Abstract: A tray assembly for supporting papers, folder, files, or smaller articles such as vouchers and ticket books includes a plurality of identical tray modules configured to be joined end to end or stacked upon one another. Each tray module includes a plurality of rectangular slots which are slanted with regards to a vertical plane which allows for easy recognition of a top sheet and simplified insertion and removal of sheets and other items to be supported within the slots of the trays. The rectangular slots of each tray module include a plurality of grooves which can receive separators for dividing the rectangular slots into multiple compartments. Additionally, each rectangular slot includes a stop flange, and wherein the stop flanges of the rectangular slots can be used to attach individual tray modules to a vertical surface such as a wall.

Abstract: A tray construction for supporting papers, folders, files, or smaller articles such as vouchers and ticket books comprises modules of a plurality of identical trays adjoined or formed integrally with one another with each tray being supported in height at a slightly different elevation than the adjoining tray so that when the module is self-supported on a horizontal flat surface, the trays are inclined at an angle with respect to the supporting surface rather than standing upright. This prevents paper supported in the tray from bending or collapsing upon itself as it might if the trays were supported vertically and allows easy access to the trays or compartments of the trays which may be created by spacing elements. A number of the modules may be joined together either front to back or vertically. The modules may also be hung on a wall in an inclined attitude.
