ABSTRACT:
An improved box file structure is provide for use in a hanging office drawer file. A pocket member is formed of flat, sheet stock that is folded and fastened in such a way as to form a pair of transverse, mutually parallel retaining panels, a connecting web between the lower extremities of the retaining panels, and end flaps extending between the side edges of the retaining panels. A pair of rigid support bars extend through sleeves formed at the upper extremities of the retaining panels. The support bars have hooks at their ends that engage the rails of the hanging file. The connecting web and the end panels are each divided in half by a fold. The central fold in the connecting web is parallel to the support bars, while the folds that divide the end panels in half are perpendicular thereto. The structure of the pocket sheet may thereby be collapsed fully to bring the retaining panels into face-to-face contact with each other. When employed for use, on the other hand, the box file employs a floor panel that fits down into the pocket formed between the retaining panels and pushes them away from each other until the connecting web resides in a horizontal disposition. Also, both the floor panel and the sleeves that accommodate the support bars are provided with slots. Upright dividers are formed with tabs that engage these slots in both the sleeves and in the floor panel. The dividers can thereby be removably attached to both the floor panel and the sleeves with the floor panel seated in the box file pocket.
