  • the end portion of the hook of the second drawer is in the recess 50 formed in the folded bar 48 as well as the end portion of the hook 36 of the first drawer 4a. Both hooks simply engage the same folded bar 48 at different altitudes.
  • the primary actuator 64 is not used for closing and automatically locking any drawer 4a-4f in its closed position.
  • Opening at least one of the drawers 4a-4f, for instance the first drawer 4a, can be carried out by means of the primary actuator 64 as follows.
  • the radio communication interface 70 can receive a radio signal emitted by a chip card or a mobile terminal held by a user, wherein the radio signal is designed to trigger such opening.
  • the radio signal is then transmitted by the radio communication interface 70 to the controller.
  • the controller operates the primary actuator 64 so as to slide the pen 68 towards the primary support 58 of the folded bar 48 relative to the body 66.
  • the sliding pen 68 pushes the primary support 58 such that the second locking element 34 is moved from the engaged position into the disengaged position.
  • the hook 36 is moved out of the recess 50 formed by the folded bar 48, and the resilient member 62 stretches.
  • the engaging surface 56 of the folded bar 48 does not face anymore the engaging surface 44 of any hook mounted on a drawer, especially the hook 36 mounted on the first drawer 4a.
  • the primary actuator 64 maintains the second locking member 34 in the disengaged position for a period of predetermined duration.
  • This predetermined duration can be programmed in the controller by means of a timer. This duration preferably depends on the number of drawers 4a-4f of the cabinet 1. This duration is for instance equal to kT, wherein k is the number of drawers, and T is greater than 5 seconds.
  • the predetermined duration can be set by a user by means of an appropriate configuration signal received by the radio communication interface 70 and transmitted to the controller.
  • the user can pull the first drawer 4a or any other drawer 4b-4f from the closed position to the opened position.
  • the actuator ceases to maintain the second locking member 34 in the disengaged position.
  • the resilient member 62 causes the second locking member 34 to pivot into the engaged position.
  • the second locking element 34 pivots into the engaged position while the hook 36 is outside the recess 50 formed in the folded bar 48. Therefore, the drawer 4a can slide in the sliding direction towards the opened position or the closed position.
  • Opening the first drawer 4a can be also carried out by means of the secondary actuator 65 as follows.
  • a user inserts a key in the rotor of key lock 74.
  • the eccentric pin 76 moves as well around the rotation axis of the rotor and pushes the secondary support 60, such that the second locking element 34 is moved from its engaged position into the disengaged position.
  • the hook 36 is moved out of the recess 50 formed by the folded bar 48, and the resilient member 62 stretches.
  • the engaging surface 56 of the folded bar 48 does not face anymore the engaging surface 44 of the hook 36.
  • the user can pull the first drawer 4a or any other drawer 4b-4f towards in its opened position.
  • This secondary actuator 65 can be advantageously used instead of the primary actuator 64, if the primary actuator 64 does not work properly (because of an internal failure or if the power supply 72 runs out of power).
