Abstract
A hanging file folder (10) for mounting to a pair of spaced apart rails is disclosed. The file folder has a first (18) and second rod (20) with a pair of hook portions (26,28) on opposing ends thereof for engaging the pair of spaced apart rails. The file folder body (11) has first (12) and second walls (14) forming a pocket for holding materials therein, and is assembled such that the pocket is suspended between the first and second rods. At least one of the first and second rods includes a resilient structure (58) for permitting at least one of the hook portions to move longitudinally and adjust an effective length of its rod for accommodating variances in the angle at which folders are mounted on the rails. The resilient structure may include a tension spring, for example. The hook portions may be movably mounted to the rod and may include the resilient mechanism.
