  • Patent number: 5954445
    Abstract: An index sheet or divider which may be accommodated by and directly printed upon by a conventional printer. The index sheet is provided with a combination of features selected from one or more perforations or foldable portions defining a guide, foldable bindable portions, hinged cutouts, removable index tab portions and the like which allow the index sheet to pass, in a guided or controlled fashion, through a printer. After the index sheet is directly printed upon, such features also allow the index sheet to be transformed, either manually or by machine, so that an index tab portion of the index sheet stands out, identifies, separates, or otherwise distinguishes documents or items with which one or more index sheets are kept.
