(57) A file for storing magazines and the like. The file is formed from sheet plastic
and is completely unitarily formed in a single piece. The single piece is foldable
and has a first or erected position for receiving and storing magazines and the like
and a second, flattened position used for shipping or storing of the files themselves.
When in the erected position, the file has a bottom wall portion, upright side walls
extending from the bottom wall portion, upright end walls interconnecting the side
walls and an open top portion, one of the walls being discontinuous and including
means defined thereon in order to non-permanently secure and lock the foldable member
in the second or erected position. When in the erected position, the foldable member
is constructed and arranged to receive magazines through the open top portion. The
magazines, when being stored in the file, are partially reviewable in the file. In
the flattened position, the wall portions are in the folded down position and are
selectively co-planar or substantially adjacent to each other in a top to bottom relationship,
and the foldable member is readily storable in the flattened position when not in
use.
