Abstract:
1. A portable document storage container for enabling remote location and retrieval of documents located in file folders received within said storage container, said container comprising: a base wall having an upper surface; a plurality of upstanding wall members connected to said base wall, said base wall and said plurality of upstanding wall members defining an enclosure volume; first and second electrically conductive support members each secured to at least one of said wall members in an essentially parallel and mutually spaced manner at a vertical distance above said upper surface of said base wall, said vertical distance being sufficiently great to ensure that a file folder designed for use with said storage container and having a bottom margin can be supported by said first and second support members in said enclosure volume with the bottom margin positioned above said upper surface in non-contacting relation thereto, said vertical distance being sufficiently small to ensure that a standard file folder having at least one support brace with a pair of opposing ends and a bottom margin received within said enclosure volume is positioned with the bottom margin in contact with said upper surface of said base wall with the opposing ends in non-contacting relation with said first and second electrically conductive support members, the spacing between said first and second support members being sufficient to accommodate the ends of a file folder in mechanically supportive fashion; and an electrical input connector secured to one of said upstanding wall members and ohmically coupled to said first and second support members for providing file folder search signals supplied by a source to at least one of said first and second support members, so that said file folder search signals are coupled to any file folder supported by said support members.
