Abstract
An arrangement for filing records in which a fastener, provided with two flexible fastening prongs passing through holes in the records, is maintained in a slot on a fastener carrier, whereby a guide channel located inside the wall of a slot and parallel to the fastener plane, is provided to accommodate the central bead of the fastener and also the openings for the passage of fastening prongs which extend through to reach the bearing surface of the fastener carrier. The technical problems in this case are to configure the filing arrangement so that changing the fastener does not require it to be removed from the fastener carrier itself, and to allow the fastener to be firmly secured without the help of any additional accessories. A flexible flap (12) is arranged opposite the guide channel (9)--see FIG. 1.
