| 20090045246 | Folder With Gusset - A hanging pocket folder for use with support rails is disclosed. The disclosure includes a method and structure for preventing the side walls thereof from being damaged when the folder is withdrawn from a rail support system. Prior art systems did not recognize the problem of snagging sidewalls with withdrawal. The present disclosure provides for side walls which preferably exceed the height of the lower edge of the support rails and thus never snag on withdrawal despite the fact that the accordion sidewall may easily be deformed from use. A further embodiment discloses an elastic sidewall and integral tabs. | 02-19-2009 |

| 20110108611 | PORTABLE FILE FOLDER WITH HANGING FUNCTIONS - A portable file folder with hanging functions has a file folder body, an integral hand-held portion, a strap locator, a strap body and a file resting portion; the integral hand-held portion is composed of through-holes opened on the bulges of two folder covers, thus reducing the cost and maintaining the portability; the strap locator contains an extension stopper with spacing hole and a strap fastener with a mating portion; moreover, the spacing hole is opened at the center of the extension stopper, and both ends of the strap body are penetrated into the spacing hole and linked to the mating portion, so that the strap body can be hung centrally or carried on the back easily, thus realizing the portability and hanging functions of the file folder to meet the diversified user demands with ease-of-use. | 05-12-2011 |
| 20110127317 | File Folder And Repositionable Tab - The folder is formed from a single sheet, folded along a fold line to form opposing walls. Each wall, at its top, includes a retaining portion that folds over a metal or plastic channel rod and includes a series of horizontally-spaced holes. The holes extend vertically over the lower edge or a rib of the channel rod. Each channel rod extends laterally past the edge of the folder and includes notches or hook ends that engage a pair of rails. Each tab includes a clip portion that opens downward. The clip portion includes two vertically-oriented inner faces, one or both of which includes inward-facing dimples or protrusions that fit at least partially into the holes in the retaining portion. At least one optional protrusion may be locating, meaning that the top of the protrusion does not engage the channel rod when the tab is fully attached. | 06-02-2011 |
