Abstract

A vertically suspendible filing folder configured for temporarily linking adjacent filing folders to one another for convenience in locating, handling, grouping, sorting and storing. A filing folder is affixed to suspension bars, the ends of which are fitted with suspension hooks suitable to permit a suspendible filing folder to glide between two parallel horizontal rails. A permanent magnet is affixed to one of the two suspension bars so as to expose the magnet toward the outside of the filing folder. The other suspension bar has a region of ferromagnetic material exposed toward the outside of the folder in opposing position to the magnet. The magnetic attraction between the permanent magnet affixed to the suspension bar of one folder and the ferromagnetic region of the suspension bar of an adjacent folder of similar design accomplishes the provisional linking. In this manner, a convenient and temporary combining between two or more adjacent filing folders is effective so as to maintain the folders in customary and attractive appearance. The linked folders are separated with the same convenience when the need to do so arises.
