    FILTER FOR CARDS, SHEETS, ACCOUNTS AND OTHER DOCUMENTS AND OBJECTS SUCH AS DISCS.



   The present invention relates to a new type of filing cabinet for cards, sheet accounts and other documents or objects, such as disks. The elements of the binder, for example, hanging units, dividers, reference card holders, document holders, pockets, etc. are arranged so that documents can be taken out from the front.



   In files of this type which are already known, the suspended parts are arranged inside furniture, shelves, etc., so that they can be taken out laterally. These filing cabinets have the drawback that the front openings of the suspended members are located next to each other on the same line, which makes the opening operation and the work difficult. To remedy these drawbacks, according to the present invention, the filing elements are provided with such means and are constructed and arranged in such a way that they can be removed from the cabinet totally or partially from the front, separately or. in groups so that the work can be carried out from above as well as from the front.

   The supporting elements of the classification elements, for example the supporting rails, the supporting brackets or the like can at the same time serve as guide elements and they are correspondingly constructed in such a way that the elements; of classification so that they can move around.



   Filing elements, in particular document holders, pockets, napkins and the like can also rest on a shelf, substantially vertically, projecting upwards. In this case, the side walls can carry organs suitable for the support and corresponding support and carrier members can be detachably attached to it. It is advisable to equip the filing elements and the shelves of the cabinet with stops and counter-stops so that the filing elements can be pulled out of the shelf over part of their length.

 lization, for any purpose; on the front edge, and preferably c6'4, in the lower half of the edge. Classification items can be removed from their place. The protruding tabs would then be a drawback. These can therefore be arranged on the classification elements, so that they can be tucked inside.



   Another characteristic is that at the lower part

 higher supports., docum.n.ts, pockets, forming part of the bottom, are arranged so as to be able to exit forward. These parts can then also be provided with gripping and signaling tabs, and label holders. There may also be provided, in the lower folds of the bottom of the pockets, additional bottom parts which can slide forwards in the guides.



   Guidance card holders, which can exit forwards complete the document holders. - '
When using suspension members, it is advantageous to provide the suspension rails with raised heads in the form of hooks, directed upwards, so as to allow access to the front part of the suspension members. suspension, from above, and to have the label holders as well as the signals.



   The pockets, located on the interlayers of the housing, can be prevented from turning over or overturning the walls of the pockets, by means of suspension rails, stirrups or similar carrying and support members and, for this it is -provided, for example on-the-pockets, upper marginal parts correspondingly folded back and which, by shortening in the longitudinal direction, allow a partial exit. The shape of the marginal parts before the classification elements can be different depending on the goal to be achieved. The edges may be provided with chamfers directed inward or outward, for the reception of the label holders, gripping and signaling tabs or the like.

   The special shape of classification elements for phonograph records will also be described.



   The placement and removal of documents and other objects in

   In this regard, it is necessary to transfer as far as possible towards the rear part of the furniture the transverse bars of this furniture to which the supporting bars are attached and, by correspondingly conforming the parts connecting the supporting bars to the cross bars, to leave free , over a part as large as possible of the total length of the supporting bars to work without being impeded.



   In addition, in accordance with the present invention; the part of the backrest serving as a background is made in such a way that it can be flexible at will with a hanging fold or rigid and horizontal thanks to a stiffening member.

   The sliding arrangements of the label holders only apply to vertical hanging files. The suspension bars, mostly metallic, non-elastic, used to suspend the filing elements are made in such a way that it is possible to have horizontally sliding label holders on them. These metallic embodiments are not suitable for lateral filing and vertical arrangement of filing elements. These embodiments are furthermore significantly too expensive for such an article to be mass-produced, and hence they are not economical.



   According to the invention, therefore, provision is made to use, independently of the non-elastic, mostly metallic suspension bars, special guide bars made of an elastic material, in particular cellulose and cardboard. In this case, the guide strips are fixed on the filing elements, for example by stapling, preferably along their median longitudinal line. The guide strips can also be formed by: correspondingly folding back the marginal parts of the filing elements with suitable stapling. By means of staples, rivets and the like, a specially suitable cardboard can exhibit the desired clamping tension. Celluloid is remarkably suitable for elastic shaping.

   These two materials can be worked easily and inexpensively and they are suitable, in particular, for the intended mass production of classification elements.



   It is possible to implement the invention according to a large number of embodiments, some of which are shown by way of example in the appended drawing in which:

 <Desc / Clms Page number 7>

 on longitudinal rods 7 so as to be able to slide laterally, these rods 7 being fixed on the cabinet and on the sides of shelves. 8.



   FIG. 2 also shows suspended members which, however, are arranged on guide rails 9 of special shape. These rails
9 (see the section in figure 10) bear, .. on both sides, raised edges
10 forming channels opening upwards, in which come! engaging the extensions 4 in the form of hooks. To prevent the extensions 4 from coming off of their own accord when pulling the filing elements, above the channels 10 are blocking rails 11 which are only interrupted at two points located a little ahead of the normal position of the projections 4 (when the suspended member is pushed in), so as to be able to hook and unhook at will, at these points, the suspended members.



   With the aid of these guide rails arranged on two sides, the suspended members are at the same time joined to each other in the manner of an accordion.



