BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to a wall-mounted file holder, and more particularly, it relates to a transparent pocket for a file and a means for attaching that pocket to a vertical wall.
2. Description of the Related Art
The only known related art is a spring-loaded clip for suspending a paper from the clip and attaching it to a wall via a pair of spaced prongs integral with the back of the clip.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to a transparent bolder for a file folder and the combination of that file holder and a hook-shaped hanger for the file holder that is attachable to a vertical wall. The hook-shaped hanger is attachable to the wall by means of two parallel spaced prongs projecting outwardly and downwardly from the back of the hanger. The lower front portion of the hanger is hook-shaped to receive a slotted opening formed in an upper flap of a transparent plastic envelope that serves as a file holder in this invention. The invention includes as one embodiment the combination of one hook-shaped hanger from which there is suspended a single plastic envelope; and a second embodiment which is the combination of two hook-shaped hangers and a large expandable plastic envelope of several compartments that may hold several file folders, the two hangers being widely separated and the large envelope being suspended from two slots designed to accept a hook-shaped hanger in each slot. A specific improvement feature of each hanger is found in the design of each hook to include a sharp ridge or shoulder on the outside lower surface of each hook positioned such that the slot for each envelope will slightly deform and just pass over the ridge on the hook, in a snap lock manner, before reaching its final hanging position; and the ridge will serve to prevent the envelope from sliding off the hook when a file is removed from the envelope.
