Definitions

  • the drawings are filed in vertical folders suspended in filing cabinets.
  • the drawings tend to curl and to sink to the bottom of the folders so that they may be damaged or even spoilt.
  • Both these types of filing arrangements furthermore have a rather limited capacity for a given floor area.
  • the invention has for its object to overcome the disad vantages of the horizontal as well as the vertical filing systems by providing a novel drawing filing arrangement which permits the filing of a very great number of drawings within a relatively small floor area without rendering their handling any more difficult, but on the contrary facilitating it, said novel arrangement being also such that the risk for damaging or destroying the drawings is eliminated.
  • shelves for stacking the drawings are disposed with an inclination of about 45 backwards-downwards, and folders are provided for the filing of the drawings on said shelves, said folders being made of a thin and comparatively stiff material, such as cardboard or pasteboard which may be coated with a protective layer.
  • FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic elevation view of the supporting structure and shelf arrangement of a filing cabinet according to the invention
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 are views of a shelf front support, on a greater scale
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 are corresponding views of a shelf rear support
  • FIG. 6 is a vertical section through the webs of a front and a back structural member with shelves and folders
  • FIG. 7 is a top plan view of a shelf
  • FIG. 8 is a view from above of the interior of the filing cabinet as illustrated in FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 1 the diagrammatically illustrated frame structure for a steel cabinet is denoted 1, and shelves 2 are disposed therein with an inclination of about 45 with the forward edge uppermost and the rear edge lowermost. Drawings which are put on the shelves slide downwards against the cabinet rear wall on account of the rather steep inclination which is clearly illustrated in FIG. 6 wherein also are shown folders 3 of a comparatively stiff sheet material such as cardboard.
  • the folders 3 are used for accommodating the drawings which being made on paper or like material have no inherent stiffness of their own.
  • FIG. 6 The drawings to be filed are of relatively large size as can be seen in FIG. 6 from a comparison between the size of the folders 3 and the human hand shown.
  • leaf springs 4 which are secured by one end to the underside of the shelves 2, and are curved in such a manner as to lightly press the folders 3 together. The other end of the spring slides freely on the underside of the shelf, and the spring accordingly may readily adapt itself to the thickness of the stack of folders on any given shelf.
  • each shelf is easy to elevate somewhat at the front edge (as far as the overlying shelf permits) which facilitates the handling of the drawing folders 3 (FIG. 6).
  • the metal wire forming the shelves may be coated with a protective layer of paint, synthetic resin, or the like.
  • the shelves be made in other forms than latticework and thus, for instance, may be made of boards with edge fittings for the engagement with the supporting structure.
  • the folders 3 may be provided at the front edge with tag holders of plastic or metal (not illustrated) which may also be formed with finger grips for handling the folders.
  • a cabinet for filing relatively large size drawings made on paper and like material having no inherent stiffness characteristic comprising a supporting structure of vertical channel members at the front and the back of the cabinet, respectively, and filing shelves formed as lattice-work, there being recesses in the front channel members for taking up the front member of said 1,416,288 /22 Harrah 129-46 shelves and pivotal connections between the aft member 7 1,983,577 12/34 Straubel 12916 of said shelves and the back channel m mbers, said 2,233,938 3/41 Jones 129' 16 shelves being supported by said channel members With 2 392 771 11 42- H b- 124 a backward-downward inclination of about 45, and being 5 2,334,633 9/45 Markowski X adapted to be tilted about said pivotal connections when 2 950 541 8/60 Dement X raised at the front edge, and folder means for the drawings 3023907 3/62 ROSS of a relatively stiff sheet material, adapted to accommodate
