Abstract

The invention relates to a filing apparatus of the both-side opening and closing type in which a pair of right and left opening/closing members (52) coupled to the right and left side edges of an attaching member (41) can be opened and closed from any one of the front, back, right and left side edges by an operating member (61) provided for the attaching member (41). The filing apparatus comprises: tile attaching member (41) having axial pipes (44) at the right and left side edges; a pair of right and left opening/closing members (52) in which filing rods are projected on the inner surface and axial pipes (56) which are coupled to the axial pipes (44) are provided; coupling mechanisms which are arranged at the right and left positions of the attaching member (41) and have a pair of operating rods which are relatively moved between the inoperative position where the opening/closing members (52) are rotatably coupled to the attaching member (41) by a coupling rod (65) and the operative position to release the coupling state of them; front and back operating members (61) for operating the right and left coupling mechanisms from the inoperative position to the operative position, respectively; and a holding mechanism which holds the operative position of the coupling mechanism by a holding lever (67) and releases the holding state of the holding lever when the opening/closing members (52) are in the coupling state. One of the opening/closing members (52) can be opened from any one of the front, back, right, and left positions of the attaching member (41).
