Abstract

The strip (13) is of a generally elongated rectangular shape and has an eye (11) on the center for hanging on a hook or a nail. The flexible cover holding the pockets for the sheets of paper is threaded through an elongated horizontal slit (15). The pockets may be transparent. There may be perforations (17) under the slit.

Description

The invention relates to a hanging device for a pocket file cabinet.

  allowing them to hang on the pins of a

present r.

  Figure.t shows a hanging device according to a preferred version of the invention. Figure 2 shows a pocket folder in place on

  the hanging device of figure 1.

  Figure 3 shows in partial cross section of Figure 2 showing the cross section of the attachment device with the cross section of the area of the

  pocket folder with binding.

  Figure 4 shows another version of the device

attachment according to the invention.

  Figure 5 shows a variant of the device

  We know the pocket folders 1 (figure 2) of rectangular format, which are generally made of plasticized PVC and which are presented with an opaque cover 2 covering transparent sleeves 3, of shape substantially equal to that of each face of the cover 2 opaque; the opaque cover 2 (FIG. 3) is formed of a sheet 4 which is folded in half to form the faces; the transparent pockets 3 are generally capable of receiving sheets of paper of standardized format MA by an opening situated along a small side of the transparent pocket 3; these transparent pockets 3 are divided into several groups 5; the transparent pockets 3 of each group 5 are connected together and with at least one strip 6 of P.V.C., by a high frequency welding according to one of their large cost; the strip 6 is fixed: e longitudinally on the one hand on the group 5 of transparent pockets 3 and on the other hand inside the cover 2 at the fold 7 to form the binding 8; between the groups 5 of transparent pockets 3, there is at the level of the fold 7 of the free spaces 9 which allow in particular the pocket folder 1 to deploy correctly when the transparent pockets 3 are filled with sheets of paper which modify the thickness. These transparent pocket binders 3 have the drawback, in particular when they are empty, of having no outfit when they are stored in shelves of shelves where they rest on their edges; it is difficult at point of sale to present these., pocket binders 1 in an attractive manner because even when laid flat, they tend to slide on top of each other and fall from the stack, causing

their degradation.

  The object of the invention is to provide a device capable of improving the presentation of pocket binders in the shelves of retail stores. The invention consists in adapting to the pocket file cabinet 1 (FIG. 2) a removable hanging device 10 comprising at least one eyelet 11 making it possible to suspend it from at least one spindle of a vertical pin display. This attachment device comprises a rod which is placed in one of the spaces 9 formed by the fold 7 on the one hand and two groups 5 of transparent pockets 3 contiguous on the other hand; at least one of the ends of this rod is secured to one of the ends of a support device comprising the eyelet capable of threading onto

the spindle of the vertical display.

  In a preferred version of the invention, the rod 12 (figure.l) and the support device 13 can be secured at their ends, to form a window attachment device 14, having a window 15 of a slightly greater length. to that of the binding 8 of the pocket folder 1 and a width of at least half the thickness of the pocket folder 1; to put it in place, we open the pocket folder 1 (figure.3) substantially in the middle between two groups 5 of transparent pockets 3 to form two halves of pocket folder 1 and we slide one of the halves into the window 15 of so that the rod 12 of the attachment device 14 comes into contact with the internal side of the binding 8; the width of the window 15 is preferably sufficient for the support device 13 to be able to be placed in the extension of the groups of pockets 5 when the pocket folder 1 is closed so that, when the support device 13 is in place on the display pin, the pocket folder 1 hangs vertically; the window hooking device 14 can be produced by cutting from a semi-rigid plate, such as a thermo-plastic sheet like polystyrene; it can be obtained by injecting thermoplastic material into a mold; this window hooking device, in particular when injected, can serve as a support for other functions, such as hooks 16 at its ends, to serve as hanging hooks for storing it side by side with files suspended in the office drawers, or label holder space, or prints; it may include perforations -17, which may be located on the rod as shown in FIG. 2 or on the support device allowing it to be stored in filing cabinets with opening metal rings -15. In a variant of the preferred version of the invention, the central part of the rod is omitted, leaving only on each side a length of rod 24 (FIG. 5) fixed to the support device 25 sufficient for the distance 26 between the free ends of these lengths of rods 24 is less than the length of the binding 8 of the pocket folder 1 so that it is held only by its ends

  to form a hook hooking device.

  In another version of the invention, the rod 18 (FIG. 4) and the support device 19 can be connected together by one of their ends by a flexible or elastic hinge 20, while their other end comprises, for example, a hook 21 secured to the support device 19 constituting a means for clipping the end 23 of the rod 18 to form a pin hooking device 22; the rod 18 and the support device 19 are of a length greater than that of the binding 8 and when their ends are clipped together are at a sufficient distance to allow the binding 8 of the pocket filing cabinet 1 to pass; the free end 23 of the rod 18 is slid between two groups 5 of transparent sleeves 3 in the vicinity of the internal part of the binding 8 while the support device 19 is placed outside the pocket folder I in the vicinity of the 'outer part of the binding 8; when the rod -18 is pulled out on the other side, its end 23 is clipped with the hook 21 of the support device 19; this pin hooking device 22 can be manufactured by injection of thermoplastic material such as, for example, homopolymeric polypropylene or impact polystyrene and include accessory functions like those previously described. In a variant of this other version of the invention, the rod and the support device are connected to one another by one of their ends by a rigid link which maintains the rod in a determined position relative to the support device; the other end of the rod preferably has a retainer capable of preventing the pocket file when it is placed on the rod, as described

  previously, to escape by sliding on the rod.
