  • Patent number: 4005797
    Abstract: A molded plastic card file drawer having a bottom wall, two side walls, a back wall, and a front wall. A rib extends along the upper edge of each side wall, the ribs projecting toward each other and being spaced apart a distance equal to the length of the cards with which the drawer is to be used. A support for cards within the drawer has end pieces each slidably arranged between one of the ribs and the drawer bottom wall. A space is provided between the front end of each rib and the drawer front wall to permit the support end pieces to pass through as the support is being inserted into the drawer. The front wall and support have aligned holes for accommodating a bar which passes through similar holes in the cards. The support may be locked in different selected positions along the length of the drawer.

  • Patent number: 3999819
    Abstract: File folders and filing cabinet drawer dividers (as will be referred to hereinafter as "separators") made of relatively thin and inexpensive paper stock which are vertically reinforced by an improved stiffening means which also furnishes (or reinforces) the conventional type upstanding file contents identification device, and which include folded-over upper end portions which further reinforce the identification "tab" against bending/wear stresses. The folded-over portion is also so formed as to provide a rearwardly extending abutment which acts to space apart like separators when adjacently disposed in a filing drawer or the like. Thus, the separators are with improved facility individually identifiable and grasped by the user for withdrawal purposes; as well as being relatively inexpensive to maufacture while being of improved stiffness in requisite respects.
