Storage box file organizer

USPTO Application #: 20070000850
Title: Storage box file organizer
Abstract: A foldable material (10), folded laterally in the middle along a major fold (14) is placed between a side of a file storage box (16) and a collection of files (18). The folded material places sufficient pressure on the files to hold them on end against the wall of the box, thus keeping them organized and upright. (end of abstract)

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0004] 1. Field of Invention

[0005] This invention relates to file storage boxes, and specifically a device to improve their organizational function.

[0006] 2. Prior Art

[0007] File storage boxes such as U.S. Pat. No. 4,236,740 to Sorenson (1980), and the box that can be made by the method disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,850,964 to Rosenbaum (1997) are everywhere in the world and they are used by everyone as a cheap and easy means to store things. The problem with these boxes is that they do very little to keep their contents organized and secure unless they are completely full. It is almost impossible to keep loose papers upright. The contents of the box will fall down and turn every which way. This makes it very time consuming and tiring to wrangle with the papers.

[0008] The type of storage boxes in question suffer from the following disadvantages: [0009] (a) They have no means of keeping files stationary unless full. [0010] (b) Many different size boxes would be required to serve the function of the organizer.

OBJECTS AND ADVANTAGES

[0011] The advantages of this device over the prior-art are: [0012] (a) It is physically simple, consisting of no more than a unitary material. [0013] (b) It is cheap to produce since there are no complex shapes involved in production. [0014] (c) It is user friendly and easily adjustable.

SUMMARY

[0015] In accordance with the present invention, a storage box file organizer is comprised of a unitary material which can be laterally folded so that it retains its shape.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION--FIGS. (1-2)

[0019] FIG. 1A shows the preferred embodiment of the device. It shows a top-down view of a unitary material 10 which comprises the file storage box organizer. The organizer 10 is scored laterally down the middle 14 which allows it to be easily folded in half This scoring 14 is the major fold. Disposed on either side of the major fold are lateral perforations 12. These perforations 12 occur at regular intervals on either side of the major fold and allow for easy folding of the organizer 10. This folding is how the organizer is adjusted in length.

[0020] FIG. 1B shows an isometric view of the organizer 10 inside a file box 16. The files 18 are restrained at the end of the box by the organizer 10. The organizer 10 has been folded in half along the major fold 14 and subsequently adjusted for length by folding along a row of perforations so that the fold over area 20 is now adjacent to a wall of the box 16.

[0021] FIG. 2 shows alternative embodiments of the organizer 10. Instead of lateral perforations, this figure shows lateral scoring 22. The scoring serves the same purpose as the perforations. Also shown is a beveled front edge 24. This would allow for the files to be thumbed through easier whilst still keeping the files secure.
