Definitions
- This invention relates to a suspension file adapted for mounting in multiple numbers across parallel, spaced-apart support rails of a drawer of a filing cabinet.
- Conventional suspension files comprise a 'U'-shaped pocket of card, manilla, plastics or a mix of such materials, with upper edges of the pocket attached to a metallic strip having a notch adjacent each end for location on an adjacent support rail.
- suspension files are frequently overloaded, with inserted paperwork exceeding both the capacity of the pocket and the load bearing capability of the strips, resulting in usually permanent damage and/or deformation to both components.
- a basic object of the invention is the provision of an improved, and heavy duty, suspension file.
- a suspension file comprising a generally 'U'-shaped pocket of flexible, or semi-flexible, synthetic plastics material having a bulbous lower portion, and with the two upper edges of the pocket welded into tubular sleeves, with each sleeve housing a support rod of length exceeding its associated sleeve whereby ends of the rod project beyond each end of the sleeve, with each projecting end being notched to engage a support rail of a drawer of a filing cabinet.
- each body file provides a wider base than a conventional suspension file, allowing loading of more material without the sleeve "shrinking" in overall height, while the support rods can be so formed and/or dimensioned as to be incapable of deformation by weight of the contents of the suspension file alone, thus ensuring maintenance of the shape and integrity of the suspension file, whilst the use of oval rods provides for increased load bearing capacity.
- Each sleeve is formed from a plastics laminate.
- Each sleeve is provided with webbing additives for enhanced strength and tear resistibility.
- Each sleeve extends the full length of each upper edge of its pocket.
- Each sleeve has inner projections adapted to engage an inserted rod to retain a rod in its sleeve, whilst permitting rod-to-sleeve movement as and when required.
- the rods are of solid material.
- the rods are tubular.
- the rods are of synthetic plastics material.
- the rods are of steel.
- the rods are of an aluminium alloy.
- the rods are a combination of metal and plastics eg a metal inner rod, surrounded by a plastics sheath.
- the rods are non-circular.
- the rods are oval, with the major axis adapted to be located vertically.
- the rods slightly exceed the length of each sleeve, so as to enable each end of the rod to project from each end of the sleeve.
- Each rod has an indentation or recess adjacent its end, adapted to engage a portion of a support rail of a filing cabinet drawer with restrained lateral movement, but with provision for sliding movement along the rails.
- a suspension file 1 comprises a 'U'-shaped pocket 2 of flexible synthetic plastics material, being a one piece sheet defining two side panels 3 and an interconnecting bulbous lower portion or base 4.
- the panels 3 have upper edges 5 welded into tubular sleeves 6 extending the full length of each side panel 3. Beneath each tubular sleeve 6 is a length 7 of reinforcing webbing which may also be secured by welding.
- a solid steel rod 8 is of oval section with the major axis vertically located, and of length slightly exceeding the length of the sleeves 6, so that ends 9 opposite of each rod 8 project beyond each end of each sleeve 6.
- the ends 9 are provided with an underside notch 10 to engage a support rail of a drawer of a filing cabinet.
- Each sleeve 6 has inner projections or fingers (not shown) adapted to engage the periphery of its rod 8 to assist in retaining a rod 8 within its sleeve 6.

Abstract
Description
- This invention relates to a suspension file adapted for mounting in multiple numbers across parallel, spaced-apart support rails of a drawer of a filing cabinet.
- Conventional suspension files comprise a 'U'-shaped pocket of card, manilla, plastics or a mix of such materials, with upper edges of the pocket attached to a metallic strip having a notch adjacent each end for location on an adjacent support rail.
- In use, suspension files are frequently overloaded, with inserted paperwork exceeding both the capacity of the pocket and the load bearing capability of the strips, resulting in usually permanent damage and/or deformation to both components.
- A basic object of the invention is the provision of an improved, and heavy duty, suspension file.
- According to the present invention there is provided a suspension file comprising a generally 'U'-shaped pocket of flexible, or semi-flexible, synthetic plastics material having a bulbous lower portion, and with the two upper edges of the pocket welded into tubular sleeves, with each sleeve housing a support rod of length exceeding its associated sleeve whereby ends of the rod project beyond each end of the sleeve, with each projecting end being notched to engage a support rail of a drawer of a filing cabinet.
- The bulbous shape in the lower section of each body file provides a wider base than a conventional suspension file, allowing loading of more material without the sleeve "shrinking" in overall height, while the support rods can be so formed and/or dimensioned as to be incapable of deformation by weight of the contents of the suspension file alone, thus ensuring maintenance of the shape and integrity of the suspension file, whilst the use of oval rods provides for increased load bearing capacity.
- Each sleeve is formed from a plastics laminate.
- Each sleeve is provided with webbing additives for enhanced strength and tear resistibility.
- Each sleeve extends the full length of each upper edge of its pocket.
- Each sleeve has inner projections adapted to engage an inserted rod to retain a rod in its sleeve, whilst permitting rod-to-sleeve movement as and when required.
- The rods are of solid material.
- The rods are tubular.
- The rods are of synthetic plastics material.
- The rods are of steel.
- The rods are of an aluminium alloy.
- The rods are a combination of metal and plastics eg a metal inner rod, surrounded by a plastics sheath.
- The rods are non-circular.
- The rods are oval, with the major axis adapted to be located vertically.
- The rods slightly exceed the length of each sleeve, so as to enable each end of the rod to project from each end of the sleeve.
- Each rod has an indentation or recess adjacent its end, adapted to engage a portion of a support rail of a filing cabinet drawer with restrained lateral movement, but with provision for sliding movement along the rails.
- The invention will now be described in greater detail, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawing, in which:
- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a suspension file in accordance with the invention; and
- Figure 2 is a perspective view of a support rod for the file of Figure 1.
-
- A suspension file 1 comprises a 'U'-shaped pocket 2 of flexible synthetic plastics material, being a one piece sheet defining two
side panels 3 and an interconnecting bulbous lower portion or base 4. Thepanels 3 haveupper edges 5 welded intotubular sleeves 6 extending the full length of eachside panel 3. Beneath eachtubular sleeve 6 is a length 7 of reinforcing webbing which may also be secured by welding. - A
solid steel rod 8 is of oval section with the major axis vertically located, and of length slightly exceeding the length of thesleeves 6, so that ends 9 opposite of eachrod 8 project beyond each end of eachsleeve 6. Theends 9 are provided with anunderside notch 10 to engage a support rail of a drawer of a filing cabinet. Eachsleeve 6 has inner projections or fingers (not shown) adapted to engage the periphery of itsrod 8 to assist in retaining arod 8 within itssleeve 6.
