Application filed December 10, 1919. Serial No. 343,735.
T @ZZ whom t may concern.'
Be it known that I, GEORGE D. HAnRAi-i, a citizen of the United Sta-tes, residing at Buft'alo, in the county ofErie and State of New York, have invented new and useful lmproveniente in FilingDevices, of which the following is. a specification.
his invention relates to tiling devices, and more particularly to improvements in spacing means adaptable to filing devices ofthe so-called vertical type. f
The objects of this invention, among others, are toprovide spacing devices which are adaptable to containers which, in manufacture, have not been provided with any sort of spacing devices and also to contain@ erswhich are made with slotted side edges to receive spacers. A further andimportant object of this inventionv is .to provide a standard spacer which is adaptable to lcontainers ot different widths or depths within the ordinary range of sizes,tlie result ofwhich is very material reduction in cost of manufacture and reduction of made-up stock. Furthermore, as will hereafter be seen, this improvement provides spacers which are very strong and durable.` @ther and further objects will appear from the 'following specifications, and the drawings in whichffy F l is a plan view of a sheet-metal strip ready for bending to form the tubular portions.
Fig. 2 is a. vertical cross-section of a container and my improvement.
Fig. 3 is an enlarged cross-section on the line 3-*3 of Fig. 2.
Fig. 4 is a similar view on 4 4 ot Fig. 2.
Fig. 5 is a perspective view of a container provided with my improvement, portions thereof being cut away to show the construction.
llt will be understood that containers, whether in the form of drawers or otherwise, are practically always provided with a longitudinal groove or depression in the bottom to receive a locking-rod. In the drawings have shown in Fig. 2 a container made of wood and in Fig. 5 a container made of sheet metal. These are designated respectively as 1 and 1, and the said ooves or depressions are shown respective y at 2 and 2.
Upon the upper, side tainer are metal control strips 5 which are edges of the con-l either integral with a sheet metal container or secured thereto, and kwhich are secured to said edges when the container is made of wood. rFliese strips 5 have inverted 'l'- shaped slots 6 in their inner sides and said slots extend across the horizontal portions of said strips. lThis construction and means of securing said strips are not made a part of this application excepting in so iar as the same enter into the claimed combinations.
Secured to the bottoms of the containers are` metal strips 7 which have longitudinal slots of the fsame, or approximately the same, length asthe horizontal parts of the slots 6. These strips are secured so that the slots overlap` 'thegrooves2 or 2 for the purpose which will hereafter appear.
I will now describe my improved spacers; and the same will be best understood it' described, in part, by the method ofconstruction. Strips of sheet metal 8, as shown in Fig l,`hav e the cuttings or incisions 9, which, as shown, leave the central portion of the strip intact, rihese strips are then bent or rolled upwardly, the central portion between the incisions being made elliptical as 'shown on Figf-S, and the endportions downwardly to engage and hold in the slots 6 have their inner ends iiattened, as shown at 11 in Figs. 2 and 3, and slide within the central portion so that the same may be adjusted to fit a container of any width.
A wire l2, having a loop 13 quarter turned to engage in a slot in the metal strip '7, has its ends 12 bent upwardly at right angles and these ends lit within the portions 8 and it suiiiciently snugly not to move out of adjustment, but which may be adjusted to lit containers of di'erent depths.
The object in having the flattened portions 11 on the wires 11 is to prevent them from' turning in the central portion 8 so that their downwardly-bent ends might slip out of the T-slots; but it is to be under-