   Figures 3, 4, 5 and-7-show other variants of the carrier rails 12. These include an arm 13¯ which engages on top of a carrier member 14, disposed correspondingly on the ., furniture, 2 or the edge 8 of a shelf. The arm 13 has a free end and its other end is joined to the suspended member by the intermediary of the supporting rail 12. In this way, the free ends of the supporting arms can move from the rear. forwards or vice versa There could still be several supporting arms 13 on the same rail 12 so as to obtain a better support (figure 7).

   Depending on the position of the fulcrum, it is possible to obtain that the classification elements exit under the action of gravity by tilting upwards or downwards (see fig. 5).



   To facilitate this, the supporting elements 14 can be arranged obliquely (Figure 5). The intermediate walls 56 can be arranged in the same way, with suspension. The connection in the manner of an accordion can also be obtained in another way, for example by hooking tabs 15 arranged on the front part of the. upper edge (figure 7). In order to allow the side walls arranged next to each other by their outer sides to be hung laterally, these sides carry, in the direction of the length, connecting strips 16 and this in such a way that the connection of the neighboring side walls is done 'by' in-'gripping one part from above and the other part from below (figure 8 and see also figures 13 and 15)
Figures 13, 14,

     15 and 21 show filing elements, in particular document holders 17 which rest on the side of a shelf protruding vertically upwards. In this case, as shown in Figure 13, the side walls of these filing elements are removably connected to the corresponding carrying and support members 18 and 19. In figure 13, these carrying and support members are simple carrying rails 18 which can move laterally on longitudinal rods in the form of a frame and on which is folded on both sides a cardboard strip 19 which encloses the carrier rail 18 by means of a clip 20 and which is folded upwards on the two lower sides and is provided with clips 21.

   This cardboard strip thus forms connecting rods in the form of pockets similar to those (designated by 16) described above, in which connecting strips engage downward.
22 correspondingly arranged on the outer walls of the filing elements 17. Therefore, for a certain opening angle, the side walls are supported in order to prevent tilting of the filing elements.



   The classification elements 17 bear, on the rear parts of the upper edge, raised parts forming stops 23 which come to bear, when the element is pulled, forwards against the edge projecting downwards on the side of the classification. a shelf, thus limiting the exit movement.



  In order to be able also to limit the rest position inside the cabinet and to prevent the filing element from automatically coming out undesirably when another element is pulled out, side 8 of the shelf has, at its front end, a bead 24 against which abuts

 <Desc / Clms Page number 8>

 the bottom 25 cut correspondingly at its front end (Figure 14).



  Instead of this cutout 57, there may be a notch 26 (Figure 15).



  There may also be stops 27 and 28 at the bottom and at the top, at the rear end, as required.



   The classification elements can be made in a different way on their front sides and on their visible edges, according to the part they have to play. It is good to provide them with socket recesses 29. In addition, it is advantageous on the protruding front edges, for example this edge being inclined downwards so that a label holder 30 can be placed there (Figure 18).



   Instead of the front edges being arranged vertically, they can be inclined downwards or upwards and receive label holders 31 and 32. The inclination is chosen depending on whether the shelf is above or below. the height of the user's eye. By taking a corresponding inclination, a better visibility can be obtained, which facilitates the search.



   The upper and lower corners of the filing elements can still be set back from the projecting marginal parts, thus constituting inclined parts on which label holders 33 can be placed advantageously (FIG. 12). Label holders 34 can also be arranged obliquely on the upper edge of the carrier rails 12 '(FIG. 3).

   Vertical and horizontal marginal parts - can also accommodate label holders 35 (figures 3, 4, 8 and 12) and 36 (figure 7) .These label holders can be made so that they can be placed at heights different (label holders 37; Figures 2 and II) In this case, the marginal parts carry guide strips 38 of corresponding shape on the free edges of which engage the label holders, being able to slide on them. The label holders 39 can also have tabs 6. To prevent the labels from falling out, the edges on which the label holders sit can be cut so that these label holders rest on the lower marginal part at the bottom. projection 58 (figure 1).



   The edges can be reinforced with a suitable material 40, in particular cardboard, celluloid, as well as metal. To prevent, when using metal strips 41, the flexible filing element from bending back, it is a good idea to place a stubborn material, for example a celluloid strip 42, between the metal and the filing element. These bands 42 of flexible material can still be arranged in a U-shape on or under the bottom of the Filing Insulation, so as to prevent tearing of the front edge of the insert. background.



  In this case, the celluloid may protrude over the front edge of the bottom (Figures 3 and 9).



   In the case of large volume documents, it may be necessary to divide the filing elements. For this, separating elements 43 with lower projections 44 and 45 (Figures 5 and 6) 'preventing them from slipping undesirably can be provided. To prevent them from rising, and they may further include grooves 46 located above the lower end, extensions 45 (Figure 6).

   The bottom of the filing element may include recesses in which the protrusions of the element 43o engage. To receive important documents, it is also good to provide bottoms 46 folded in a zig-zag fashion (Figures 19 and 20). This makes it possible to better support, in particular, the document holders 17.



   In order to be able to divide the interior of the cabinet into smaller compartments, there is provided, in combination with the document holders 17, intermediate walls 47 which can slide laterally, for example on the rear wall and which can also carry Reference card holder 49 in guide rails 50 and on which cards 51 are fixed, for example (FIG. 12).

   The intermediate walls can be provided with vertical reinforcements of any type, for example with beads, reinforcing rods or the like which are arranged for example

 <Desc / Clms Page number 9>

 at the rear end, near the support legs - - - -
In order to allow the protruding marginal parts of the filing elements to flex easily to the side, hinges, for example perforations 52 (figure 15) or even stamped flex lines, can be provided, especially when more resistant materials are used.



