Claims
- 1. A hanging file structure comprising:
a continuous web of a flexible sheet material having a pair of opposed side marginal edges; said web being sealed to itself at regular spaced intervals to thereby provide a plurality of channels extending between said pair of opposed side marginal edges, said channels being open at said opposed side marginal edges; and a hanger strip mounted within each of said channels, each of said hanger strips having end portions extending beyond respective side marginal edges of said web.
- 2. The hanging file structure of claim 1 further including a plurality of apertures formed within said continuous web of flexible sheet material, each of said apertures being located in a position between where said web is sealed to itself at regularly spaced intervals, said aperture being intermediate said pair of opposed side marginal edges.
- 3. The hanging file structure of claim 2 wherein said apertures have a configuration selected from the group consisting of generally circular and generally elliptical configurations.
- 4. The hanging file structure of claim 2 wherein each of said hanger strips has a notch formed in an underside of said end portion extending beyond said side marginal edges of said web.
- 5. The hanging file structure of claim 2 wherein said web of a flexible material comprises a web of plastic film.
- 6. The hanging file structure of claim 2 wherein said web of flexible material comprises a web of textile material.
- 7. The hanging file structure of claim 5 wherein said plastic film is transparent.
- 8. The hanging file structure of claim 2 further including label means on said hanger strip.
- 9. The hanging file structure of claim 5 wherein said web is sealed to itself by means of heat sealing.
- 10. The hanging file structure of claim 2 wherein said hanger strips are removably mounted within said channels.
- 11. A hanging file system comprising a container and a hanging file structure, said container having a pair of parallel rails extending between opposed sides thereof, said hanging file structure comprising:
a continuous web of a flexible sheet material having a pair of opposed side marginal edges; said web being sealed to itself at regular spaced intervals to thereby provide a plurality of channels extending between said pair of opposed side marginal edges, said channels being open at said opposed side marginal edges; a hanger strip mounted within each of said channels, each of said hanger strips having end portions extending beyond respective side marginal edges of said web, said end portions being supported by said parallel rails; and the arrangement being such that a plurality of file pockets are formed by portions of said web between said sealed channels, each file pocket having a first side wall, a second side wall and a bottom the arrangement being such that when a lifting motion is exerted on one of said side walls, said bottom portion moves along the other of said side walls due to the flexible nature of said sheet material.
- 12. The hanging file system of claim 11 further including an aperture formed in said web at the bottom of each of said file pockets.
- 13. The hanging file system of claim 12 wherein each of said apertures has a configuration selected from generally circular and generally elliptical configurations.
- 14. The hanging file system of claim 12 wherein each of said hanger strips has a notch formed in an underside of said end portion extending beyond said side marginal edges of said web, said notches seating on respective ones of said parallel rails.
- 15. The hanging file system of claim 14 wherein said web of a flexible material comprises a web of transparent plastic film.
- 16. The hanging file system of claim 14 further including label means on each of said hanger strips.
- 17. The hanging file of claim 11 wherein said pair of parallel rails are formed from upper side marginal edges of said container.
- 18. A hanging file structure comprising:
a continuous web of a flexible sheet material having a pair of opposed side marginal edges; hanger strips having lower edges and having end portions extending beyond said marginal edges of said web; said web being sealed to said lower edges of said hanger strips at spaced intervals.
- 19. The hanging file system of claim 18 wherein said web of a flexible material comprises a web of laminated plastic film having one layer of a higher melt temperature than said hanger strip.
- 20. A hanging file structure comprising:
a continuous web of a flexible sheet material having a pair of opposed side marginal edges; at least one spring clip having an internal channel and having end portions extending beyond respective side marginal edges of said web; said clip applied across said web so at to engage and secure a portion of said web in said channel of said clip.
- 21. The hanging file system of claim 19 wherein each of said spring clips has a notch formed in an underside of said end portion extending beyond said side marginal edges of said web.
