FILE WITH POSITIONABLE LABEL
In accordance with one embodiment, a file system is provided comprising a file, a closure band, and a positionable label. The closure band is fixable, removably or permanently, to the file. The label is coupled to the closure band and is positionable such that it can be moved along the closure band for positioning at different locations on the file.
1 . A file system comprising:
a file;
a closure band positionable in a closing position around the file for maintaining the file in a closed condition, and movable to a released position releasing the file from the closed condition;
an attachment member configured for mounting the closure band to a portion of the file in both the closed and released positions; and
a positionable label mounted to the closure band, such that label is movable along the closure band for selective repositioning at different locations on the file with the closure band positioned around the file.
2 . The file system of claim 1 , wherein the file is an expandable file.
3 . The file system of claim 2 , wherein the file includes an overlapping top portion that is pivotable to a position to close the file, the closure band being disposed around the top portion when positioned around the file.
4 . The file system of claim 3 , wherein the closure band is secured to the overlapping top portion.
5 . The file system of claim 1 , wherein the closure band is fixed to the file such that it can be selectively positioned around the file in a generally horizontal orientation or a generally vertical orientation.
6 . The file system of claim 1 , wherein the attachment member includes anchor elements on the closure band, and openings defined in the file for receiving the anchor elements for securing the band to the file.
7 . The file system of claim 6 , wherein the file includes a plurality of openings such that the closure band can be secured to the file at plurality of locations.
8 . The file system of claim 1 , wherein the closure band is permanently fixed to the file.
9 . The file system of claim 1 , wherein the closure band is elastic.
10 . The file system of claim 1 , wherein the closure band has a width and wherein the label has a width, and wherein the width of the label is substantially larger than the width of the closure band.
11 . The file system of claim 1 , wherein the closure band has a width and wherein the label has a width, and wherein the width of the label is approximately the same as the width of the closure band.
12 . The file system of claim 1 , wherein the closure band has a width and wherein the label has a width, and wherein the width of the label is less than the width of the closure band.
13 . The file system of claim 1 , wherein the label is three-dimensional.
14 . The file system of claim 1 , wherein the label includes a support structure and a label structure.
15 . The file system of claim 14 , wherein the label structure is insertable into the support structure.
16 . The file system of claim 15 , wherein the support structure includes a window providing visual access to the label structure.
18 . The file system of claim 1 , wherein the label is flexible for permitting the label to bend around different sides of the file.
19 . The file system of claim 1 , wherein the label is replaceable on the closure band.
20 . The file of claim 1 , wherein the closure band is secured to the file by the attachment member.