   On the front of the sides of the shelves 8, movable label holders 54 (Fig. 15) can be placed, for example to designate groups. In order to keep these label holders in their groups, cleats 53 are provided, for example on the upper metal rails 5.



   The reinforcements 40 of the marginal parts of the classification elements can extend over all the marginal parts and thus form a frame. For the operation, that is to say the opening and closing, as well as for: moving the classification elements to the side or to the front, metal bands may be provided offset from the reinforcement bands that wear on the front of the legs 6.



   Finally, it may be useful to have pockets 55 inside or on the outside walls of the filing elements.



   Fig. 22 shows another embodiment of the classification elements. In place of the suspended members, there are provided metal bands 61 suspended from support rails 60 and on which are fixed celluloid bands 62. These last form at the lower part of the mouths used to receive the document holders 63. The bands celluloid can be attached to the metal strips in any way, for example by stapling the metal part having at its lower end a wide T-shaped part. It is bonded to join each of the upper metal parts to an additional rail 64 comprising at the front a tab 6 for actuating the bands and; for receiving the inscriptions. In this way, the metal parts form a rigid frame.



   The supporting rails join the bands together in the manner of an accordion, and they are provided with channels 10 allowing the sliding of the suspended frame formed by the bands.



   Instead of double carrier rails 60, there could be single rails 18 to which the bands are attached (Figure 24). Obviously, instead of metal and celluloid bands one could combine any solid and flexible materials, for example cardboard bands in combination with textile bands.



   It may be useful to provide the document holders 60 so that they remain in a certain position on the bands and can be removed therefrom, for example by lifting them. For this, it can be provided, for example on the bottom, cardboard strips 65 of celluloid, projecting downwards, and between which the celluloid strips 62 are housed, thus preventing the unwanted sliding of the doors. -documents on tapes.



   The examples given above are suitable for filing cabinets with shelf sides that can turn 90. The various examples are also partly suitable for the known vertical classification.



   Referring now to Figures 25 to 37, Figure 25 shows, in perspective, a document holder 17 with gripping tabs 70, arranged on its right side and the end 71 of which is widened so that, when it is pulled in a guide 72 to bring it into the desired position, its movement is limited. The side wall has on the front edge, next to the tongue 70, a cutout 73 for easily taking the tongue 70 when it is retracted;
The left side wall of the document holder also carries a tab 74, with a wide end portion 75, moving in a guide 76, and a cutout 77 in the side wall.

   This tab 74 has, for example, a special color; it serves as a flag

 <Desc / Clms Page number 10>

 and it is possible to pull it out more than the grip tab 70. - -.



   This flag is pulled out as soon as the document folder next to it, on the left, has been removed from the binder. -Therefore, we indicate the place where the document holder which has been removed must be put back later.



   Fig. 25 further shows that there is only a groove 78 in the document holder on one side. This is advantageous because it makes it possible to always maintain at the same height a side wall of the document holder which is to receive the label holder 35.



   The label holder 35 can be removable by means of feet 79 forming pliers and it can be placed at different heights (figure 26). The gripping tabs can also be removable and be adjusted in height (figo 27). Thus, for example, the gripping tongue may comprise a metal strip 80, surrounding the side wall from the rear and folded back at the front, so as to constitute a gripping part 81 whose free end returns. front to back to embed the front edge of the - document holder. It is advantageous to have the document holder gripping tabs resting on the bottom of a compartment, in the lower half of the front edges of the document holders.



   FIG. 28 represents a signaling device 82, 84.



  A strip of celluloid, 82, is threaded through the slots 83 in the side wall of the document holder and carries at the rear end a flexible strip 84, for example of silk, fixed to the opposite wall by a handle. rivet 85. The celluloid strip 84 is pulled forward by a rubber 86 attached at one end to the same side wall and at the other end to the celluloid strip. To prevent the celluloid tape and rubber from being damaged, a cardboard board 87 is stapled to them. If documents are inserted from front to back in the document holder, they come to bear against the strip 84 and consequently move the tab 82 back.



  If the documents are removed, the tab automatically pops out and indicates that the documents are missing.



   Fig. 29 shows a document holder in the bottom fold 88 of which there is another folded bottom part 89 which can be drawn in and out in a guide 90. This guide, consisting of a stapled cardboard strip, supports the sliding bottom part 89, so that it can carry documents pulled to the front, without tilting. It is advantageous, in this case, that the sliding part protrudes forward by a sufficient amount to be able to serve at the same time as a gripping part. The side parts of the sliding bottom 89 can have any height.



   FIG. 31 shows a bottom part 91, which can be moved in and out, carried by suspended parts 92. The lower end of the suspended parts 92 forms support and guide rails 93 and on which come to carry the upper edges of the bottom parts. The latter can be provided with gripping tabs 70. The suspended parts 92 are carried by support rails 93 of a support frame 95 and: they can, with the aid of drive parts 96, actuate. label holders 97, horizontal and mobile.



   Figure 32 shows a document holder, with card holder 49 placed in guides 50, with a guide card 51 and fixed lower gripping tabs 6.



   Figures 33, 34 and 35 show different embodiments of the front edge of the carried or suspended document holder 17, 36 or of the filing element.



