Abstract: An index sheet which may be accommodated by and directly printed upon by a conventional printer. The index sheet is formed from a rectangular shaped stock sheet having a body portion, at least one index tab portion, and a guide portion, all of which are separated by a plurality of perforations. After the stock sheet is directly printed upon, the index sheet may be formed by removing the guide portion and any excess index tab portions so that a single index tab portion extends outwardly from the body portion to identify, separate, or otherwise distinguish the materials being indexed. A first plurality of index sheets stacked in a first position may be used with a second plurality of index sheets which are inverted and stacked in a second position to create a continuous staggered edge of index tab portions.

Abstract: A manual sheet paper punch having an elongated pivotal flap which drives punch dies to punch sheets and, in addition, a pivotal lever positioned above the flap for hand operation to urge the elongated flap downwardly to punch sheets. Increased mechanical advantage is accomplished.
