US Patent 11324319 Stabilizers for preventing furniture from tipping

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.
