A support structure is disclosed for vertical filing systems to suspend binders horizontally by supporting one end of the binder on an end support fixedly located on the support structure while supporting the binder from another position on the binder remote from the first end by an elongate suspension means coupled at one end to the support structure and extending therefrom to the binder. The support structure provides for easier manual engagement of binders to the support structure and easier disengagement therefrom as compared to prior art support structures.

A support structure in combination with an elongate, rigid clamping device to grasp sheet material along an edge thereof, the support structure detachably suspending the clamping device in a substantially horizontal position with sheet material grasped in the clamping device to hand downward from the clamping device, the support structure permitting coupling and uncoupling of the clamping device therewith, the support structure comprising: end support means fixedly secured to said support structure to removably receive a first end of the clamping device; and elongate suspension means with a first end thereof coupled to said support above said end support means and with a second end thereof adapted to be detachably coupled to said clamping device spaced from said first end, said suspension means having a length that with a first end of the clamping device received in the end support means and the second end of the suspension means coupled to the clamping device, the clamping device is suspended substantially horizontally, said end support means receiving the first end of the clamping device to permit at least marginal pivoting of the clamping device relative to the end support means about a horizontal axis normal to the longitudinal of the clamping device passing proximate the first end of the clamping device whereby with said first end of the clamping device received in said end support means, the clamping device may be marginally pivoted about said horizontal axis moving a second end of the binder upward from said horizontal position to permit coupling and uncoupling of said second end of the elongate suspension means with said binder, the clamping device comprising: first and second elongate clamping members each having a first longitudinal edge and a second longitudinal edge, the members hinged together along their first edges to rotate relative to one another about a longitudinal axis to receive and grasp sheet material between second edges thereof, said end support means receiving said first end of the clamping device and said second end of the elongate suspension means coupling to the clamping device so as to permit pivoting of the clamping device about said longitudinal axis,