   Depending on the intended purpose, the oblique parts are directed inward or outward, so as to allow the label holder 35 and the gripping tongues 6 to be arranged in a corresponding manner;
Figure 36 shows the arrangement of a caliper 98 serving as a gold

 <Desc / Clms Page number 11>

 carrier and support gane for a document holder 17, in which, by means of - a folding 99 of the upper edge, a fold is obtained through which the stirrup passes.



  By shortening the folded part, which exists only on the rear half, the document holder can be pulled forward, the stirrup preventing an unwanted tipping or overturning. If the document holder is to be made especially for phonograph records, vertical bands 100 can be placed inside of any flexible material, preventing the records from rolling forward or backward. 'rear, because the lower fold 101 of the strip is disposed higher than the fold 102 of the document holder 56.



   FIG. 37 shows the carrying heads 103, directed upwards and backwards, on which are fixed guide rails 104 which are provided with lateral guides 105 serving to pull the document holders forward. Guide rails 104 can carry, on top, label holders 1060 The carrier heads thus formed allow the compartment 8 to be retracted. In order to receive discs, the ply 102 can include a cutout 107, substantially in its middle, through which the edge of the disc still protrudes downwards thus preventing it from slipping. The edge of the cutout can be reinforced with reinforcing strips 108, of any kind of flexible material.



   Between the different discs, it is possible to place walls, for example made of cardboard, comprising, at their lower end, for example in the middle where the cutout 17 is located, feet penetrating into these cutouts and thus maintaining in place. position the intermediate walls when removing the discs
The intermediate walls can also comprise, on their front and rear edges, lower cutouts, so as to bear on the strips 108 by their projecting part. It is possible to make combinations with the cutouts 107 or other cutouts provided in the bottom.



   If, Pu now refers to Figures 38 to 40, there is shown in Figure 38 a suspended device for phonograph discs, comprising strips 100 and 108 which can adapt to the curvature of the edge of the disc thanks to the fact that they can turn around rivets 110 by means of which they are fixed to the walls 56 of the suspended device. In this way $ - the edge of the discs does not bear on the edge of the bands, but can come to bear on their middle part.



   Further, the bands 108 prevent the discs from coming into contact with the front and rear marginal portions of a lower cutout 107 and therefore gradually damaging it. This deterioration is further prevented by a strip 111 disposed a little lower, in the middle of the cutout, and on which the discs also bear. This lower position of this band 111, as well as the circularly shaped position of the discs, the bands 100 and 108 being pivotable, preventing the discs from sliding out undesirably.



   Figures 39 and 40 show hanging devices 112 for receiving special shirts 113. These shirts are made in such a way or are provided with such means that they can be easily picked up, for example by means of zippers. 114, so as to be able to withdraw them totally or partially, at will. The same result can be obtained when these folders 113 protrude from the front of the document holder by an amount to enable them to be gripped. The shirts 113 can then visibly wear label holders 115, preferably on their upper or front edge, the inscriptions of which correspond to those of the label holders 116 carried by the hanging devices, for example at the top.



   In order to unite with each other, in the manner of an accordion, the suspended devices, their upper right support rods 118 carry extensions 117, in the form of hooks, which can be gripped on the rod. left 119 of the immediately neighboring device. The left sticks 119 do not. have no protrusion of this kind so as to be able to move the carrying rods 118/119 laterally on the

 8 of drawers, these chopsticks carry support heads 120 which hook into the top.



   Referring now to Figures 41 to 50, Figure 41 shows a transverse bar 121, fixed to the rear wall 2 of the cabinet and provided with a part 122 forming a stop. On the transverse bar, are arranged head parts 123, in the form of hooks, support bars 124, the rear ends of which bear against the stop 122. The lower edges of these bars 124 are raised at 125, which forms grooves (see figure 43). In these grooves 125, is introduced, from the front, metal strips 126 in the form of hooks, comprising, at the lower part, grooves 127 in which the folded upper edges of the suspended members 133 engage.

   To prevent the metal strips 126 from lifting, locking rims 128 are fitted in place above the raised edges 125. The metal strips 126 can extend to any length and form pull tabs at their end. before. The angles 126 can be placed at any points and be of any number, which also allows the suspended member to be placed obliquely, by correspondingly lifting the rear end of the metal strips 12-6.

   Hook-shaped stops at the front end of the carrier bars 124 and at the rear end of the metal strips 126 make it possible to obtain an inclination of 90, the suspended member then being able to be fitted at its end. before appropriate means, for example strips pivoting on rivets, so as to prevent the contents from falling. suspended organs.



   Figure 44 shows a variant. The heads 123, in the form of hooks, are arranged at the outer end of the bars. carriers 129 and they extend vertically forming a support element 130. These carry extensions 131 in the form of angles, offset in height, limiting the pivoting during the lateral opening in the form of a funnel of the or- hanging ganes. A corresponding narrow dimension of the interior of the hook head relative to the thickness of the upper edge of the crossbar 121 plays the same role. The support bars 129 are simple metal bars on which the suspended members 123 can be brought in and out by means of guide folds 132 formed by folding and stapling the upper edge.

   In this connection, reinforcing linings and similar objects can be provided so as to avoid cutting the material by friction. Likewise, for this purpose, the upper edge carrying the carrier bars 129 can be rolled.



   Fig. 46 shows a further variation in which, parallel to and at a distance from the carrier bar 134, is attached a carrier arm 135 serving to suspend, move laterally and enter and exit the carrier bar. , The support member of the cabinet, the transverse bar 136 is placed between the arm 135 and the bar 134 and it rests on the side walls of the cabinet. For the rest, the bar 134 is substantially the same as the bar 124 and it also serves as a guide for the metal strips 126.

