Abstract
Abstract A support member for hanging files is removably attached to the top portion of a drawer and includes a unitary device provided with transverse elements insertable within a channel at the top of the drawer sidewalls and one or more saddles adapted to rest upon the top of the sidewall channel. Means are provided at the forward end of the member engageable with the rear of the drawer head to insure lateral stability while snap fitting means are included adjacent the rear of the member to preclude accidental vertical displacement thereof.
