Expanding filing box having a sorting function and facilitating a user placing and taking out files
A filing box includes two side boards, and a plurality of expandable file pouches mounted between the two side boards and each having an inside formed with a receiving partition. The receiving partition of each of the expandable file pouches has an open top portion that is cut in an upwardly inclined manner to define an upwardly inclined plane. Thus, the receiving partition of each of the expandable file pouches defines an upwardly inclined plane so that each of the files is partially exposed outwardly from the inclined plane of the receiving partition of the respective expandable file pouch, thereby facilitates a user placing and taking out the files.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a filing box and, more particularly, to an expanding filing box to receive and store files.
2. Description of the Related Art
A conventional filing box 40 in accordance with the prior art shown in
Another conventional filing box 50 in accordance with the prior art shown in
In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a filing box, comprising two side boards, and a plurality of expandable file pouches mounted between the two side boards and each having an inside formed with a receiving partition. The receiving partition of each of the expandable file pouches has an open top portion that is cut in an upwardly inclined manner to define an upwardly inclined plane.
The primary objective of the present invention is to provide an expanding filing box having a sorting function.
Another objective of the present invention is to provide an expanding filing box that facilitates a user placing and taking out files.
A further objective of the present invention is to provide a filing box, wherein each of the sorting pockets is mounted on the receiving partition of the respective expandable file pouch to receive a sorting label, so that each of the files corresponds to a respective sorting label, thereby facilitates the user sorting and finding the files.
A further objective of the present invention is to provide a filing box, wherein the receiving partition of each of the expandable file pouches defines an upwardly inclined plane so that each of the files is partially exposed outwardly from the inclined plane of the receiving partition of the respective expandable file pouch, thereby facilitates a user placing and taking out the files.
Further benefits and advantages of the present invention will become apparent after a careful reading of the detailed description with appropriate reference to the accompanying drawings.
Referring to the drawings and initially to
Each of the two side boards 10 and 20 is made of a hard material, such as plastic material or the like. Each of the two side boards 10 and 20 has a face formed with a drawing slot 11 and 21.
Each of the expandable file pouches 30 is made of a plastic sheet. Each of the expandable file pouches 30 is mounted between the two side boards 10 and 20 by heat fusing or stitching. The receiving partition 31 of each of the expandable file pouches 30 is an individual receiving space. The receiving partition 31 of each of the expandable file pouches 30 has a closed bottom portion, a closed front edge and a closed rear edge. The receiving partition 31 of each of the expandable file pouches 30 has an open top portion that is cut in an upwardly inclined manner to define an upwardly inclined plane 34 which has a height gradually increased from the front edge to the rear edge of each of the expandable file pouches 30.
Each of the sorting pockets 32 is mounted on the open top portion of the receiving partition 31 of the respective expandable file pouch 30 and located adjacent to an uppermost position of the receiving partition 31 of the respective expandable file pouch 30 to receive a sorting label 33.
In operation, referring to
Accordingly, each of the sorting pockets 32 is mounted on the receiving partition 31 of the respective expandable file pouch 30 to receive a sorting label 33, so that each of the files 1 corresponds to a respective sorting label 33, thereby facilitates the user sorting and finding the files 1. In addition, the receiving partition 31 of each of the expandable file pouches 30 defines an upwardly inclined plane 34 so that each of the files 1 is partially exposed outwardly from the inclined plane 34 of the receiving partition 31 of the respective expandable file pouch 30 as shown in
Although the invention has been explained in relation to its preferred embodiment(s) as mentioned above, it is to be understood that many other possible modifications and variations can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. It is, therefore, contemplated that the appended claim or claims will cover such modifications and variations that fall within the true scope of the invention.
