Abstract: An index divider sheet assembly adapted for feeding into ink jet printers and the like for a printing operation on the sheet body and/or the index tab of the assembly. The assembly includes a divider sheet having a tab extending out of one edge and a reinforced binding edge flap. The divider sheet can be manufactured from ink jet receptive top-coated white cardstock. A guide strip along the tab edge assists the assembly being fed and passing through the printer despite the presence of the tab. The binding edge flap is folded over onto the body of the sheet and held thereon to reduce the width dimension of the assembly so that it can be fed into and passed through the printer. After passing through the printer, the guide strip is removed and the flap is unfolded. To improve feed of the assembly from a printer feed tray having corner guides, the flap is manufactured to have notches cut out of both ends thereof to define thin legs along the flap fold line and at both corner ends of the flap.

Abstract: The tabbed edge of a divider sheet has at least one strip releasably attached thereto. The strip helps the printer (or copier) sense the sheet when being fed strip end first or last (landscape direction) into the printer or copier. When fed in the portrait direction, the strip guides the sheet along the feed tray guides thereby preventing skewing of the sheet. After the printer or copier has printed the desired indicia on the tabs and/or body of the sheet, the strip is removed from the sheet and discarded. The strip can be attached to the sheet with adhesive or by a microperforation line.

Abstract: An index sheet or divider which may be accommodated by and directly printed upon by a conventional machine printer. The index sheet includes a main body portion and a foldable index tab portion. The index tab portion is transformable into a configuration allowing the index sheet to controlledly pass through a printer. After printing, the index tab portion is transformable into another configuration allowing it to stand out, identify, separate, or otherwise distinguish documents or items with which one or more index sheets are kept. When completed, the index tab portion has back-to-back printable surfaces.

Abstract: A method for a color coded filing system uses color codes for the sequencing elements of a sequencing scheme to provide unique color codes for the file designations of individual files. The method omits the color code for the last sequencing element of the file designation such that, when multiple files are arranged in order, the color codes form horizontal rows of easily discernible color blocks where the color blocks span multiple files. The file folder used in conjunction with the method has a pocket for a removable color code carrying medium. The pocket includes a window on the outside edge of the file folder. The window is aligned with the color codes on the carrying medium to permit direct viewing of the color codes. A graspable portion of the carrying medium extends through the window to aid in insertion and removal of the carrying medium.

Abstract: Tab material which is wrapped tightly around an edge of a sheet is adhered flat to both faces of the sheet. The sheet is passed through a printer, and indicia is printed on both sides of a tab material fold line on at least a portion of the tab material on one of the faces. Then, the tab material portion is released from that face, folded onto itself on the fold line, and the end of that portion is re-adhered to that face but closer to the sheet edge. Thereby, the folded tab material portion extends out from the edge and has indicia printed on both sides thereof to define a tab. Pursuant to one embodiment, a series of these tab material portions line that face along the edge, separated from one another by die cut lines. The user can then select the portion to be released from the face, folded onto itself and its end attached to the face to define an outwardly extending tab at the desired place anywhere along the edge.

Abstract: A method of systematizing a process for a user, in which the process has steps. Each step has a corresponding tab.

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: An improved index divider label application kit that includes at least one set of divider sheets and at least one set of precut labels removably attached to carrier strips which are removably secured to a backing sheet. The divider sheets have outwardly extending tabs vertically offset from one another for receiving the precut labels. The precut labels are spaced apart on the carrier strips to align substantially with the tabs on the divider sheets. A user may (1) separate a carrier strip and precut labels affixed to that carrier strip from the backing sheet, (2) place and align the carrier strip across the divider sheets such that the precut labels are placed on the tabs of the divider sheets, and (3) pull the carrier strip upwardly and away from the divider sheets such that the precut labels separate from the carrier strip and remain on the divider tabs.

The grouping device is selectively releasable to permit inspection of individual sheets of the integral group or removal of individual sheets from the ring binder. In one embodiment, the grouping device includes an elongated strip of flexible sheet material extending between first and second ends, the strip including a bight portion intermediate the first and second ends to define an upper elongated flap generally contiguous with an uppermost sheet of the integral group of sheets and a lower elongated flap generally contiguous with a lowermost sheet of the integral group of sheets.

Abstract: The tabbed edge of a divider sheet has at least one strip releasably attached thereto. The strip helps the printer (or copier) sense the sheet when being fed strip end first or last (landscape direction) into the printer or copier. When fed in the portrait direction, the strip guides the sheet along the feed tray guides thereby preventing skewing of the sheet. After the printer or copier has printed the desired indicia on the tabs and/or body of the sheet, the strip is removed from the sheet and discarded. The strip can be attached to the sheet with adhesive or by a microperforation line.

Abstract: An improved indexing apparatus with a wide range of uses which is intuitive to use, and economically manufactured using a minimum of materials and manufacturing steps. The preferred embodiment comprises a central index with an index portion and a marking portion printed on a layer of sheet stock with adhesive backing. Markers are die-cut from the same layer of sheet stock as the central index and have unique identifiers corresponding to unique identifiers on the marking portion of the central index. The markers and the central index are completely severed from each other and are held adjacent by their mutual releaseable attachment to a common backing sheet. A portion of the backing sheet is removable to allow attachment of the device to a document or other surface, the remaining portion serves to hold the markers adjacent to the central index.

Abstract: An improved dictionary index that allows a person to open a dictionary often just a few pages from where his word is located. Given the word "ran," r, a, and n are #1, #2, and #3 letters respectively. This index allows a person to open to where the #2 letter begins, and if set up for it, in many cases to open to where the #3 letter begins, so that in this case the person is shown where to open the dictionary to have "ran" on that open page. This is accomplished partly by subdividing the words beginning with #1 letters into lesser categories--26 if each of the letters is to be presented as a #2 letter, and perhaps 40 or more if some #2 letters are further subdivided into #3 letters--for instance such #2 letters as A, E, I, O, U, H, L, N, R. A chart of these perhaps 40 letters is placed for instance on the inside back book cover where the cover extends past the pages.
