Definitions

  • Realization of the invention in various constructional forms stems from the concept that changing the attitude of parallel members from which files are suspended can be utilized to cater for minimal storage space and easy selection and removal of a required file.
  • a file suspension unit comprising a substantially rectangular frame, two opposite side members of which are provided with matching series of retaining means for tile suspension bars, means for pivotally suspending a third side of the frame from a fixed suspension point with the said two opposite sides substantially vertical and strut means pivoted to the frame to abut a vertical surface and support the frame with the said two opposite side members at an acute angle to the vertical.
  • the invention provides a file suspension unit including a pair of parallel side members provided with a plurality of oppositely disposed retainersfor the support of the suspension bars of a number of tiles, means for hanging the unit with the said side members substantially vertical, strut means pivoted to the side members near both ends thereof and interengageable to form a triangular structure which may abut a vertical surface from which the unit may hang to maintain the side members at an acute angle relative thereto, the said strut means, when disengaged from each other, forming substantially vertical supports for maintaining the side members substantially horizontal when they are both disposed upon a flat surface.
  • the major components of the unit are made from stiff wire and/or metal plate which may be plated, painted or coated with plastics material.
  • the unit is fitted withstrut means for support of the frame on a table top or similar horizontal surface, the files will be hanging at mamimum horizontal spread.
  • FIG. 1 is a frontal elevation of a unit fully folded for suspension
  • FIG. 2 is a side view of FIG. 1,
  • FIG. 3 is a side view of the unit supported by interengaged struts against a vertical surface to position fileretaining bars thereof at an angle thereto, and
  • FIG. 4 is a side view of the unit supported by the struts thereof upon a horizontal surface.
  • the unit illustrated in the drawings is designed to take nine files of known and readily available construction.
  • It has a substantially rectangular frame comprised by a horizontal bent wire structure 1 to which are welded side members 2 and 3 stamped from sheet metal and a base member 4 of bent wire welded to the lower ends of the side members.
  • a hook 5 of familiar coat-hanger form is welded to the center of the structure 1 and enables the unitto be hung from a wall hook, nail, wardrobe-hanging-bar or the like.
  • the side members 2 and 3 are formed with matching series of file-retaining members 6 and an upper stop 7.
  • the lowermembers 4 is forwardly cranked as can be seen from the sideviews, and files supended from the retainers 6 lie behind the forward horizontal part in a neat overlapping relationship with the suspension bars of lower files displaced progressively further forward along the upper sloped surfaces of the retainers 6.
  • First strut means 8 is made from similar wire as the frame members 1 and 4. Its ends are welded to plate metal lugs 9 which are pivoted on hollow rivets 10. When not in use, the strut may be maintained in a stowed position by springing its upper horizontal part beneath the lowerend of the hook 5. Second strut means 11 are pivoted to hollow rivets 12 through the medium of lugs 13.
  • the unit When both struts 8 and 11 are lowered independently of each other, the unit may stand upon a flat surface as shown in FIG. 4, and files, the first of which is prevented from sliding off by the stops 7, are similarly easily handled and identified.
  • a file suspension unit including a pair of parallel side members provided with a plurality of oppositely disposed retainers for the support of the suspension bars of a number of files, means for hanging 'the unit with the said side members substantially vertical, strut means pivoted to the side members near both ends thereof and interengageable to form a triangular structure which may abut a vertical surface from which the unit may hang to maintain the side members at an acute angle relative thereto, the said strut means, when disengaged from each other, forming substantially vertical supports for maintaining the side members substantially horizontal when they are both disposed upon a flat surface.
