Abstract

A file device includes a shelf member containing a plurality of dividers each removably attached to the shelf member in a selective longitudinal position by means allowing of pivotal displacement about its lower edge. A compressible pad upon the shelf floor constantly biases against the attached divider lower edges to form a tight seal therewith while each divider is provided with lateral tabs overlying the shelf member side walls and having a specified height selected to limit the degree of pivotal displacement of that divider. Additionally, removable label holders for the divider tabs form a close mating fit therewith. Improved support means for the shelf member includes a stand cooperating with the shelf side walls or hanger brackets engageable with the shelf and walls, both serving to retain the shelf member at a fixed transverse inclination.
