Abstract: A system for the vertical display of information provided on a plurality of cards or similar display members includes an extended heads on each display member. The extended heads are supported on each side by a pair of parallel slideways. Each slideway includes a plurality of vertical supports spaced therealong and paired with a support on the other slideway. Thus, a respective pair of supports serves to support an extended head of a display member and a series of display members so supported is created. A cascading mechanism is also provided for sequentially moving each display member in a cascade to a lower pair of supports when a new display member is introduced into the pair of slideways.

Abstract: The invention relates to a card index which can be fixed to a vertical wall or vertically mounted on a base, in which the index cards are held by means of clamping devices in a receiving compartment formed in covered manner in the upper part of the index casing and are individually released on operating a selection key and transferred into the lower area of the casing provided with a window-like opening for inspection, the cards being secured and locked in the clamping device, so that a reliable release of the selected cards is possible, including those cards made from a material with a smooth surface such as e.g. plastics foil and in which incorrect manipulations are not possible.

Abstract: A directory casing comprising a base supporting an unbound stack of tab-indexed cards thereon, and a top cover pivotally coupled at its rear end to the base, with the tabs of the cards projecting forwardly out of the top cover. Upon manual depression of any selected tab, the top cover opens automatically with the card or cards overlying the card having the selected tab. In the directory casing of this general character, the invention provides means for holding the stack of cards in rearwardly declining disposition on the base, whereby when any selected tab is depressed, a comparatively great spacing is formed between the card having the selected tab and the overlying card or cards, and failure-proof opening of the top cover is assured.
