  • 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.

  • Patent number: 3936201
    Abstract: A hanger and sheet lifter for ring binders or the like whereby the ring binder may be hung on spaced parallel rails conventionally employed in many filing systems. The hanger is defined by an elongated member having a length greater than the length of the spine of the ring binder with which it is to be used. The ends of the member are provided with hooks which open in the same direction. The member also includes a plurality of slots corresponding in number to the number of rings in the ring binder in which it is to be used and which extends longitudinally of the member. The length of the slot is such that the hanger can move from a position wherein both hooks extend outwardly from opposite ends of the spine of the ring binder to a position wherein one of the hooks is wholly received within the ring binder to enable the ring binder to be stood on end without the lowermost hook interfering with the supporting surface.
