Apparatus for supporting and storing engineering drawings and similar large size paper sheets comprising a plurality of longitudinally aligned ring binder assemblies each of which includes a plurality of rings which can be opened and closed and extended through holes formed in the paper sheets to be supported, an elongated support member connected to and arranged in a supporting relation with the binder assemblies and provision for disposing the support member in a horizontal position with the ring binder assemblies extending downwardly therefrom so that the paper sheets hung on the rings can hang downwardly from the rings. In one form of the invention, the elongated support member consists of a clamp assembly of a type presently used for supporting engineering drawings and the like and in another embodiment of the invention, the elongated support member is secured directly to the binder assemblies and is supported from a suspension hook.
Apparatus for supporting and storing large size paper sheets comprising a plurality of longitudinally aligned ring binder assemblies each of which includes a plurality of ring members which can be opened and closed and extended through holes formed in paper sheets to be supported, an elongated support member for said ring binder assemblies, at least one hinge assembly connected to and extending between said ring binder assemblies and said support member to enable pivotal movement of said ring members relative to said support member including means enabling disposition of said support member in a horizontal position with said ring binder assemblies therebelow and extending downwardly therefrom with said ring members extending generally horizontally to one side of said hinge assembly so that paper sheets can hang downwardly from said ring members, said apparatus being movable to a position in which said ring members extend upwardly to one side of said support member to facilitate laying of paper sheets on said ring members on a horizontal table surface.
