Abstract: A portable filing device comprises a bag which can be opened out to be flat, a hook for suspending the bag, a spine extending across the bag, two straps hanging from the ends of the spine, and a series of hanging pouches spaced along the straps. Each pouch is attached to the straps at the ends of its top edge, and has an aperture along its top edge. The pouches are detachable. For transportation, the pouches are gathered into a stack, with the straps forming concertina folds, and the bag is folded around the stack and fastened shut. The device, among other applications, enables travellers to keep papers and belongings in order. A labelling means comprises an elongate stiffly flexible label or label holder which by bowing can be inserted in or removed from an undercut seating.
