ABSTRACT:
[A means for filing documents which is particularly adapted for open filing of various file folders, as for example legal size file folders, and wherein the folders are suspended on horizontal rails and freely slidable longitudinally of the rails, the files suspended below the rails being closely adjacent lower surfaces of a plurality of superimposed files and bars support the file folders on the rails slidably longitudinally thereof, the bars being provided with notches or bearings in their lower edges near their opposite ends so that the file folders, together with the bar, may be placed into a position between superimposed files, as for example, by placing one end of the bar underneath a first rail and then lifting the bar up at its far end and lowering it onto a second rail to engage a respective notch with the rail. The holder may then be pushed back together with the bar and the front end of the bar is raised up behind the first rail and pulled forward and placed over the upper portion of the rail so that the respective notch is engaged with the first rail at the outer side of the open filing system to suspendingly support the file holder and allow it to be slidably moved longitudinally along the rails as desired. The reverse procedure may be taken to remove a file holder and its supporting bar from the filing means of the invention, thus allowing a plurality of superimposed shelves to be utilized under which a pair of rails of the invention support a plurality of file or folder supporting bars, all readily movably mounted on the rails.]
[Further, the disclosure relates to an important modification of the invention having reinforced bar structure and novel document connection means especially adapted for holding large documents and groups thereof, such as maps, blueprints, or other large documents which may be suspended on a pair of rails in a similar manner to that hereinbefore described.]
A means for filing documents, such as maps, blueprints, legal files, etc., includes a horizontal supporting bar supported at opposite ends on spaced horizontal rails wherein the bar has a strip-like structure with an upper supporting portion formed concavo-convex in vertical cross-section throughout its length for nesting with adjacent supporting bars, and rail engaging notches near opposite ends of the bar with the notches being relatively long and the inner edges of the notches being spaced apart sufficiently less than the spacing between the rails so that one end of the bar can be moved freely between the rails inside of its respective rail while the other end of the bar is engaged by its rail within its notch. For smaller documents such as legal files, the bars support file folders for holding the files; such arrangement of rails, bars and file folders can be superimposed with similar arrangements or can have closely superimposed shelves. Further there is disclosed a plurality of flexible straps with head portions interlocking in spaced openings in each bar for supporting larger documents.
