Abstract
A hanging file frame comprises a pair of elongate support rails adapted for hanging suspension file folders therefrom, a pair of transverse interconnecting members, four support legs and four resilient corner fittings for easily joining the rails, interconnecting members and legs into a rigid, parallelepiped file supporting structure wherein the support rails are maintained in mutually spaced, parallel and elevated relationship. The corner fittings, constructed of a strong plastic such as nylon or Delrin, may be molded or extruded. The transverse interconnecting members and the legs are formed of elongate cylindrical rods, end portions of which have radial projections for releasably retaining the members and legs in recesses formed in the corner fittings. The support rails are constructed of metal bars having a rectangular cross section. Support rail receiving slots, having a slightly smaller cross section than that of the rails, are formed in the corner fittings at right angles to the recesses for receiving the interconnecting members and legs, the resiliency of the fitting material permitting deflection of portions of the slot wall for rail insertion and for thereafter causing retention of the rail in the slot.