   This variant has the advantage that, not only can the suspended members 133 be pulled forward by means of the metal strips 126, but also the carrying bars themselves can be made to exit, according to the position given to the crossbar 136, by a greater or lesser amount, up to almost its full length. In this regard, to support them, for example above, there may be support angles 137 which, for convenience, are any number and at any distance from the rear wall and which serve as stops.



   Figure 47 shows reinforcements on the lower bottom part of the suspended members 133. The front edge 138 is surrounded on both sides by a rubber band. 139. The bottom bottom ply is provided with a gummed textile strip 140 which is glued inside and out in the direction of the bottom ply. In order to prevent the; tape does not come off due to its thickness, when moving the contents, the textile bands are provided with adhesive, gummed, cellophane bands which cover the edges of the textile bands and at the same time form a smooth upper surface.

The bottom parts can be provided with a rear wall 147 and include reinforcement of any kind. Materials of any kind or combinations can be used, in particular cardboard and metal. The filing cabinet elements have offset pull tabs 151.



   FIG. 50 represents a variant of the suspension of the bottom.



  The lower edges of the suspended members are provided with strips 148, analogous to the strips 126, having grooves open from above 149 in which bottom parts 150 of different widths can enter and exit.



   Referring now to Figures 51 to 68, Figure 51 shows in perspective a suspension file 201 with extendable bottom 202, 203 and 204 on which are fixed by means of clips 206, bands 205 dis-

 laid lengthwise from the bottom. The bottom 202, 203? 204 is made of a flexible material and forms a pendant fold at the bottom (not shown, because it is -eoranu in so1.) - "If you push between the strips 205 and the bottom 209, transversely to the part 202 , 203, 204 from the bottom, - stiffening members, for example sheets 207, the bottom becomes rigid and flat.

   The bands 205 are arranged such that all the staples are parallel to each other and on the. same line, so that between these staples 206, there remain, in the transverse direction, free passages for threading therein the stiffening plates 207 below the bottom and above the bands 205.



   The bands 205, separated from each other, allow

  Consequently, if the stiffening plates 207 are threaded in such a way that the sides 203 and 204 always have the same number of unused bands 205, the bottom portion 202 is in a horizontal position.



   The file 201 is suspended by means of brackets 208, from the tubes 209, The tubes 209 (not fully shown) sound; worn in a con

209. The stirrups are curved at the rear end forming hooks 208a and they can be placed in a removable manner on the rear end of the free lower part 208 of the pin. In this way, it is possible, at any point in the binder, by opening the stirrup 208, to push this forward on the casings 209 and then to close.

 ture .by means of hook 208a.

   The backrest 201 can be moved forward and backward, of which the free upper bracket 208 bears on the tubes 2090. In this way, it is possible to pull forward any individual folder or a group of folders, at will, by bringing them to the front of the other files, and you can thus work in the files not only by their small front sides, but also at the same time on top of them.



   To further increase this advantage, other support and guide members 211, 212, 213, 214, 215 and 216 can be provided which allow this. to telescopically pull the backrest or only parts of it.

 <Desc / Clms Page number 14>

 



   As can be seen from FIG. 51 and the section of FIG. 53, the upper edge 210, which may for example consist of a folded sheet metal, comprises, on both sides, marginal parts 211 raised and extending longitudinally in which are arranged two strips 212 engaging from above and being able to slide longitudinally. For their part, these strips are folded over the lower edge portions and receive the walls 201 of the backrest provided with aune guide strip 213.

   These bands 213 cannot be lifted because of the trough shape, blocking at the top, of the curved marginal part of the strips 212, they can only slide forwards and backwards.
We can provide in the same way, at the bottom of the files; other strips 214 and other guide strips 215 and 2160
The following operations can therefore be carried out:
1.- Pull the backrests in full using the stirrups 208 on the tubes 209.



   20 - Pull the strips 212 on the raised guide marginal parts 211.



   30.- Pull the walls 201 of the backrest over the raised guide edges 212 in combination with the guide strips 213.



   4.- Pull the strips 214 in combination with the guide strips 2150
5. - Pull the bottom part 202, 203, 204 over the raised lower marginal part 214 in combination with guide strips 216.



   The front marginal parts of the backrest 201 have vertical guide strips 218 allowing label holders 217 to slide, and gripping and signaling tabs 219 can also slide on these bands 218. Likewise, on them. projecting upper marginal parts, fixed or sliding label holders 220 may be provided.



   To make inscriptions by group, label holders 222 can slide on a rod 221 (the latter being fixed to the side walls of a cabinet). These label holders carry: extensions 223 directed downwards and they can thus be driven automatically by projecting parts 224 (FIG. 56) of the upper edge 210 of the backrest when the backrest to which they belong moves.



   Likewise, the pull-out bottom parts are provided with pull-outs 225. Between the suspension files, on their outer side walls, indicator card holders 227 with pull-outs 228 can slide in either direction in either direction. -, upper and lower guides 226. These card holders are used to receive indicator cards which can be used, for example, for the classification of all the files belonging to a group.



   The stirrups 208 are arranged at the rear, so as to leave free as much as possible of the upper edge of a backrest.



   Figures 58 and 59 show a slight variation.



