2 ClaimS.
The present invention appertains broadly to a filing device and more particularly to means for use in a file drawer or the like whereby files and folders may be disposed in groups so that they stand neatly upright and are plainly visible and whereby time is saved in iiling and finding.
The device also aims to provide means which will prevent the folders orles from becoming ragged and ilumped.
A further object of the invention resides in the provision of a device of this nature which is exceedingly simple in its construction, inexpensive to manufacture, strong and durable, easy to manipulate, and otherwise thoroughly efficient and reliable for the purpose intended.
With the above and numerous other objects in view as will appear as the description prol ceeds, the invention consists in certain novel features of construction, and in the combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described and claimed.
In the drawings:-
Figure l is a side 'elevation of a file drawer showing a plurality of my devices mounted therein.
*Figure 2 is a top plan view thereof.
Figure 3 is a vertical transverse section therethrough taken substantially on the line 3- 3 of Figure 2.
Figure 4 is a perspective view of one of the devices embodying the features of our invention.
Referring to the drawings in detail it will be seen that the numeral A denotes a conventional filing drawer having the conventional removable rod B mounted therein.
In each drawer a plurality of our devices would be used. However, a detailed description of one will suflice for all.
Now referring specifically to one of these devices it will be seen that the major portion thereof is formed from a single strand of metallic material which is bent intermediate its ends to form a vertical elongated loop 5 the upper ends of which merge into upwardly diverging extensions 6 which, in turn, merge into outwardly and laterally disposed extensions 'I substantially horizontal. The extensions 'l merge into depending extensions 8 terminating at a level slightly above the lower end of the loop- 5. The loop 5 and the extensions 6, 7 and 8 are all in the same vertical plane. The lower ends of the extensions 3 merge into right angularly extending portions 9 in spaced co-extensive parallelism with each other and these extensions 9 merge into inwardly directed extensions I and I l, the terminals of which are welded together as at I2. The extension I0 is formed with an eye I4 aligned with the bottom end of the loop 5. The rod 6 is adapted to be extended through the eye I4 and through the lower end of the loop 5. A U-shaped horizontal frame I has its ends welded to the extensions IIl and II equi-distant from the eye I 4 and extends so as to abut the loop 5. This frame l5 is in the same horizontal plane with the extensions 9 and the extension I0 and I I. The eye I is in a substantially vertical plane parallel with the plane of the loop 5. The parts 9, Ill, and II form the horizontal U-shaped frame mentioned in claim 2 and the parts I5, I and 8 having intermediate portion 5 represent the vertical or second-mention frame in claim 2.
These devices are placed in the drawer as shown to advantage in Figure 2 thereby'forming a plurality of compartments so that the les o-r folders may be arranged in relatively small groups and thereby be in an upstanding or upright position to facilitate filing and finding thereof and also obtaining neatness and less wear and tear on the files or folders. f It is thought that the construction, operation, utility and advantages of this invention will now be quite apparent to those skilled in this art without a more detailed description thereof.
The present embodiment of the invention has been described in considerable detail merely for the purposes of exemplication since in actual practice it attains the features of advantage enumerated as desirable in the statement'of the invention and the above description.
It will be apparent that changes in the details of construction, and in the combination and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention or sacricing any of its advantages so long as such changes fall within the scope of the ap'- pended claims.
Having thus described our invention, what we claim as new is:-
1. A device of the class described having one part formed from a single strand of material bent to provide an elongated intermediate loop disposed vertically and merging at its upper end into upwardly diverging extensions which, in turn, merge into outwardly directed horizontal extensions which, in turn, merge into depending vertical extensions, all of said extensions being in the same vertical plane, the last mentioned extensions merging into spaced parallel co-extensive horizontal extensions which, in turn, merge into inwardly directed extensions the ends ing downwardly in an elongated loop terminating below the plane of the horizontal frame, a third frame extending from the cross portion of the rst-mentioned frame to the downwardly extending portion of the second-mentioned frame, the center of the cross portion of the rst-mentioned frame being formed with an eye so that the removable rod of a filing drawer may be extended through the eye and the lower portion of the elongated loop.
