ABSTRACT:
A file position location device and related method are provided. The device permits easy location of the position from where a file has been removed from within a cabinet drawer. The device is easily stored on a metallic surface of the cabinet during non-use. The device has a magnetic substrate layer and a wedge shaped body adhered thereto. The magnetic substrate permits retention of the device on the surface of the cabinet for storage and ready availability when use is desired. The wedge shaped body when positioned between two non-removed files acts to resist downward gravitational forces to maintain the location of the device near the top of the drawer for visibility. The device may optionally have a clip to further ensure that the device is located near the top of the drawer during use and is not unintentionally permitted to move toward the bottom of the drawer out of view of the user. Preferably the wedge is made of an elastomeric polymeric foam to permit compression thereof between two non-removed files to enhance the resistance of the device to downward gravitational forces.