   The bottom part 232 is removably attached to the right side of the lower part of the side wall 201. This lower part carries, in a lower ply 229, a tubular stirrup 230 leaving a narrow slot between its part. free lower part 231 and the upper part 230 of the caliper o
Instead of having this shape, we can also take the same shape as for the stirrup 208, that is to say with a hook closure. The bottom part 202 is threaded into the slot in question. Correspondingly, by moving the lower part of the side wall 201, a larger or smaller bottom surface 232 can be obtained as desired. This surface can be stiffened as has been said about figure 51.



   Figure 59 shows, as a variant, a double bottom 232 and 233, joined together by means of staples 234 (which are arranged in line-, parallel

 <Desc / Clms Page number 15>

 to each other at determined intervals) and which has free passages, both in the longitudinal direction and in the transverse direction.



  These passages are used in the transverse direction for threading stiffening sheets 235 therein. The lower bottom 233 is open on the left side and stiffening sheets of different lengths can be threaded on this side depending on the width chosen for the bottom. The left side wall 201 has a downwardly projecting marginal portion 236 which, after the stiffening plates 235 have been threaded, provides a locking preventing these plates from sliding out on their own. As a result, the bottom 232, 233 at the same time has a slight obliqueness which means that the bottom part not used can push the bottom of the suspended backrest which is on the right.

   If the stiffening plates 235 have a width such as that of the bottom, the part projecting to the right remains flexible and hangs (not shown, but see figure 62).



   In order to prevent the right side part from moving to the right by itself, a locking member 237 is threaded into the free passage which extends lengthwise from the bottom. As the locking member 237, a metal wire is taken, the length of which is a little greater than that of the stirrup-230-231.



   Fig. 58 further shows another shape of the front edge of the backrest. This edge is inclined both at the top and at the bottom and it comprises, between its oblique parts, a vertical middle part. In this way, all of the marginal parts can be provided with label holders 238. Instead of having a label holder on the vertical middle part, there can also be provided pull tabs 239 and tabs on the side. generalization 240 being able to go in and out. On the free part of the Upper edge you can have sliding label holders 241.



   FIG. 60 shows in section the arrangement of a label holder 241 of this type, a fold of its lower edge of which engages at the rear on the guide member folded down from the edge of the backrest. .



   On the outer walls of the backrest are fixed, by means of clips 244, guide strips 242 and 243 arranged lengthwise. These bands join the side walls together to prevent unwanted space between the backrests. The backs are provided on their front edges with grooves 245, vertical and forming an articulation, in order to allow the protruding marginal parts to open in the form of a hopper.



   Figure 61 shows a variant of the lower part of the hanging file. Each of the side walls 201a carries a double bottom 232, 233, which is fixed thereto on the right in a non-removable manner, being fixed on the left in a removable manner. The side walls take the kind of sliding inter- wall between the different boxes they constitute. The removable part on the right of the double bottom 232, 233 is taken in the same way by means of stirrups 230, 231, from the side wall or from the intermediate wall 201a immediately following it on the right.



   Also in this case, there are provided in the same way stiffening plates 235 and locking members 237 between the clips. 234.



   Further, Fig. 61 shows the arrangement of an in and out bottom portion 246 with ribs 247. In this case, the vertical portions of the extendable bottom 246 engage the bottom. rear guides 248 which are fixed by means of clips 249 on the side walls or spacers 201a. The extensible bottom 246 is variable in width by means of corresponding folds which can be marked by grooves ,,. In addition, this bottom 246 may be a double bottom provided with stiffening plates.



   FIG. 62 represents another variant of the invention. All the side walls are removable intermediate walls 250 with -, lower pleats 229, carrying stirrups 230, 231, which are provided at their rear ends with hook-shaped closures 252. The interlayers 250 of a group or of a whole series have a common double bottom

 <Desc / Clms Page number 16>

 232, 233, with stiffening and blocking member, as has been said above. In the series, there may be provided. Backrests 253, projecting towards the front, provided with label holders 217, with base which can be widened and tightened, mounted on guide members 248 allowing them to be enter and take them out The unused bottom part 232, 233 can take on both sides of the group.



   As shown in Figure 64 (partial view from below), the double bottoms have from below, 2331 'slits 254 which serve to insert, in variable positions, reinforcing sheets of varying lengths.



   The stirrups 231 may have cam-shaped infeechia parts in order to give rise to a corresponding friction preventing the spontaneous displacement of the intermediate wall. It is also possible, by virtue of this elastic arrangement, to make an adaptation making it possible to compensate for the modification of the spacing of the upper carrying member relative to the bottom when the backrest is opened.



   As can be seen in Fig. 62, the intermediate walls 250 are folded over about the rear half of the upper edge and in these folds 255 they receive stirrups 256, the hook-shaped ends of which bear on the tubes 209. In this way, it is possible to bring the groups 250 to the front over a length corresponding to the parties remaining free in front of the upper edge.



   FIG. 65 represents a variant in which instead of having a closed bottom part, this bottom is made of several elements 257 with free spaces between them. The bottom elements are in the form of strips which are rigid or flexible at will. The intermediate walls 258 comprise, at their lower ends, a ply 259 as well as cutouts 260. In the folds 259, metal wires 261 are threaded. The bottom elements 257 are threaded transversely in the cutouts (being carried by the son 261 ') Thanks to this arrangement, it is possible to make lockers of any width and that in groups or over the entire width of a row of cabinets or shelves.

