  • Patent number: 5224608
    Abstract: A filing device hanger bar supports a center hook cartridge binder from its center hook for storage or from either end of the binder in an inverted inclined position for accessing the inner pages of the document bound by the cartridge binder. The hanger bar has a bead flange for supporting a center hook cartridge binder from its center hook for storage and a retention lip above the bead flange for engaging an end of the binder to support the binder in an inverted inclined position for accessing the document bound by the cartridge binder. A support flange above the retention lip supports end hook filing devices for storage, and another retention lip above the support flange may also be used for engaging an end of the binder to support the binder in an inverted inclined position for accessing the document bound by the cartridge binder.

  • Patent number: 4756441
    Abstract: Disclosed is a removable, replaceable assembly for supporting a file system of the type which has a plurality of separator cards each of which is centrally apertured near its bottom to receive a locking rod. The cards are assembled behind the other. The assembly includes a pair of spaced parallel pivot rails (2, 4). Each rail has an upper pivot surface (6) lying in a common plane on which the bottom portions of the cards are supported for pivotal motion. Means (10, 36) join the pivot rails together and are located below the pivot surfaces of the rails. A locking rod (20) is located midway between the pivot rails of extends parallel to the rods and passes through the apertures in the separator card. Rod retaining means (24) extend upwardly from the joining means and are releasably engagable with the locking rod. The retaining means are apertured to position the rod between the rails at or below the plane of the pivot surfaces of the rails.

  • Patent number: 4668027
    Abstract: A system for storing and dispensing a magnetic tape cartridge having a pivotal storage cell (14) which includes a cartridge-discharge end and a cartridge-abutting end. A support (12) is located beneath the cell and pivot means (16) are located intermediate the ends of the cell to permit the cell to pivot on the support means relative to the horizontal. Means are provided to limit the amount of pivotal movement of the cell relative to the horizontal. The center of gravity of the cell is located closer to the cartridge-abutting end than to the cartridge-discharge end so that the cartridge abutting end of the bottom of the cell normally occupies a lower position relative to the horizontal than the discharge end and a cartridge in the bottom of the cell is inclined downwardly against the abutting end of the cell.

  • Patent number: 4604956
    Abstract: An adjustable height table comprising a telescoping table support assembly including stationary and movable posts interconnected in telescoping relationship to one another and positionable by a drive screw and a captive nut. The screw is mounted for rotation about its own axis, and is secured against translation along its axis, relative to one of the posts (preferably, the fixed post) such that its axis of rotation is roughly parallel the direction of the telescoping motion between the two posts. The nut is secured against rotation as the screw is rotated. The nut is provided with a female connection dimensioned to loosely captivate a pin secured to the other post (e.g., in the preferred embodiment, the movable post) so as to be roughly normal to the axis of rotation of the screw. Preferably, the bearing surface between the nut and the pin is minimized and restricted to a region of the nut proximate the surface of the screw.

  • Patent number: 4520976
    Abstract: A new and improved cable bushing including a frame portion, and a detachable filler portion connected to the frame portion, is herein disclosed and claimed. The filler portion includes at least one hinged flap movable between a first position in which the flap is remote from the interior of the frame portion, and a second position in which the flap is disclosed substantially within the frame portion so as to permit a cable to be received therethrough while the frame portion occupies an opening within a unit of office furniture or partition. The filler portion with its flap in its first position has a substantially flat top surface which may be disposed in a coplanar relation with the top or exposed surface of the structure in which the bushing is mounted.
