The breast-cancer recovery system comprises a breast cancer recovery garment, an organizational subsystem and a needs kit. The breast cancer recovery garment comprises a body portion defining an opening, positioned, configured and dimensioned to allow the performance of a breast cancer treatment procedure and a closure device suitable for closing the opening when a procedure is not being performed. The body portion of the garment defines the elongated pocket proximate the bottom edge, extending along the bottom edge and defines slits in at least one of the sleeves. The body portion of the recovery garment comprises of a warm material and/or of decorative pattern. The organizational subsystem comprises a frame configured to support a plurality of color-coded files, and marked with identification tabs which relate to breast cancer patient needs, and customized medical information. A breast cancer patient needs kit comprises a basket-like container, a canvas tote bag, a canvas tote bag with a zipper closure, or a basket and clear wrap around it, at least one drug and/or medication and at least one edible item.

A paper binding system utilizing standard single, double or three-hole paper punches allows for binding variable numbers of pages. System uses 2 members; a first member is an elongated tail with an elongated rib and round integrated head on top. A second clamping member attaches to the tail. Second member has a blade that engages the rib. Excess tail can be cut off with scissors. Second member can be removed by inserting a rod into the second member. The rod is inserted in an oval shaped hole with the rod at approximately at a 90 degree to the blade. It goes behind the blade and then travels up a beveled ramp of the rib thereby raising the blade slightly and disengaging the blade from the rib allowing the second member to be removed from the first member.

A hanging file system having a container with a wall structure extending around a file storage space and first and second substantially parallel rails. The rails are configured to operatively support a first file folder having spaced hanging components that cooperate with the first and second rails to guide movement of the first file holder in a first predetermined translatory path. Third and fourth rails operatively support a second file folder having spaced hanging components that cooperate with the third and fourth rails to guide movement of the second file folder in a second predetermined translatory path. The first and second translatory paths extend respectively along first and second lines that are angled with respect to each other.

A searchable binder which is operationally compatible with a binder management system having a cabinet with shelves or a file cabinet with file drawers for removable storage of searchable binders. Each binder has a body with front and rear covers and a spine. Inside the body is a binder mechanism for removably retaining sheet media. Each binder has a pair of binder contact mechanisms mounted to the spine at opposite ends, a binder identification circuit electrically coupled to the binder contact mechanisms, and a visible indicator. Each binder contact mechanism has a base element and a sliding element. The sliding element can be manually set to a retracted position in which the sliding element is extended a first distance and an extended position in which the sliding element is extended a second greater distance. In the retracted position, the sliding elements can make contact with conductive elements of a binder cabinet when a binder is placed on a shelf. In the extended position the sliding elements can make contact with conductive support rails of a file cabinet when a binder is placed in a file drawer. When a binder identification signal from a host computer is supplied to the conductive elements or the conductive rails. It is transferred by the binder contact mechanisms to the binder identification circuit. If the signal matches an address code stored in the binder identification circuit, the LED is activated to aid the user in finding the binder.

A tab system for a folder (10a), and a method of making same is disclosed. The tab is enlarged to carry more information/indicia. The visual indicia space (16a), i.e. the viewable space on the front (32a, 36a) of the folder which allows viewing of the enlarged tab is achieve without violating the overall size restrictions (40a) of the file folder. Instead, the front of the folder adjacent to the tab on the back panel, is cut away (32a,34a) to expose a greater portion of the back panel (14a) and allow an increase in visual indicia space. The remaining portion of the front panel, not adjacent to the tab may also be cut away (34a) to allow other enlarged tab files, with offset tabs, (22d, 21a) to be viewable behind the present file.

A support structure has a pair of elongate side panels and a pair of end support frame assemblies for maintaining the side panels in a mutually spaced relationship and at an elevation to enable suspension of hanging file folders from upper surfaces of the side panels. Each of the side panels includes a top member having the upper surface, a bottom member spaced apart from the top member, and at least one reinforcing member interconnecting the top and bottom members. Each of the top and bottom members has opposite terminal ends each formed as a connecting member having a vertical slot. Each of the end support frame assemblies includes a pair of support legs configured to extend through the vertical slots of the respective connecting members of the side panels and includes at least one transverse support member having opposite terminal ends configured to be releasably mounted to respective ones of the support legs.

Folders are disclosed. In some embodiments, the folder may include a unitary planar material folded along a transverse fold forming a front panel and a rear panel. The front panel may be folded over the rear panel along the transverse fold. At least one reference apparatus may be formed with at least one of the front and rear panels. The at least one reference apparatus may be configured to be detached from the at least one of the front and rear panels.

Adjustable frames for use with hanging folders are disclosed herein. An example frame disclosed herein includes an a first end portion including a first side and a second side, a second end portion including a third side and a fourth side, the second end portion and the first end portion disposed within a plane, a first track disposed between the first side and the third side, and a second track disposed between the second side and the fourth side, the first track and the second track to enable the frame to move between a contracted position and an expanded position within the plane, the contracted position corresponding to a first distance between the first end portion and the second end portion, the expanded position corresponding to a second distance between the first end portion and the second end portion, the second distance greater than the first distance.

Rods for use in a filing system are disclosed. An example file folder rod includes a first end, a second end and an elongated body extending between the first end and the second end, the elongated body having a longitudinal axis. The example rod also includes a hook coupled to the first end of the rod. The example hook includes a longitudinal portion extending along the longitudinal axis, an elongated hook portion coupled to an end of the longitudinal portion with the elongated hook portion extending from the longitudinal portion a first distance, and a first extension extending from the longitudinal portion with the first extension extending from the longitudinal portion a second distance, the second distance less than the first distance.