   According to figure 15, the suspension is obtained thanks to the fact that the intermediate walls have, on their upper edges, folds 262 with cutouts 263 in which are threaded metal strips provided with heads. 264 in the form of hooks and cutouts 265 forming stops. The position of the heads 264 is shifted rearward so that the sets of files are more loaded in the front and the cutouts 265 are pushed from below against the tubes-209. The intermediate walls 258 engage through the fold 259 in the intermediate free spaces as well as by means of projections, below the plane of the bottom. -
Fig. 67 shows the use of a hanging folder 201 for the classification of disks.

   For this purpose, the suspended file comprises- a cutout 266, substantially in its middle, in which is suspended a strip 267 which comes lower than the rest of the back of the file. In addition, bands 269 are provided pivoting around rivets 268 which prevent the discs from slipping. In addition, the backrests have marginal bands for additional stiffening, for example glued bands 270, of cardboard or textile material, which are covered with glued bands 271, for example made of the product known in the trade as of "Cellophane", so as to have a smooth surface. The suspension can be effected by means of brackets 272 on which the hook-shaped heads 273 engage, allowing the desired backrest to be released.



   Referring to Figures 69 to 111, Figure 69 shows, in perspective, a suspended file 301 of a lateral filing device, which bears on the front right marginal part 302 of the sub-file-303 therein. is threaded, a vertical strip 304 of cardboard which is fixed, along its center line. vertical, on-this marginal part-by means of staples 305 and which comprises a label holder which can slide from top to bottom, in cel- Mord or other transparent material which surrounds, like a clamp, the strip of carton 304 by means of legs 307 and 308 made in a corresponding manner.

 you.

   These feet are obtained by folding the ends of the celluloid strip towards each other and inwards, the celluloid strip at the same time taking the form of a pocket 9 serving to receive the label. The pocket can then be closed on the open side by a clip 310.



   FIG. 70 is a section of this device, taken along line a-a.



   Figure 71 shows the label holder alone.



   Figure 72 shows a suspension file 311 of a vertical filing device with suspension bar 312 which, like the suspension file 301 or 303, is provided with a guide strip 313 on its horizontal edge ,,:, upper tal . This strip is fixed by means of staples 314 arranged along the median horizontal line, and this independently of the suspension bar.



  On this strip is arranged the label holder 315 which can slide laterally, which also comprises an upper pocket 316 with an interior label strip 317, the pocket 316 being able to be closed by a clip 318. The former hoppers of the label holder are. folded towards the backrest 11 and towards each other, and they surround the band 317 by means of the feet 319 and 320.

Figure 74 is a vertical section of the backrest 311, and of the band 313.



   Figure 75 is a vertical section of the label holder 3150
Figure 76 is a partial perspective view of a slight variation. The backrest 311 is curved downwards on its upper edge 321, thus forming a part 322, the free end of which is once again folded upwards, forming the part-323 which is stapled along the horizontal center line, at the means of staples 314. The label holder 334 is made a little differently; it has two parts, the part 324 in the form of a clamp, with the feet 325 and 326, and an upper cutout, 327., in which the second part engages:;. mounted in this cutout, with foot 328, head pocket 329 and label strip 330.

   This second part comprises, between the foot portion 326 and the pocket portion 329, cutouts 331, the purpose of which is to be able to bring the foot portion 328 under the clamping feet 326.

   Figure 80 is a vertical section of the second portion 328-329 of the label holder which fits therein.



   Figure 81 is a vertical section of a variant of the label holder. The latter is engaged, by the foot portion 326 on the upper edge of the suspension backrest and, by means of the foot 325, between the portion 322 and the backrest 311.



   Figure 82 shows the suspension file 311 of figure 81 with the fold 321 and the folded part 3220
Figures 83, 84 and 85 are vertical cross sections of other variations. The guide bar of the label holder is made of celluloid or the like, in the form of a clip 332, with feet 333 and 334 and it is fixed to the means of clips 314 along its horizontal center line. The clamp is open upwards and receives a pore-label 335 in celluloid with right foot 336 and folded foot 337. The label holder has an upper pocket 338 closed by means of staples 339.

 <Desc / Clms Page number 18>

 



   Figures 86, 87 and 88 show another variation. The celluloid band 340, forming a clamp, is mounted, by means of the feet 341 and 342, in the direction of the suspended file 311. For this reason, the label holder 43 comprises feet 344 and 345 double folded, coming in taken on feet 341 and .342.



   Figures 89, 90 and 91 show a celoid guide strip 347 which only forms a clamp on its upper edge 346, with correspondingly shaped label holder 346 and feet 349 and 350;
Figures 92, 93 and 94 show an example of an embodiment in which the guide strip is in the form of a clamp 352 on its upper longitudinal part and the label holder 353-354 is only connected to this clamp 352. medium of the foot 355 while the other foot 356 of the label holder engages the fold 321 of the carton 311.

   The drawing shows that a fishplate 357 is at the same time fixed by means of clips 314, in common with the guide strip 351 by externally supporting this strip and, at the same time, by covering the adjoining hanger bar 312, it provides an accordion-like connection with the neighboring hanging file 311.



   Figures 95, 96 and 97 show, as a further variation, a celluloid guide strip 358 which is secured to the hanging backrest 311 by means of clips 314; it engages in a U-shape on the upper marginal fold 321 and it receives, between it and the backrest, a foot 359 also in the form of a U-shaped label holder 360. Also in this case, there is a 357 connecting bar as in figure 92.



