Rail-mounted hanging file arrangement

An arrangement comprising:

• a worksurface having longitudinally extending front and rear edges and defining thereon an enlarged and substantially horizontal upper surface;
• a support rail assembly mounted on said worksurface adjacent the rear edge thereof and including an elongate support rail which is stationarily disposed adjacent but in upwardly spaced relation relative to said rear edge so as to extend generally parallel thereto, and an upright support extending vertically between said worksurface and said support rail for securing the support rail relative to the worksurface;
• said support rail defining therein a groove which extends longitudinally therealong, said groove opening transversely relative to the lengthwise extent of the support rail so as to terminate at a mouth;
• and
• a support frame mounted on said support rail for suspended support of at least one hanging file thereon, said support frame being defined by an elongate cross element which is disposed rearwardly of said support rail and extends substantially parallel to said support rail and which at opposite ends is rigidly joined to a pair of side elements which extend generally perpendicularly relative to the cross element, said side elements defining thereon elongate portions for accommodating hangers associated with suspended file folders, said side elements at ends thereof terminating in short cantilevered projections which project into and seat within said groove so as to stably but removably support said frame on said support rail, whereby file folders supported on said side elements can be suspended downwardly behind said support rail.

A hanging file arrangement for use with a worksurface having an enlarged upper surface, said hanging file arrangement comprising:

• a support structure including an elongate support rail stationarily positioned on the worksurface, the support rail being positioned in close proximity to and extending generally parallel with one elongate edge of said worksurface, said support rail having a slot which extends longitudinally thereof in generally parallel relation with said one edge and which opens transversely of the rail;
• a file-hanging frame releasably supported on said support rail to enable hanging-type file folders to be suspended from the frame adjacent and outwardly from said support rail;
• said file-hanging frame including a pair of sidewardly spaced-apart and generally horizontally projecting parallel side legs which are disposed above said support rail and which project transversely outwardly away from said support rail, whereby hanging file folders are supported on and extend between said side legs and are suspended downward at a location adjacent said one edge of said worksurface;
• said frame further including a cross leg which extends transversely between and is joined to said pair of side legs adjacent rearward ends thereof;
• said frame also including a pair of front legs which at upper ends thereof are joined to front ends of the respective side legs, said front legs projecting transversely downwardly relative to said side legs and having lower segments which project into and are releasably secured in said slot of said support rail so that said frame is supported solely by the engagement of the lower segments of the front legs in the slot.

A hanging file arrangement for use with a worksurface having an enlarged upper surface, said hanging file arrangement comprising:

• a support structure adapted to be stationarily positioned on the worksurface, said support structure including an elongated slot defined by upper and lower walls which opens forwardly of said support structure;
• a file-hanging frame releasably supported on said support structure to enable a hanging-type file folder to be suspended from the frame adjacent said support structure;
• said file-hanging frame including a pair of sidewardly spaced-apart and generally horizontally projecting side legs which are disposed in upwardly spaced relation from said support structure;
• said frame also including a pair of front legs which at upper ends thereof are joined to front ends of the respective side legs, said front legs projecting transversely relative to said side legs and having lower segments, said slot receiving the lower segments of each of said front legs which project rearwardly directly into said slot so as to each be sandwiched between said upper and lower walls.
