EXPANDABLE PORTABLE FILE Abstract of the Disclosure A portable file comprises a case formed with two side panels, a front panel, a back panel, a bottom and a top. The two side panels, back panel and bottom form an integral structure. A first hinge connects the integral structure and the rear end of the top and permits pivoting movement of the top between a closed position and an open position. A second hinge connects the integral structure and the bottom of the front panel and permits pivoting movement of the front panel between a closed position and an extended position. A latch connects the top and the front panel whereby they can be releasably retained in their respective closed positions, and a handle is connected to the case whereby it can be carried. The side panels are formed with supports for a plurality of hanging files, and the top is formed with a retainer cooperating with the supports for retaining the hanging files on the supports when the top is in the closed position, notwithstanding tipping of the case. The top can be pivoted through an arc exceeding 90°, whereby it rests stably in the open position by virtue of its own weight, and the front panel is capable of pivoting through an arc such that the top thereof in the extended position swings out a distance sufficient to permit finger access to hanging files stored in the case even when the case is filled to rated capacity.
