Overturn preventing device

Abstract

Providing an overturn preventing device which is easy in handling such as carrying. The overturn preventing device includes a damper, a first base portion, a second base portion and a connecting tool. The damper is mounted between a top surface of furniture and a ceiling. An expansion force of compressed gas filling a cylinder is applied to the damper in a direction such that a length of the damper is increased. The first base portion is rotatably connected to one of two ends of the damper and has a first abutting surface which abuts against the top surface of the furniture. The second base portion is rotatably connected to the other end of the damper and has a second abutting surface which abuts against the ceiling. The connecting tool maintains a folded state in which the damper is contracted so that the first base portion and the second base portion come close to each other.

1 . An overturn preventing device comprising:
 an overturn preventing tool mounted between an article installed on an installation surface and a ceiling, a wall surface extending in a vertical direction from the installation surface or the installation surface, a force being applied to the overturn preventing tool in a direction such that a length thereof is increased;   a first base portion rotatably connected to one of two ends of the overturn preventing tool and having a first abutting surface which abuts against the article;   a second base portion rotatably connected to the other end of the overturn preventing tool and having a second abutting surface which abuts against the ceiling, the wall surface or the installation surface; and   a connecting tool maintaining a folded state in which the overturn preventing tool is contracted so that the first base portion and the second base portion come close to each other.   
     
     
         2 . The overturn preventing device according to  claim 1 , further comprising an angle regulating member which regulates the overturn preventing tool so that the overturn preventing tool makes a predetermined angle with respect to the first abutting surface of the first base portion and the second abutting surface of the second base portion under a condition where the overturn preventing tool has been released from holding of the folded state by the connecting tool. 
     
     
         3 . The overturn preventing device according to  claim 1 , further comprising a distance regulating member which regulates the overturn preventing tool so that the first and second base portions are away from each other by a predetermined distance when the overturn preventing tool has extended.
