Abstract
A file suspension device for holding hanging file folders in a box. The file suspension device includes a frame. The frame has an elongate first rod, an elongate second rod, an elongate third rod and an elongate fourth rod. A fastening structure is provided on at least two of the rods for removably fastening each of the at least two rods on the top edge of one of the walls of the box. The fastening structure pinches an upper portion of the wall when the fastening structure is fastened to the wall for retaining an associated rod on the wall.
Claims16
A file suspension device for removably fastening to a box to suspend files therefrom, the box being of the type having four vertical walls, each of the walls having a top edge, the device comprising:
- a frame having an elongate first rod, an elongate second rod, an elongate third rod and an elongate fourth rod;
- and
- fastening means on at least two of the rods for removably fastening each of the at least two rods on the top edge of one of the walls of the box, the fastening means being adapted to pinch an upper portion of the wall when the fastening means is fastened to the wall for retaining an associated rod on the wall;
- wherein each of the rods has a transverse cross section taken perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the rods that is generally circular in shape.
A file suspension device for removably fastening to a box to suspend files therefrom, the box being of the type having four vertical walls, each of the walls having a top edge, the device comprising:
- a frame having an elongate first rod, an elongate second rod, an elongate third rod and an elongate fourth rod;
- and
- fastening means on at least two of the rods for removably fastening each of the at least two rods on the ton edge of one of the walls of the box, the fastening means being adapted to pinch an upper portion of the wall when the fastening means is fastened to the wall for retaining an associated rod on the wall;
- wherein each of the rods has a transverse cross section taken perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the rods that is generally triangular in shape.

- a frame having an elongate first rod, an elongate second rod, an elongate third rod and an elongate fourth rods;
- and
- fastening means on at least two of the rods for removably fastening each of the at least two rods on the top edge of one of the walls of the box, the fastening means being adapted to pinch an upper portion of the wall when the fastening means is fastened to the wall for retaining an associated rod on the wall;
- wherein each of the rods has a transverse cross section taken perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the rods with an upper surface having a domed shape.
A file suspension device for removably fastening to a box to suspend files therefrom, the box being of the type having four vertical walls, each of the walls having a top edge, the device comprising:
- a frame having an elongate first rod, an elongate second rod, an elongate third rod and an elongate fourth rod, each of the rods being coupled together such that the frame generally has a rectangular shape;
- and
- fastening means on at least two of the rods for removably fastening each of the at least two rods on the top edge of one of the walls of the box, the fastening means being adapted to pinch an upper portion of the wall when the fastening means is fastened to the wall for retaining an associated rod on the wall;
- wherein each of the fastening means comprises a clip member being coupled to one of the rods, the clip member comprising a first portion and a second portion forming a gap therebetween for receiving the top portion of the wall of the box;
- wherein each of the first and second portions are formed from a resiliently flexible material such that the first and second portions are resiliently biased towards each other when the portions are pushed away from each other by insertion of one of the walls into the gap;
- wherein the first and second portions extend downwardly in a substantially parallel relationship from a bottom surface of each of the rods;
- wherein each of the first and second portions has at least one gripping rib mounted thereon and extending into the gap for resisting sliding movement of the top portion of the wall of the box from sliding with respect to the first and second portions;
- wherein the clip member extends for substantially an entire length of the associated rod;
- and
- wherein each of the rods has a transverse cross section taken perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the rods that is generally triangular in shape.
