Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to index sheets and, more particularly, to bindable index sheets which are directly printable upon, using machines, such as computer operated printers.
- Index tabs for quick identification and selection of information from looseleaf or hardbound binders are a common feature of nearly every we11-organized office. Typically, these tabs are provided as markings on certain sheets or pages of binders, books, notebooks, or other sheet material. In order to facilitate scanning and selection of pages, the index tabs are typically staggered or spaced, along two orthogonal planes. For example, the tab mounted on the side of a subsequent index sheet is positioned just far enough below the tab mounted on the side of the immediately preceding index sheet that the identifying text or characters or symbols appearing on both tabs can be seen when the binder is closed and viewed from the adjacent side. Uses for such index tabs range from simple referencing to presentations.
- indexing tabs are made in one of two ways.
- the tabs may be integrally formed as protrusions of the sheets themselves as shown, for example, in U.S. Patent No. 4,184,699 ⁇ issued to Lowe on January 22, 1980.
- the tabs nay comprise separate elements which are connected to the index sheets as shown, for example in U.S. Patent No. 4,962,603 issued to Kao et al. on October 16, 1990; U.S. Patent No. 5,135,261 issued to Cusack et al. on August 4, 1992; U.S. Patent No. 5,340,427 issued to Cusack et al. on August 23, 1994; and U.S. Patent No. 5,389,414 issued to Popat on February 14, 1995.
- index tabs As Kao et al. indicates, forming index tabs as integral protrusions of the index sheet has been disadvantageous, since it has been difficult to machine print identifying text on the tabs. For example, it has been impractical to insert the entire index sheet into a typewriter in order to type text onto the protruding tab. It has also been difficult or impossible to feed index sheets directly through common office printers, such as laser or in jet printers, without encountering jamming, feed size limit, or uneven printing problems.
- a directly machine printable index sheet comprises a main body portion having a peripheral border and an index tab portion integrally formed with the main body portion and extending outwardly from the border.
- the index tab portion includes a first panel connected to the main body portion, a first line segment positioned between the first panel and the main body portion, a second panel connected to either the first panel or the main body portion, and a second line segment positioned between the second panel and said either the first panel or the main body portion.
- a method of directly printing upon an index sheet using a printing machine comprises the steps of folding a first panel along a first line segment so that first and second panels of an index tab portion are positioned within a border of a main body portion.
- the method further includes the steps of directly printing upon a printable surface of at least one panel using a printing machine and unfolding the first panel along the first line segment so that the first panel extends outwardly beyond the border.
- the method further includes the steps of either folding or separating the second panel along the second line segment and laminating the second panel against the first panel.
- the index sheet of the present invention is provided with a foldable index tab portion which allows the index sheet to pass in a controlled fashion through a printing machine such as a computer printer. After printing, the index tab portion is transformable into a 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 extends from the main body portion of the index sheet and has a pair of visible back-to-back printable surfaces.
- Fig. 1 is a diagrammatic partial top plan view of a first embodiment of an index sheet of the present invention wherein a printable blank index tab portion is shown unfolded relative to a main body portion.
- Fig. 2 is view similar to Fig. 1 but after the index tab portion is folded laterally against the main body portion.
- Fig. 3 is a view similar to Fig. 2 but after the index tab portion is printed upon and while the index tab portion is in the process of being further folded.
- Fig. 4 is a view similar to Fig. 3 but after the index tab portion has been printed upon and fully assembled.
