Filing system for vertically suspending documents

A filing cabinet for vertically suspending sheets wherein said filing cabinet is supported solely by a horizontal supporting surface such as a floor, said filing cabinet comprising:

• a first frame having a first base supported by the supporting surface and a first vertical side mounted at the bottom end thereof to one end of said first base;
• a second frame having a second base supported by the supporting surface and a second vertical side mounted at the bottom end thereof to one end of said second base;
• means for telescopically engaging and supporting said second base by said first base such that said other end of said second base is cooperatively engaged with said other end of said first base and such that said first and second frames can be relatively separated to open said filing cabinet and can be relatively combined to close said filing cabinet, said engaging and supporting means comprising laterally spaced apart track members mounted on said first base and laterally spaced apart roller means mounted on said second base for correspondingly engaging said track members for movably supporting said other end of said second base;
• means for movably supporting said cabinet on the supporting surface;
• a single coplanar row of cantilever means for supporting the sheets, and comprising at least two, laterally spaced apart groups of substantially straight horizontally and longitudinally extending cantilevered bars, each said group of bars comprising at least first and second laterally spaced apart bars, said first ones of each group of bars being rigidly mounted to the top end portion of said first side and said second ones of each group of bars being rigidly mounted to the top end portion of said second side, said bars being for conjointly suspending the sheets at one end of the sheets;
• and
• sheet suspension means comprising a plurality of orifices for cooperating with said bars to suspend sheets therefrom.
