  • Patent number: 4231175
    Abstract: Microfiche cards and the like are held in a file enclosure between file-segregator cards. The segregator cards are shaped to fit on and slide along longitudinal rails. To promote fanning of the segregator cards when they are compressed in a particular way, they have added thickness in a zone near their bottom edges. Two independently adjustable compressors are provided, one above and one below the added-thickness zone. By manipulation of the compressors a user can fan the file to a desired extent, controlling the fraction of the group of segregator cards which fans, and the angle between the adjacent fanned segregator cards, or can maintain the file tightly closed.
