Abstract: A file substrate of paper stock such as a file backer or file folder having a reinforced edge portion is disclosed. Such file substrate has at least one straight edge with a tear resistant plastic film secured either side of the substrate and about the straight edge. This film reinforces the substrate straight edge without significantly increasing the thickness thereof. A colored adhesive may be used for securing a clear reinforcing film to the folder. This provides a color band down a side of the folder to distinguish a group of files in a file system. Method and apparatus are disclosed for applying the reinforcing film to file folder blanks.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an arrangement for hanging folders including an upright support for a pair of rails spaced apart to receive the folders. In one upright position of the structure the rails are supported at a first spacing for hanging folders of one size and when the structure is inverted the rails are supported at a second spacing different from the first spacing for hanging folders of another size.

Abstract: This invention relates to an improved golf ball retriever of the type which may be lowered directly over the ball. The retriever has a telescopic handle for reaching into water hazards and the like. The handle is pivotally connected to a body member which has a pair of lower forwardly extending curved arms and a retaining ring pivotally connected at its rear to the body member at a point above the plane of the curved arms. Thus the retaining ring normally slopes forwardly downward and rests on the ends of the curved arms. The ring is slightly larger in diameter than a golf ball and when the retriever is lowered over a golf ball, the ring pivots slightly upward to increase the effective size of the opening between it and the curved arms to allow the ball to pass therethrough. When it has, the ring drops down past the outside of the ball, and the retriever is then lifted upwards with the ball engaged by the ring and the curved arms.

Abstract: A frame for hanging file folders is adjustable both longitudinally and laterally. Longitudinal rails for suspending the folders are in detented engagement with through sockets in side members of end frames, the side members of the end frames being connected by telescopic cross members.

Abstract: In a collapsible filing box comprising a sleeve containing a drawer, the sleeve is reinforced so as to require no internal liner and no support from the drawer. To this end, flaps at the front end of the side panels of the sleeve are folded upon themselves to form reinforcing pillars within the mouth of the sleeve and supporting the top panel of the sleeve, and flaps closing the rear of the sleeve extend between the bottom and top panels of the sleeve to provide further support for the latter.
