Abstract
A floating partition provides a visual divide along a long section of boxes in a rack and box filing system. The floating partition has a thin panel with top and bottom fingers. The fingers rest on respective rails of the system rack. A bottom edge of the partition panel is spaced from a base cover. A tab on at least the top finger enables the floating partition to be installed anywhere along the rails. A three-dimensional contour along a front edge of the floating partition enhances the visual divide along the boxes and also increases panel rigidity.
