Description




BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION




The present invention relates to a card file assembly. More particularly, the present invention relates to a card file assembly which combines two card files together.




A conventional card file has a predetermined size, so it cannot receive a sheet of oversized paper.




SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION




An object of the present invention is to provide a card file assembly which combines two card files together.




Accordingly, a card file assembly comprises a main card file and an auxiliary card file.
