Abstract

A filing device comprising suspension bar (60) with hooked end sections (64) is disclosed whereby the bar enables suspension of a booklet (70) from suspension rails (68) of a hanging-type filing system. A booklet essentially straddles the bar and can be attached to it permanently or semi-permanently. Single sheet documents can be also attached to the bar with an adhesive strip (62). Variations of the bar include ones with movable hook sections: pivotable (84), slidable (120), and hinged (130). Retainers are provided to releasably secure the hook sections in deployed and stowed positions. In two of its variations, the bar (160) can be permanently installed inside a booklet during binding operation, to become its integral part.
