ABSTRACT:
[A filing system for the compact filing of information having a file container with a plurality of backing cards in said container. Cooperating between said file cards are fulcrum means positioned near the bottom edges of said backing cards and with support means for supporting the backing cards adjacent a fulcrum means, the parts being so arranged as to permit selected backing cards normally supported in a substantially vertical position to be separated or fanned apart at their top edges so that information on the upper portions of said backing cards may be accessible upon a limited number of cards. Also positioned between the backing cards are data cards which are supported by a data card support positioned above the fulcrum means. Access may be had to the data cards upon "fanning" of a limited group of backing cards.] A filing system for the compact filing of information and having a file receptacle containing a plurality of backing cards that are separated near their bottom edge by a plurality of fulcrums. The interaction of several of the cards at these fulcrums and at their lower edges causes a limited number of the card to be separated or fanned at their upper portions so that information thereon may be fully visible. Data element support members are also provided on the receptacle so that when backing cards separate the data elements, the data elements will not interfere with the fulcrum action by falling down between the backing cards. The receptacle and backing cards interengage to prohibit vertical movement of the backing cards relative to the receptacle during the fulcrum action. Data elements are held against rearwardly positioned backing cards to assure visibility of said data elements during said fulcrum action.
