Patent number: 10737527Abstract: Adjustable rods for use in a filing system are disclosed. An example adjustment member to be coupled to a rod for use in a filing system includes a hook extending laterally from an end of the adjustment member and a mounting portion including a means for mounting the adjustment member to the rod. The example adjustment member also includes a resilient structure coupled to the hook and the mounting portion. In this example, the resilient structure permits the hook to dynamically move longitudinally and adjust an effective length of the adjustment member by adjusting the length of the resilient structure in response to a lateral displacement imposed on the rod.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2017Date of Patent: August 11, 2020Assignee: LSC Communications US, LLCInventors: Andrew Goodfellow, David Gruza, Christopher Holman, Candie Harris, Braden Jones

Patent number: 9573408Abstract: A hanging file folder for mounting to a pair of spaced apart rails is disclosed. The file folder has a first and second rod with a pair of hook portions on opposing ends thereof for engaging the pair of spaced apart rails. The file folder body has first and second walls forming a pocket for holding materials therein, and is assembled such that the pocket is suspended between the first and second rods. At least one of the first and second rods includes a resilient structure for permitting at least one of the hook portions to move longitudinally and adjust an effective length of its rod for accommodating variances in the angle at which folders are mounted on the rails. The resilient structure may include a tension spring, for example. The hook portions may be movably mounted to the rod and may include the resilient mechanism.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2007Date of Patent: February 21, 2017Assignee: LSC COMMUNICATIONS US, LLCInventors: Andrew Goodfellow, David Gruza, Christopher Holman, Candie Harris, Braden Jones

Patent number: 7802938Abstract: A binder for holding documents is disclosed. The binder has a spine with a pair of cover flaps attached to each side of the spine. Attached to the spine is a latching device, also referred to as a locking device, that includes a first retaining member, a latching member, and a second retaining member. The first and second retaining members are parallel to each other and extend perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the spine. The binder is configured to hold a plurality of document modules, each of which hold a set of documents, which are flexible sheets of material, such as paper or plastic. Each module has first and second ends. The first end is contoured to mate with a portion of an external profile of the first retaining member. The second end attaches to the second retaining member. The latching member moves between a latched position where it engages the first end of the module and an unlatched position where it is not engaged to the first end of said module.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2007Date of Patent: September 28, 2010Assignee: Esselte CorporationInventors: Andrew Goodfellow, David Gruza, Christopher Holman, Candie Harris, Braden Jones
