Abstract
A hanging file support structure for the drawer of a file cabinet comprises a hangrail and a bracket for supporting the hangrail in a generally horizontal position within the drawer. The bracket is generally C-shaped in cross-section and has pairs of hooks extended from edges thereof which are received in slots provided in a wall of the drawer. Two sets of slots are provided in the wall of the drawer such that the bracket may selectively be supported in either of two positions thereby defining two separate positions for the hangrail to accommodate hanging file folders of different widths.
