Abstract

A file folder includes a base sheet having two slits to form two ears, and a flap extended from the base sheet. A clip includes a base plate having two side portions engageable between the ears of the base sheet, and includes a clamping plate and a bow formed between the base plate and the clamping plate. The ears of the base sheet may guide the base plate of the clip to move relative to the base sheet, and to prevent the base plate from being disengaged from the base sheet. The middle portion of the base plate will not be engaged or blocked by the ears of the base sheet, to allow the clip to be easily moved forwardly and rearwardly relative to the base sheet.

Claims

1. A file folder comprising:

a base sheet including a front portion, a rear portion, and two side portions, and including two slits formed in said rear portion thereof and spaced away from each other to form two ears,

a flap extended from said rear portion of said base sheet, and including a folding line formed between said flap and said rear portion of said base sheet, to allow said flap to be folded relative to said base sheet, and

a clip including a base plate having two side portions engageable through said slits of said base sheet, and arranged between said ears of said base sheet, and including a clamping plate, and a bow formed between said base plate and said clamping plate, said clamping plate including a front portion having a hook member provided thereon,

said ears of said base sheet being engaged onto said side portions of said base plate of said clip, to guide said base plate of said clip to move forwardly and rearwardly relative to said base sheet, and to prevent said base plate from being moved laterally relative to said base sheet, and said base plate of said clip including a middle portion arranged between said side portions thereof and between said ears of said base sheet, to allow said clip to be easily moved forwardly and rearwardly relative to said base sheet, and

said flap including at least one cut formed therein to form at least one stop therein, and said at least one stop being engageable with said clamping plate of said clip, to prevent said clip from being disengaged from said flap.
