Hanging file folder

Abstract

The combined hanging file folder structure includes a primary file cassette and at least one secondary file cassette. Each cassette contains a storage space, and an extension portion at a top of the storage space. A positioning portion is placed at the end of extension portion of the secondary file cassette. This positioning portion mates with a positioning portion at a back of the primary file cassette, forming an integrated structure of primary and secondary file cassettes. Furthermore, a positioning portion is placed at a lower part of the back of the secondary file cassette, allowing to mate with the positioning portion of another extension portion and leading to an expanded combination of secondary file cassettes.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0014]Based upon an innovative hanging file folder of the present invention, a positioning portion is placed at the end of an extension portion of a primary file cassette. The positioning portion is also mated with a corresponding positioning portion at a back of a secondary file cassette, so that the primary and secondary file cassettes are assembled together or disassembled to meet diversified customer demands. If only a small amount of files are to be carried, the user may only pick up a single file cassette, thereby greatly reducing the volume of the file folder and carrying files more conveniently. If a number of files are to be carried, the user could combine file cassettes into an integrated and portable file folder with improved flexibility and practicability.

Problems solved by technology

However, the following disadvantages for this file folder are found during actual applications.

In spite of the fact that the multiple spaces of the typical file folder accommodate more files and can also be folded for easier carrying, it is impossible to maintain a thin profile after a number of files are placed therein.

Thus, the user has to take a bigger file folder even if only a little amount of files are carried, leading to inconvenience and inflexibility in response to the users' demands.
