Abstract:

A file cabinet construction includes at least one shelf mounted within a housing having parellel opposed side walls and a rear wall. A number of guide rails are mounted at predetermined positions along the shelf so that they are parallel to the side walls of the housing. Each guide rail has a longitudinal slot extending into the guide rail from the end located nearest to the rear wall of the housing and terminating at a point adjacent to the forward edge of the shelf. A boxlike container which includes opposed parallel longitudinal sides and a bottom having a longitudinal channel is detachably mounted on each guide by a floating pin. The floating pin is mounted so that the longitudinal axis of the pin is transverse to the channel in the bottom of each container. The channel is configured so that it fits over the guide rail and the floating pin is arranged so that it will slide into the longitudinal slot in the guide rail as the container slides outwardly from the rear wall of the housing, thereby attaching the container to the shelf.
