Abstract: An index divider sheet assembly including a divider sheet having a tab on a sheet edge and a strip removably attached to the divider sheet and extending out from the sheet edge. A printable strip has a first strip portion attached to and flat on a first face of the tab and a second strip portion separated from the first strip portion by a fold line. The assembly is fed into a printer or copier with the second strip portion releasably secured to and flat on the removable strip. The printer or copier prints (mirror-image) indicia on the first and second strip portions. After this printing operation, the removable strip is manually removed from the sheet and from the second strip portion. The second strip portion is then folded backward on the fold line and secured with its adhesive to the opposite second face of the tab.

Abstract: A large copyholder for holding stacks of documents of varying thickness having a line guide adjustable to accommodate for stack thickness. The line guide is pivotal to also serve variable thickness stacks adjacent the copyholder. The line guide is connected to the copyholder through a frictional axis arrangement to hold the line guide in selected positions.

Abstract: A copy holder apparatus for use in combination with a conventional typewriter is set forth. The apparatus includes a generally "S" shaped transparent bracket with a lower leg defining a slot to accept a typewriter table in a conventional typewriter. The upstanding leg of the apparatus includes a spring clip cooperative with an outer face of leg for securement of documents to be copied. A fiber optic cursor is vertically positionable along the upstanding leg to indicate and accent lines to be copied by an operator. The upstanding leg is angulated at approximately thirty degrees relative to the lower leg to orient the document to be copied relative to an operator.

Abstract: An indexing line guide for a copy stand having an upright pallet for supporting sheets with horizontal lines of text to be copied. The pallet has a guide rail along one side edge, the rail having a row of rack teeth on the rearward side. A slide is received on and secured to the rail for longitudinal movement, the slide including a line guide that extends over and parallel to the lines of text on the sheet. The slide has an escapement that cooperates with the rack teeth as the guide rail and which is actuated by a lever adapted to be tapped by the user. When the lever is actuated, a pair of teeth in the escapement reverse their relation to the rack teeth momentarily and then reengage the rack teeth at the next lower position. With this operation, the line guide is repositioned immediately below the next line of text on the sheet to be copied.

Abstract: A device for holding flexible, yieldable information carriers such as paper in a correct readable position comprising a retaining or clamping device for the flexible, yieldable information carrier for at least partially rigidizing the same so that it remains in a free supported reading position.
