File cabinet securement structure

The combination of a support, a file cabinet with a plurality of drawers therein, each drawer being extendable in a first direction, and magnetic securement means interposed between and magnetically secured to opposing surfaces of said support and said file cabinet, said magnetic securement means being secured to said support and to said cabinet solely by magnetic attraction and without any mechanical fasteners therebetween so as to normally prevent relative motion in any direction between said opposing surfaces, said magentic securement means including a plurality of thin, flexible magnetic pads of generally uniform thickness, said pads containing finely divided magnetic particles united by a flexible finder, said file cabinet having a first position when the drawers are closed with the center of gravity located within said file cabinet having a second position when at least one of the drawers is extended in said first direction to an open position where the center of gravity is in a different position resulting in a tipping force producing a first moment about an edge at the bottom of the file cabinet tending to tip the file cabinet, said magnetic pads when said file cabinet is at said second position providing a counter force producing a second moment at said edge at the bottom of the file cabinet at least equal to said first moment and in an opposite direction thereby preventing said file cabinet from tipping.
