A card file device has a base board, a jacket, an envelopement, and a plurality of envelopes. The base board has a plurality of creases to define a flap plate, a first connection plate, a first main panel, a second connection plate, and a second main panel. A first fastener is disposed on the flap plate. A second fastener is disposed on the second main panel to match the first fastener. The flap plate has a circular aperture and a round aperture to receive a rope. A hook engages with the rope. A handle is disposed on the first connection plate. The jacket is disposed on the first main panel. The envelopes are disposed between the jacket and the envelopement. The second main panel covers the envelopement.

The present invention relates to a card file device. More particualrly, the present invention relates to a card file device which will be converted to a display device conveniently.




Referring to

FIGS. 1 and 2

, a conventional card file has a first cover board


15


, a base board


10


connected to the first cover board


15


, a second cover board


17


connected to the base board


10


, and a plurality of envelopes


20


. A band


16


is disposed on the first cover board


15


. The base board


10


has a plurality of spaced slots


11


, a plurality of spaced creaves


14


, a plurality of protruded bars


12


, and a plurality of protruded plates


13


. Each of the envelopes


20


has a first slit


24


, a second slit


23


, a pleated plate


22


, and a flap plate


21


. Each of the envelopes


20


is inserted in the corresponding slot


11


of the base board


10


. Each of the protruded plates


13


is inserted through the corresponding first slit


24


of the envelope


20


. Each of the protruded bars

20


. When the conventional card file is closed, a thread


18


encloses the first cover board


15


and the second cover board


17


. Since each of the envelopes


20


is separated and independent, a piece of paper will be inserted through a spacing between two envelopes


20


.
