Abstract: A hanging file system for supporting ring binders vertically in a file drawer, the system comprising a hanging file frame having laterally extending support rails, devices which are removably inserted into the ring binders for supporting the ring binders on the laterally extending support rails, and an apparatus for supporting and retaining the hanging file frame a selected distance above tile bottom of the file drawer. The apparatus for supporting the hanging file frame a selected distance above the bottom of the file drawer includes a plurality of support members, each being adapted to retain and support a separate corner of the hanging file frame. Each support member has a plurality of frame-receiving slots formed therein for receiving portions of the hanging file frame.

Abstract: A device for supporting a ring binder vertically within a hanging file system of the type having laterally extending support rails, the device being suitable for use with conventional ring binders of the type having a spine and a ring mechanism secured to the spine by two or more fasteners. The device includes a thin, U-shaped support bracket adapted to be removably inserted between the spine of the ring binder and the ring mechanism of the ring binder. The U-shaped support bracket has a medial portion, a hook-like portion, and first and second elongate arms extending from the medial portion. The first and second elongate arms are spaced apart from one another and define an opening therebetween which is sized and adapted to receive therein one of the fasteners of the ring binder.
