Abrégé

Support hinge for a piece of furniture includes a mounting plate attachable to an underside of a bottom drawer of the piece of furniture, and a support plate hingedly connected to the mounting plate to enable the support plate to open rearward to an angle of greater than 90 degrees relative to the mounting plate. The support plate is biased into the open state and includes a drawer support portion that preferably contacts the underside of the bottom drawer when the support plate is in the open state. When the bottom drawer is open, the support plate is just above the floor below the piece of furniture and when a weight-derived force is exerted against the bottom drawer, the support plate is moved against the floor and in such a position, acts as a post to prevent forward tipping of the furniture beyond a nominal amount.

Stabilizer for a piece of furniture, such as a dresser or television, includes an elongate preferably rigid portion having opposed ends, two plates each having an inner major surface and an outer planar surface on a side opposite the inner major surface, a respective hinge that pivotally connects each end of the elongate portion to the inner major surface of a respective plate, and attachment structure arranged at least partly on the outer planar surface of each plate for attaching the plate to the piece of furniture or to a vertical support surface behind the piece of furniture. When the stabilizer is attached to the piece of furniture at a location above the location at which the stabilizer is attached to the vertical support surface and the stabilizer is in a vertical orientation, the stabilizer provides resistance to tipping of the piece of furniture away from the vertical support surface.

Dresser (100) includes a frame (138) having a wall section forming a rear wall (132), and an upper panel (150) that covers an accessible space (156). A bracket (110) is designed for attachment to a vertical support (104), a first connector such as a buckle (116) is attached to the bracket (110), a second connector such as a catch (126) is attached to the frame (138) in a position to be in the space (156) and removably engages with the first connector (116) when present in the space (156) under the upper panel (150). The first and/or second connector (116, 126) is/are length adjustable relative to its supporting structure, i.e., relative to the bracket (110) in the case of the first connector (116) or relative to the frame (138) in the case of the second connector (126) to enable a distance between the frame(138) and the vertical support (104) to be reduced. A reduction in distance between the frame (138) and the vertical support (104) and engagement between the first and second connectors (116, 126) prevents tipping of the dresser (100).

Abrégé

Stabilizer that provides tip resistance to a piece of furniture against a wall includes a first plate, a second plate, and a limited expansion assembly between inner sides of the first and second plates and having a collapsed state providing the stabilizer with its smallest thickness between outer sides of the first and second plates and a fully expanded state in which the stabilizer has its largest thickness between outer sides of the first and second plates. When the first plate is attached to the wall and the second plate is attached to the piece of furniture, movement of the piece of furniture away from the wall is prevented once the expansion assembly has attained its fully expanded state.

Dresser includes a frame having a front, a drawer slidable into and out of the frame, and a drawer retention mechanism between each side wall of the drawer and the frame alongside the side wall. The retention mechanism includes a track on the side wall defined between upper and lower parts, and a rail on the drawer movable in the track. A first stop is on the upper part and a second stop is on the drawer. The first and second stops are positioned to cause contact of a front surface of the second stop and rear surface of the first stop to prevent sliding of the drawer out of the frame and such that an angled rear surface of the second stop comes into contact with and slides over an angled front surface of the first stop during insertion of the drawer.

A piece of furniture includes a frame and drawers that move forward and backward between a position in which an interior space of the drawer is inaccessible and a position at least partly out of the frame in which the interior space of the drawer is accessible. A bottom front region of a lower section is more forward from a central vertical plane of the frame than a top front region of an upper section, and the lower section can have a greater front to back distance than the upper section. When the frame is in contact with a horizontal surface and the drawer is open, tipping of the frame from its position on the horizontal surface as a result of downward pressure exerted on the drawer is reduced by the lower section of the frame having the greater front to back distance than the upper section.

Piece of furniture including a frame and drawers. Each drawer includes a front panel which is a forwardmost, exposed surface of the drawer and the piece of furniture and moves together with a remaining portion of the drawer forward and backward between a first position in which an interior space of the drawer is inaccessible and a second position at least partly out of the frame in which the interior space of the drawer is accessible. The frame includes an upper section and a lower section having a greater front to back distance than the upper section. When the frame is on a horizontal surface and any drawer is in the second position, tipping of the frame as a result of downward pressure exerted on any drawer is reduced by the lower section of the frame having the greater front to back distance than the upper section.
