More Information
Summary:A filing system adaptor, to be inserted into an existing file cabinet drawer having a conventional hanging file frame with a pair of parallel side rails for supporting hanging files, is disclosed. A removable base plate made of plastic is placed at the bottom of the file cabinet drawer. A number of oversized dividers made of rigid plastic are used to keep documents organized. With a height of about eleven inches, the dividers store large, bulky documents within the same filing cabinet drawer as standard letter size and legal size documents, and the dividers fit within the closed cabinet drawer by resting at an angle of about 60 degrees. A deep cutaway in the divider allows the user to quickly identify the documents maintained in the filing system. The oversized dividers are secured into place by locking tabs at the bottom edge of the divider which lock into accommodating slots in the base plate. Tabs at the top edge of the oversize divider provide support through resting on the parallel rails of the existing file frame. The base plate is adjustable to any length cabinet drawer through perforations in the base plate located at various positions along the length of the base plate. The perforations are adapted to allow a portion or portions of the base plate to be removed to adjust the size of the base plate to fit a particular file cabinet drawer.
