Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
156 words
Document storage apparatus, comprising: means forming a compartment for storing documents; supporting rails disposed within said compartment in parallel relationship to each other; document hanging means including an elongated strip of flexible material folded in half along its longitudinal centerline to form a document receiving slot, said strip having at least two pairs of elongated apertures provided therein with the apertures of each pair being symmetrically disposed about the fold and with their elongated dimensions aligned parallel to said fold, said strip also having a slit proximate each of said pairs of apertures and extending from the side of one of said apertures most remote from said fold to the most remote side of its paired aperture, said slits forming passageways by which said rails may be inserted into corresponding ones of sAid apertures; and means for fastening a document to said strip whereby such document may be removably suspended from said rails by said strip.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
60 words
Document storage apparatus as recited in claim 1 wherein said apertures are rectangular in configuration and said slits extend from said remote sides of said apertures in a direction generally parallel to said fold and then turn at substantially right angles to intersect said fold, said slits, said fold and said apertures forming generally L-shaped portions terminating in tab-like projections.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
51 words
Document storage apparatus as recited in claim 2 wherein said rails have a width R and a center-to-center spacing X, said tab-like projections have a longitudinal width S and the spacing D'' between the tab side edges of respective pairs of said apertures is equal to X + T + S.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
25 words
Document storage apparatus as recited in claim 3 wherein the longitudinal length of at least one of said apertures is R + T + S.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
51 words
Document storage apparatus as recited in claim 2 wherein said rails have a width R and a center-to-center spacing X, said tab-like projections have a longitudinal width S and the spacing D'' between the tab side edges of respective pairs of said apertures is equal to X - T - S.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
25 words
Document storage apparatus as recited in claim 5 wherein the longitudinal length of at least one of said apertures is R + T + S.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
32 words
Document storage apparatus as recited in claim 1 wherein said means for fastening includes at least one strip of adhesive affixed to at least one surface of said strip within said slot.
