Patent ID: 8141282

Claim:
A filing device, comprising: a first cover panel having an edge portion folded to form a folded edge and first and second panel portions on either side of the folded edge, the panel portions being affixed to each other on a first side of the panel portions opposite from the folded edge to form a tab holder and define a cavity between the panel portions, the folded edge defining a second side of the cavity, the cavity being configured for receiving a tab therein, and the tab holder defining a tab opening to the cavity extending along the first side, the first cover panel extending to a cover hinge disposed on an opposite side of the first cover panel from the first side; a second cover panel pivotally connected to the first cover panel at the cover hinge such that the first and second cover panels cooperatively form a folder; and a retractable tab having a display portion and a mounting portion, the mounting portion being mounted in the tab holder cavity such that the tab is movable between: a retracted position in which the display portion is disposed substantially in the cavity, and an extended position in which the display portion extends from the cavity through the tab opening beyond the folded edge of the first cover panel, wherein the tab holder is associated with the mounting portion to retain the mounting portion from being released therefrom, wherein a bottom portion of the display portion includes at least one resiliently deformable protrusion and a width that is greater than a width of the tab opening in a lateral direction such that the retractable tab and the tab opening cooperatively act so as to resiliently deform the at least one protrusion during a sliding movement of the retractable tab between the retracted and extended positions.
