Abstract:
1. A file folder and slidable tab assembly for suspension in a filing unit with two spaced-apart suspension rails, said file folder assembly comprising: a sheet folded along at least one medial line to define a folder having opposing walls extending upwardly from said at least one medial line, a repositionable tab attachable to the top of each retaining portion, the clip portion having two vertically-oriented inner faces that are on opposite sides of the retaining portion when the tab is fully attached, the two inner faces comprising a dimpled face that faces the apertures on the retaining portion when the tab is fully attached; the dimpled face including at least first and second locking protrusions extending toward the retaining portion, the locking protrusions being spaced horizontally apart by an integral multiple of the aperture spacing on the retaining portion so that when the tab is attached to the folder, said protrusions will engage said apertures, the locking protrusions fitting at least partially within corresponding apertures in the retaining portion when the tab is attached, the locking protrusions engaging the channel rod when the tab is fully attached, a bias protrusion located between said first and second locking protrusions, spaced apart and above but not collinear therewith and located along said tab at a location where said bias protrusion is also aligned with an aperture and the surface of the rod, whereby the bias protrusion will apply a bias force between said rod and tab to maintain the position of the tab.
