Claim 2

An envelope having an open end and an adjoining elongated passageway equipped with two semicircular cutouts, said passageway being adapted to receive a flat thin support bar in which there are formed two recessed segments which slope downwardly and terminate in hook members for engaging adjacent pairs of horizontally disposed rods, said recessed segments being disposed in such manner that they come into registry with said cutouts when said bar is slidingly inserted into said passageway.

Claim 3

The envelope according to claim 1 wherein said passageway receives said bar via a single end opening and includes a stop beyond which the bar cannot be inserted.

Claim 4

The envelope according to claim 1 wherein said recessed segments are open and angularly disposed for slidably guiding said rods onto said hook members.

Claim 5

A wall-mounted file assembly consisting essentially of: (1) a unitary standard of inverted and generally U-shaped cross-section comprising: (a) a flat horizontally disposed top section; (b) a flat vertically disposed back panel member equipped with suitably spaced screw means for securing a pair of horizontally disposed rods; and (c) a vertically disposed front panel member equipped with apertures for engaging the opposite ends of said rods; and (2) a pair of horizontally disposed rods which extend at one end through the apertures of said front panel member and include at their opposite ends a threaded orifice for threadedly engaging said screw means.

Claim 6

A wall-mounted file assembly consisting essentially of: (1) a unitary standard of inverted and generally U-shaped cross-section comprising: (a) a flat horizontally disposed top section; (b) a flat vertically disposed back panel member equipped with suitably spaced screw means for securing a pair of horizontally disposed rods; and (c) a vertically disposed front panel member equipped with apertures for engaging the opposite ends of said rods; and (2) a pair of horizontally disposed rods which extend at one end through the apertures of said front panel member and include at their opposite ends a threaded orifice for threadedly engaging said screw means.

Claim 7

The assembly according to claim 4 wherein said rods are circular in cross-section.

Claim 8

The assembly according to claim 5 wherein said screw means are pem screws housed within apertures in said back panel member.

Claim 9

The assembly according to claim 5 wherein said back panel member includes apertures for hanging said assembly on a wall-anchored support via screws, nails, bolts, hooks or the like.

Claim 10

A wall-mounted file assembly consisting essentially of: (1) a unitary standard of inverted and generally U-shaped cross-section comprising: (a) a flat horizontally disposed top section; (b) a flat vertically disposed back panel member equipped with suitably spaced screw means for securing a pair of horizontally disposed rods; and (c) a vertically disposed front panel member equipped with apertures for engaging the opposite ends of said rods; and (2) a pair of horizontally disposed rods which extend at one end through the apertures of said front panel member and include at their opposite ends a threaded orifice for threadedly engaging said screw means; and (3) an envelope having an open end and an adjoining elongated passageway equipped with two semicircular cutouts, said passageway being adapted to receive a flat thin support bar in which there are formed two recessed segments which slope downwardly and terminate in hook members for engaging adjacent pairs of horizontally disposed rods, said recessed segments being disposed in such manner that they come into registry with said cutouts when said bar is slidingly inserted into said passageway.

Claim 11

A wall-mounted file assembly consisting essentially of: (1) a unitary standard of inverted and generally U-shaped cross-section comprising: (a) a flat horizontally disposed top section; (b) a flat vertically disposed back panel member equipped with suitably spaced screw means for securing a pair of horizontally disposed rods; and (c) a vertically disposed front panel member equipped with apertures for engaging the opposite ends of said rods; and (2) a pair of horizontally disposed rods which extend at one end through the apertures of said front panel member and include at their opposite ends a threaded orifice for threadedly engaging said screw means; and (3) an envelope having an open end and an adjoining elongated passageway equipped with two semicircular cutouts, said passageway being adapted to receive a flat thin support bar in which there are formed two recessed segments which slope downwardly and terminate in hook members for engaging adjacent pairs of horizontally disposed rods, said recessed segments being disposed in such manner that they come into registry with said cutouts when said bar is slidingly inserted into said passageway.
