Abstract
Paper management apparatus including a work bar mounted to an upright panel. The work bar has a front wall that defines a half moon shaped groove. A mounting clip has a band with a convex surface that nests within the work bar half moon groove. The mounting clip further has a hem that extends out of the work bar half moon groove. The mounting clip hem is inserted into the hem of one of a number of interchangeable paper holding accessories such as slanted storage trays, binder bins, and stackable letter trays. The letter trays and binder bins are made of side walls that assemble to respective opposed ends of trays. The letter trays have respective upper edges that define tabs with a predetermined contour and respective lower edges that define hooks with the predetermined contour. The trays are stacked by sliding the tabs of the first letter tray into the hooks of the second letter tray. The slanted storage tray has a back and a bottom formed with V-shaped pockets. A divider is removably engaged in each pocket. Suspension of a paper holding accessory in the work bar requires simultaneously tilting and inserting the mounting clip into the half moon groove, thereby preventing accidental dislodgement of the accessory from the work bar.
