Abstract
A filing device comprising suspension bar (60) with hooked end sections (64) is disclosed whereby the bar enables suspension of a booklet (70) from suspension rails (68) of a hanging-type filing system. A booklet essentially straddles the bar and can be attached to it permanently or semi-permanently. Single sheet documents can be also attached to the bar with an adhesive strip (62). Variations of the bar include ones with movable hook sections: pivotable (84), slidable (120), and hinged (130). Retainers are provided to releasably secure the hook sections in deployed and stowed positions. In two of its variations, the bar (160) can be permanently installed inside a booklet during binding operation, to become its integral part.

In a rail-based suspension filing system, a booklet suspension device comprising an essentially flat elongated body member, said body member comprising:
- (a) front surface,
- (b) back surface,
- said front surface essentially parallel to said back surface, said body member further having suspension members on opposite ends, said suspension members interfaceable with supporting rails, said suspension members pivotable around axes perpendicular to said front surface of said body member between (1) a first deployed position, and (2) a second stowed position, said suspension members having essentially hooked end sections.
In a rail-based suspension filing system, a booklet suspension device comprising an essentially flat elongated body member, said body member comprising:
- (a) front surface
- (b) back surface,
- said front surface essentially parallel to said back surface, said body member further having suspension members on opposite ends, said suspension members interfaceable with supporting rails, said suspension members retractable with respect to said body member between (1) a first deployed position, and (2) a second stowed position, said suspension members having essentially hooked end sections wherein said body member comprises essentially an open channel, said open channel further comprising a rear member, an upper member and a lower member, said upper member and said lower member further containing longitudinal grooves to retain said suspension members within said open channel, said suspension members slide inside said open channel, said open channel providing support for said suspension members in the deployed position, said device further comprising detent means to releasably secure said suspension members in the deployed and the stowed positions.
In a rail-based suspension filing system, a booklet suspension device comprising an essentially falt elongated body member, said body member comprising:
- (a) front surface,
- (b) back surface,
- said front surface essentially parallel to said back surface, said body member further having suspension members on opposite ends, said suspension members interfaceable with supporting rails, said suspension members foldably hinged along axes parallel to said front surface of said body member and perpendicular to the longest dimension of said body member, said suspension members capable of being folded and unfolded with respect to said body member between (1) a first deployed position, and (2) a second stowed position, said body member having hinge sites essentially adjacent to the suspension members, said hinge sites located essentially inside the booklet, said suspension members having essentially hooked end sections.
