Document Sorting Apparatus With Multiple-Position Wire Divider Members
First Claim
1. A document sorting apparatus comprising:
- a base including a pair of parallel side rail members spaced apart from one another, each of the side rail members including a plurality of apertures therein, each of the apertures in one of the side rail members aligned with a corresponding one of the apertures in the opposite side rail member; and
a plurality of wire divider members, each of said wire divider members having a pair of horizontal end segments, said end segments pivotally engaged with one of the apertures in each of the side rail members.

Abstract
A document sorting apparatus includes a base having a pair of parallel side rail members with apertures therein, the apertures distributed in a linear fashion along the length of the side rail members and each aperture in one of the side rail members aligned with a corresponding aperture in the opposite side rail member. Veins in the form of wire divider members are pivotally received in each pair of corresponding apertures. Segments of the wire divider members rest on a top surface of the side rail members when the wire divider member is in a rearwardly-inclined or forwardly-inclined position. The side rail members are provided with lateral extensions having ridges that secure the wire divider members in a vertical position by impeding the wire divider member from pivoting to inclined positions. The impedence of the ridges may be overcome with a deliberate application of force to the wire divider member.
