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 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.

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.

A system for mounting to an underside of a work surface of an office furniture structure includes a storage structure and a bracket. The storage structure includes at least one storage chamber and at least one installation feature coupled to the at least one storage chamber. The bracket includes at least one securing feature configured to secure the bracket to the underside of the work surface of the office furniture structure. The bracket further includes at least one installation feature configured to couple the least one installation features of the storage structure. At least one of the storage structure and the bracket includes at least one restraining feature configured to engage the other of the storage structure and the bracket and inhibit the storage structure from being detached from the bracket.

Adjustable frames for use with hanging folders and related methods are disclosed herein. An example apparatus includes an adjustable frame for hanging folders. The frame is to couple to a first rail and a second rail spaced relative to each other to cooperatively receive a first folder. The frame is movable between an expanded position and a contracted position to enable the first and second rails to receive a second folder sized differently relative to the first folder. The example apparatus also includes a receptacle disposed on the frame to receive a first clip for coupling the first rail to the frame.

A support structure has two side panels and two support frame assemblies 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 side panel has a top member having the upper surface and a bottom member spaced apart from the top member. Terminal ends of each of the top and bottom members are provided with vertical slots. Each support frame assembly has two support legs that extend into the vertical slots of the respective terminal ends of the side panels and has a transverse support member having opposite terminal ends releasably mounted to respective ones of the support legs. Each support leg has first and second leg portions spaced apart from one another by a bend serving as a seat that positions and holds the transverse support member.
