remaining protrusions of the locking bar are also moved to a position that intercept a rotation pathway of the remaining rotatable blocks such that the sliding mechanisms of the remaining drawers are prevented from movement.
