ABSTRACT:
A coupling member is disclosed for connecting together adjacent hanging file folders. An elongate member includes a flat surface for attachment to a folder. A longitudinally formed slot is formed along the full length of the elongate member and positioned to receive the lip of the opening of an adjacent folder. In a preferred embodiment, the slot is defined by two spaced-apart surfaces which extend into the interior region of the elongate member. The interior region may be solid or may be partially or fully hollow. The elongate member has any one of a number of cross-sectional profiles, including semi-circular, rectilinear, triangular and concave shaped profiles. In another embodiment of the present invention, the coupling member is integrally formed with a hanging file folder. In a preferred variation, the coupling member is formed with hanging means such as tangs to assist in hanging the folder.
