Abstract
A file folder is comprised of the conventional elements of a back cover, a plurality of compartment dividers, and a front cover located in front of the compartment dividers. According to the novel features of the invention the front cover is formed of a lower face portion and an upper shield portion delineated from the lower face portion by a laterally extending fold that extends across the entire width of the front cover. The upper shield portion is biased toward an extended disposition to project upwardly above the upper edges of the compartment dividers. Furthermore, a latch is provided on the upper shield portion and a catch is located on the lower face portion of the front cover. The catch is engageable with the latch when at least part of the shield portion is forced downwardly, bending in articulated fashion into a disposition facing the lower face portion. When all or part of the upper shield portion is in this folded disposition the upper regions and index tabs of the compartment dividers are clearly visible and accessible from in front of the file folder.
