Abstract
A drawer fastening device is disposed on a drawer. The drawer fastening device has a lock device, a connection plate, a slide plate, a plurality of hooking plates, a plurality of pivot pins, and a positioning frame. The positioning frame has a plurality of slide slots and a plurality of enlarged holes. The slide plate has an upper end groove and a plurality of through holes. Each hooking plate has an upper distal hook and a lower blocking bar. Each pivot pin fastens the positioning frame, the hooking plate and the slide plate together. The lock device has a positioning seat, a driven plate connected to the positioning seat, and a mount connected to the driven plate. The connection plate is fastened in the mount pivotally and the connection plate is connected to the driven plate. The slide plate is connected to the connection plate.
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a drawer fastening device. More particularly, the present invention relates to a drawer fastening device which can lock a drawer even if the drawer is not closed.
Referring to
FIG. 1
, a conventional drawer fastening device is disposed on a drawer
1
. The conventional drawer fastening device has a lock device
2
and a core device
21
engaging with the lock device
2
. The drawer
1
has a blocking bar
11
. A slide plate
22
has a stop plate
222
and an oblong slot
221
to receive the core device
21
. When the drawer
1
is closed and locked, the blocking bar
11
blocks the stop plate
222
. However, the drawer
1
cannot be locked if the drawer
1
is not closed.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
An object of the present invention is to provide a drawer fastening device which can lock a drawer even if the drawer is not closed.
Accordingly, a drawer fastening device is disposed on a drawer having a plurality of insertion grooves. The drawer fastening device comprises a lock device disposed on a top portion of the drawer, a connection plate, a slide plate, a plurality of hooking plates, a plurality of pivot pins, and a positioning frame disposed on the drawer. The positioning frame has a plurality of slide slots and a plurality of enlarged holes. Each slide slot communicates with one of the enlarged holes. The slide plate has an upper end groove and a plurality of through holes. Each hooking plate has an upper distal hook and a lower blocking bar. Each pivot pin fastens the positioning frame, the corresponding hooking plate and the slide plate together through one of the enlarged holes of the positioning frame and one of the through holes of the slide plate. The lock device has a positioning seat, a driven plate connected to the positioning seat, and a mount connected to the driven plate. The positioning seat has a hooking portion. The driven plate has a distal notch. The connection plate is fastened in the mount pivotally and the connection plate is connected to the driven plate. The slide plate is connected to the connection plate.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Referring to
FIGS. 2
to
6
, a drawer fastening device is disposed on a drawer
4
which has a plurality of insertion grooves
41
. The drawer fastening device comprises a lock device
5
disposed on a top portion of the drawer
4
, a connection plate
3
, a slide plate
7
, a plurality of hooking plates
8
, a plurality of pivot pins
73
, and a positioning frame
6
disposed on the drawer
4
.
The positioning frame
6
has a plurality of slide slots
61
and a plurality of enlarged holes
62
. Each slide slot
61
communicates with one of the enlarged holes
62
.
The slide plate
7
has an upper end groove
71
and a plurality of through holes
72
.
Each hooking plate
8
has an upper distal hook
81
and a lower blocking bar
82
.
Each pivot pin
73
fastens the positioning frame
6
, the corresponding hooking plate
8
and the slide plate
7
together through one of the enlarged holes
62
of the positioning frame
6
and one of the through holes
72
of the slide plate
7
.
The lock device
5
has a positioning seat
50
, a driven plate
51
connected to the positioning seat
50
, and a mount
9
connected to the driven plate
51
.
The mount
9
has a hollow interior
91
.
A post
52
is disposed on the driven plate
51
.
A spring
54
is connected to the post
52
.
The positioning seat
50
has a hooking portion
53
engaging with an end of the spring
54
.
The driven plate
51
has a distal notch
511
.
The connection plate
3
is fastened in the mount
9
pivotally and the connection plate
3
is connected to the driven plate
51
.
The slide plate
7
is connected to the connection plate
3
.
When the lock device
5
is operated, the driven plate
51
will move forward and rearward.
Referring to
FIG. 5
again, each upper distal hook
81
is inserted in the corresponding insertion grooves
41
of the drawer
4
.
Referring to
FIG. 6
again, each upper distal hook
81
