Abstract
A file tray adapted to be mounted on a generally vertical wall with headed fasteners driven into the wall. The file tray is adapted to serve both as a primary and secondary file tray in a vertical array including a primary file tray and at least one secondary file tray. A vertically oriented mounting surface is adapted to rest against the wall on which the file tray is mounted. A back wall extends forwardly and upwardly from the mounting surface for a selected distance. A back wall flange extends from the top of the back wall rearwardly to the mounting surface. The file tray has compartment having at least a floor and including the back wall. The mounting surface includes bottom and top mounting tabs having notches and holes adapted to engage the shank of a headed fastener so that the head thereof retains the file tray on the wall. The back wall and back wall flange are so notched and channeled as to receive the top or bottom mounting tabs from secondary file trays mounted below or above a primary file tray in such a fashion as to allow secondary file trays to be added above or below a primary file tray without the need to remove the primary file tray from the wall.
