Arrangement at lateral-filing system

Claim 1

A lateral-filing system comprising: a plurality of boxes, each box being formed entirely of cardboard and including a bottom (6), a cover (7), two sidepieces (5), and a remote end wall (4) with open edge recesses (8), the front of each box being open for receiving material; first and second tubular-shaped carrier members running transversely to the boxes, the second carrier member being above and rearward with respect to the first carrier member, the first carrier member engaging the bottom of each box at a distance from said remote end wall that exceeds the distance from the first carrier member to the open front end wall, said first carrier member being spaced from said open front end wall, so that almost the entire weight Of the box is essentially balanced on and supported by the first carrier member, with a small overweight rearwards, the second carrier member abutting the remote end wall of the box and engaging the open end recesses, the second carrier member being primarily a guide and supporting very little of the weight of each box, the first carrier member being spaced at a distance below the second carrier so that when the latter engages the open end recesses, the bottom of each box is maintained substantially horizontal.
