Hanging file folder support structure

Abstract

A structure for supporting hanging file folders in a file drawer. The structure includes a pair of wire members which are adapted to be installed in a file drawer in lateral spaced relation to each other. Each wire member includes an elongated generally straight center portion which receives and supports the file folders and a leg positioned at each end of the center portion. Each of the legs is in the shape of an inverted L and includes a horizontally extending portion which connects to the center portion of the wire member. This horizontally extending portion projects at right angles to the center portion. A vertical portion of each leg which connects to the horizontal portion of its leg is adapted to be inserted in supporting bosses. The supporting bosses may be formed in rectangular plates located at each end of the pair of wire members or may be formed in the end panels of the file drawer. The wire members are formed of stock having a transverse cross section of generally rectangular shape.