   Figures 98, 99 and 100 show yet another variant, the guide strip 366, to reinforce and stiffen the two longitudinal edges 367 and 368, is curved in the form of a liquid drop in the direction of the hanging bag 311.



   This strip 366, of celluloid or similar material, comprises stiffening ribs 369 made by embossing by deforming them correspondingly by the action of heat. These ribs can be made at the places where the stapling of the celluloid guide strip takes place and, advantageously, in the vertical direction or, alternatively, in the form of beads, in the horizontal direction.



   In front of the guide strips, on the other side, the free edge, directed, downwards, of the cardboard of the pocket 311 is also folded downwards with a rolled edge 3700 Behind this reinforced fold 370 and behind the part 308 of the strip 366 engages, in the manner of pliers, coming from both sides, the label holder 371 which carries legs 372 and 373 on both sides of the pocket 311 and, also on the legs, 'stiffening folds 374 and 3750
In addition, the label holder has stiffening ribs 376, preferably in a vertical direction, to prevent, as much as possible, the label holder from collapsing. Instead of using the folded edge of the cardboard; a second guide strip 368 can be provided in the same way.



   Figures 101 and 102 show a variation of the embodiment of Figures 72-75. In this case, the cellulord guide strip, corresponding to Figure 99, has a liquid drop-shaped marginal strip. Likewise, the label holder 377 is also stiffened in the shape of a drop on the legs 378 and 379 which surround above and below the stiffening strip. Further, the label holder is provided with stiffening ribs 380, corresponding to ribs 376 of Fig. 100.



  The guide strip can carry the protruding ribs 369 in such a way that they give at the same time the different positions in which the label holder can be slid. By sliding it laterally the resistance of these ribs is reduced as soon as possible. that the label holder arrives in the free space between the two ribs 3690
Figures 103, 104 and 105 show another exemplary embodiment. Guide strips 381 are attached on both sides of the edge of

 <Desc / Clms Page number 19>

 the filing element 311 by means of the clips 314. The label holder 382 has feet 383 which are folded up and out and with the help of these it engages around the folded parts down the upper longitudinal edge .. of the guide strips 381.

   The ends of the guide strips and of the feet 383 are rolled in the shape of drops to stiffen them. The label holder and the guide strips may have vertical stiffening ribs.



   All suitable embodiments: for vertical filing are applicable, rotating them 90 at the top edge of the filing elements, - lateral filing. The backrests can be placed vertically with the back rest or vertically with the back, forward instead of hanging. In the latter case, the fold of the back constitutes, so to speak, the marginal part on which the guide strips are fixed.



   Figure 69 further shows a new form of the hanger bar 361 with cut top head 362 allowing suspension preferably on tubes or round irons, the hanger bars 361 having reinforcing beads 363 and being arranged in plies 364 of the carton 320; These hanger bars can be made in one operation and are therefore very inexpensive. Their arrangement on the filing elements is also very simple, by threading laterally in the folds 364 by folding the cardboard on its upper edge and stapling in 3650
Figures 106 and 107 show another embodiment of the element system. filing on suspension bars.

   The hanger bars 384, with head parts 385 and 386, are arranged in folds 390, preferably of cardboard, and their head parts pass through upper slots 391 of the folds, to allow hanging bars to be hung. on the. brackets, for example round irons 387. The upward facing head 385 of the hanger bar may be behind the vertical center line of the filing element 388 so that there is excess weight at the front, while the rear head portion 386 has an upwardly open recess serving to receive a stopper 389 with the recess simultaneously serving to guide the filing element.



   Folds 390 of the carton, have lower plies 392, which bring the carton up, and which are folded down again, with free edges 394, at the height of fold 390 to reinforce the top edge 393 as well form. Carton 390 and 393 folded three times at the top edge is stapled above the hanger bar 384, by means of staples 3950 Hence, the two sides of the hanger bar 384, between the various staples or between the folds 390 and 393 there are pocket-shaped openings in which the correspondingly sized tab-shaped projections 396 can engage.

   These protrusions are curved 180 from the filing element and carry, in the folds 397, over the folds 393, the filing elements.



   The filing elements can have the most diverse shapes, in particular the shape of hanging pockets with flexible or fixed horizontal bases.



   Figures 108, 109 ,. 110 and 111 show how the same fastening means 390 comprise, instead of the suspension bar, a metal wire 398 or a round iron bearing on its two lateral ends running rollers 399 with stop members 400. Instead of the rollers 399, it is of course also possible to provide hook-shaped sliding heads of a known type.



   Fig. 112 shows the front part of a hanger bar 401 consisting of a folded metal strip, provided with beads 402 on the two lower ends which go away. On this metal strip, is threaded a metal bracket 4Q3 on -The upper longitudinal edges 404 of which come to bear, on both sides, folds 397 of elements

 <Desc / Clms Page number 20>

 classification 388.

   The metal strip 401 is folded back so that its branches tend to move away from one another. 'The caliper 403 encircling on all sides the metal strip 401 with the folds 396 and 397 which it carries, clamps these 396 between itself and the strip 401 and thereby prevents the Filing element 88 unwittingly detaches from retainer 403 or hanger bar 401. Bottom beads 402 prevent yoke 403 from sliding down. At the same time, the beads increase the clamping effect. The filing elements 388 can be detached from the hanger bars 401 at any time, by pushing up the stirrup 403, thereby removing the blockage.



   There may still be many other embodiments, in particular also combinations of the above embodiments, and these are within the scope of the invention.
