Abstract: A suspension system for use in suspending a plurality of hangers within a storage space of a filing cabinet or the like comprises front and back stationary rails and a plurality of suspension rails. The front and back stationary rails are mounted in a spaced parallel relationship and extend across said storage space. The front and back storage rails each have a lower end at which a suspension flange is formed. The backrail has a plurality of seats formed in its suspension flange at spaced intervals along the length thereof. The suspension rails each have a front end, a back end and an upper and a lower edge extending longitudinally between the front and back ends thereof. Each suspension rail has front and back suspension notches formed in the front and back end of said upper edge to form slipways through which the flanged lower edge of the stationary rails extend.
