the present invention provides a hanging file system for releasably suspending a plurality of relatively large flat pages of blueprints or the like in a hanging relationship to one another including a generally rectangular rack portion having a plurality of pins extending from the lower portion of a rear member of the rack . a binder has an aperture formed in one end for operatively engaging one of the pins and a hanger forming having a slotted channel for operatively receiving the front member of the rack therein for hangably supporting the binder and the plurality of pages contained therein from the rack . the outer front end portion of the binder contains a flared opening for guiding the pages into the channel and between the lower gripping jaws which are resiliently biased by the plastic material itself toward one another for clampably retaining the pages with the hollow channel of the binder . the holder is located a predetermined distance from the apertured end and short of the center of the binder such that the center of gravity causes the binder to attempt to rotate the apertured end clockwise about a pivot formed by the hanger engaging the front rack portion . motion is prevented since the rear or apertured end of the binder is stopped by the lower surface of the rear rack support of the rack for maintaining the binder in a generally horizontal position for vertically suspending the plurality of pages therefrom . a loose connection of the hanger to the front support of the rack enables the binders to be pivoted in a horizontal manner about the pin - receiving aperture at the end thereof for turning the pages horizontally through an arc to enable the individual pages of a packet or individual packets of different binders to be read or scanned and so that individual pages can be removed from , reinserted in or initially inserted in individual binders without removing the binders from the racks and without moving all of the pages therefrom .
