Abstract
The present invention provides a file hanging system consisting of a file edge backing member provided with a T-shaped portion having a pair of essentially identical arm portions and a bracket provided with a groove for engaging either one of the arm portions. The bracket includes a base flange and the file edge backing is provided with a raised portion to either side of the T-shaped portion. The system is one in which a file to which the file edge backing is affixed moves through file imbalance to a secured position on the bracket where the bracket base flange is trapped between the T-shaped portion and the raised portion on the file edge backing.
