Abstract
Adjustable frames for use with hanging folders and related methods are disclosed herein. An example apparatus includes an adjustable frame for hanging folders. The frame is to couple to a first rail and a second rail spaced relative to each other to cooperatively receive a first folder. The frame is movable between an expanded position and a contracted position to enable the first and second rails to receive a second folder sized differently relative to the first folder. The example apparatus also includes a receptacle disposed on the frame to receive a first clip for coupling the first rail to the frame.
Claims21
An apparatus comprising:
- an adjustable frame for hanging folders, the frame to couple to a first rail and a second rail spaced relative to each other to cooperatively receive a first folder, wherein the frame is movable between an expanded position and a contracted position to enable the first and second rails to receive a second folder sized differently relative to the first folder;
- and
- a receptacle disposed on the frame to receive a first clip for coupling the first rail to the frame.
An apparatus for hanging folders, comprising:
- a frame having a first portion movable relative to a second portion, the first portion to receive a first rail and the second portion to receive a second rail to support a folder;
- and
- a track interposed between at least a portion of the first portion and at least a portion the second portion to guide movement thereof,
- wherein the track includes a first wall, a second wall, and an intermediate surface positioned therebetween to cooperatively receive at least a portion of an outer surface of the first portion and an outer surface of the second portion,
- wherein the track is slidably coupled to the first portion and the second portion to define an expanded position and a contracted position of the frame.
An apparatus to hang folders, comprising:
- a first rail coupled to an adjustable frame for hanging folders, the first rail to receive a portion of a folder supported between the first rail and a second rail coupled to the frame, wherein the frame is moveable between an expanded position and a contracted position to change a distance between the first and second rails corresponding to a size of the folder;
- and
- a clip interposed between the frame and the first rail to fix an orientation of the first rail relative to the second rail.
