Patent ID: 6910622

Claim:
A file folder assembly for suspension in a filing unit with two spaced-apart suspension rails, said file folder assembly comprising: a sheet of thermoplastic polymer folded along at least one medial line to define a folder having opposing walls extending upwardly from said at least one medial line, each wall having an upper edge and two side edges, each of said walls comprising a retaining portion at the upper edge thereof; two symmetrical thermoplastic polymer support bars each having a pair of legs at a bottom portion thereof defining therebetween a channel terminating in a cavity for mechanically locking with said retaining portion, the support bars having integral suspension portions extending laterally beyond the side edges adjacent the upper edge, the suspension portions having notches configured to accommodate said suspension rails, said support bars each having a continuous indentation on a generally upper portion thereof for accepting an index tab, the indentation being greater in size than a portion of the index tab to be accepted, allowing for rotation of the index tab through the indentation; and an index tab for attachment to the identation in one of the support bars, the index tab comprising: an upper indexing portion for displaying index information; and a lower attaching portion having two leg-like extensions for mechanically engaging with the upper portion of the support bar, allowing limited mechanical rotation of the index tab about the axis of the support bar to provide a wide range of viewing angles for the indexing portion while remaining engaged with the support bar, the leg-like extensions including end portions that engage with the support bar so as to limit the degree of rotation of the type index tab when it is mechanically rotated through the indentation.
