Definitions
- the present invention relates to tab sheet and flip-file card assemblies and to methods for forming tabbed sheets, dividers or cards with the desired indicia printed on the tabs thereof.
- the paper guide is much shorter than the divider itself, the last few tab positions do not contact the paper guide; specifically, the fourth and fifth tabs of a five tab set and the fifth through eighth tabs of an eight tab set do not contact it.
- the tabs can catch causing the dividers to not feed straight into the printer.
- Thin tab material is wrapped tightly around the edge of a divider sheet and adhered flat against both faces of the sheet. It thereby does not add significantly to the width or thickness dimensions of the sheet and obstruct feeding of the sheet into the printer.
- the tab material is selected to accept and display clearly and cleanly indicia which is printed thereon by the printer, as desired by the user. After the indicia has been printed on the tab material on the first face and the sheet removed from the printer, the tab is formed. To form the tab, the tab material is released from the first face (but not the second face of the sheet). Then the released material is folded over onto itself and the distal end attached to the first face.
- the tab material is preformed with a fold line on the sheet first face side thereof and (the same) indicia is printed on both sides of the fold line. Then with the released tab material folded on the line to form the outwardly extending tab, the indicia is provided on both sides thereof, easily visible on both sides of the tabbed divider sheet.
- the tab material can be provided the length (or a substantial portion thereof) of the sheet edge on the first and second faces thereof, and divided into segments on the first face along the edge. Indicia can be printed on each of the segments, and each can be selectively released, folded and attached to form separate printed tabs.
- the segment selected will be at the desired location of the tab along the edge. Should tab needs change, the tab can be disconnected and that segment reattached in the original tab material position on the first face. If desired, another segment can be released, folded and attached to form a tab at a different location on the sheet edge.
- the entire, for example, an 8 1/2 x 11 inch, sheet (or other printable media) which is passed through the printer or copier forms the end product, for example, a tabbed divider sheet.
- the sheet after the printing operation on its tabbed material(s) is divided into separate smaller end products. These smaller products can be separated along perforation, substantial cut or through-cut lines, or a combination thereof. These lines are preferably preformed; that is, the sheets are provided to the user with the separation lines preformed therein, defining the outlines of the smaller end products. At least one of the edges of the products can be conveniently defined by one or more edges of the sheet, for example at the sheet corner.
- Tab material units are attached, as described above, to each of the sheet portions of the sheet, in an unfolded condition and flat against one face of the sheet.
- the desired indicia is printed on each of the tab material units, preferably on both sides of the score lines thereof.
- the printer or copier can be programmed to print the same or preferably different indicia on each tab unit on the sheet.
- the sheet After the sheet has passed through the printer or copier and the indicia printed on the tab material units, the sheet is separated into its smaller end product units. Each is separated by pulling or tearing along its separation lines. After separation (or less preferably before), the tab material unit is released from the first face of the sheet, folded on the score line and reattached as described previously. Thereby, a plurality of (smaller) products, each with its own outwardly-extending tab with indicia printed on both tab sides, can be formed from a single sheet.
- One preferred configuration of these products is a flip-file card or ROLODEX card with the two slots along a bottom edge for fitting onto the rings of a flip-file card holder.
- the tab material can be attached at different locations along the top edges of the cards, to stagger or offset them from those of adjacent cards, to provide for easier reading and card access.

- FIG. 10 is a plan view of one of the flip-file cards after separation from the sheet of FIG. 9;
- FIGS. 11 and 12 show sequential tab forming steps for the card of FIG 10.
- FIG. 1 One preferred embodiment is shown in FIG. 1 by tab sheet assembly 50 which is illustrated positioned in a feed tray 54 of a printer shown generally at 58.
- the printer 58 can be an ink jet, electrophotographic or laser printer.
- An example of a preferred printer 58 is the Laser Jet III printer available from Hewlett Packard.
- Tab sheet assembly 50 includes a main body sheet 62.
- Sheet 62 preferably comprises paper, such as paperboard, cover stock, or Bristol paper available from manufacturers such as Champion or International paper.
- the paper is .004 to .011 inch thick, is an 8-1/2 by eleven (or thirteen or fourteen) inch rectangle (or is International A4 size) and has a weight of 100-230 grams per square meter.
- Holes 66 can be provided near the binding edge 70 for securing the sheet 62 in a ring binder (not shown) or the like.
- the binding edge 70 can be reinforced by lamination with a strip of high strength plastic film (not shown), such as polyethylene terephthalate, adhesively attached therealong.
- a strip of flexible sheet material or tab material 74 is wrapped around the opposite edge 78 of the sheet 62.
- the material 74 is preferably based on an opaque plastic film, such as polyethylene terephthalate (e.g. MylarTM) having a thickness of .002-.004 inch, which is coated with a composition such as those taught by Rettker et al., U.S. Patent 5,407,234, suitable for being printed thereon by common desktop printers, such as (ink jet or laser electrophotographic) printer 58.
- a repositionable or releasable adhesive 82 such as UR-1 adhesive available from Avery Dennison, releasably attaches the material 74 to the first or rear face 86 of the sheet 62.
- a permanent pressure sensitive adhesive 90 such as P-9 adhesive available from Avery Dennison, attaches the material 74 to the second or front face 94 of the sheet 62.
- a permanent adhesive 98 such as the P-9 adhesive, applied to the flexible sheet material 74 with a coating 102 to facilitate release applied to the sheet 62 can be used, as shown in FIG. 3a.
- a "permanent” adhesive cannot be separated from the underlying paper sheet without tearing the fibers of the paper, a "releasable” adhesive can. A releasable adhesive also does not leave an adhesive residue.
- the flexible sheet material 74 wraps around the edge 78 of the divider sheet 62, extending onto the front face 94 of the sheet.
- the reinforcing material 74 is continuous along the front face 94. It is subdivided according to one preferred embodiment, however, along the back face 86 into segments 106 by die cuts 110 which extend through the film 74, but not into the sheet 62, as shown in FIG. 6a, for example. That is, these cuts 110 extend perpendicular to the edge 78 of the sheet 62 and across the full width of the material 74 and divide the material into segments 106.
- One, some or all of the segments 106 may be printed, as shown in FIG. 2.
- the user releases the desired segment 106 by peeling it off from the sheet 62. He then rotates it towards the front face 94 and folds it on the score line 114.
- the end 130 of the segment 106 is reattached with the repositionable adhesive 82 to the back face 86 proximate to the edge 78, as shown in FIG. 5.
- a tab 134 extending out from the edge 78 of the sheet o
- the panels 116, 118 adhere to each other to form a double- thickness tab 134.
- the portions of the tab material 74 adhesively attached to the front and rear faces 94, 86 of the sheet 62 stabilize the tab 134 against pivotal motion.
- FIG. 7a is a perspective cross-sectional view through a tab such as shown by line 5-5 in FIG. 4.
- FIG. 7b is similar to FIG. 7a but shows an indented embodiment of the invention with the indented area shown by reference numeral 140.
- indicia 120, 122 which later appear on both sides of the tab 134 advantageously can be printed in a single pass through the desktop printer 58. This is because both sets of indicia (that which will appear on the front and back of the tab 130) are printed on the same side or face of the assembly 50, as can be understood from FIG. 23, for example.
- the user can "reposition" the tab 134 by releasing the section from the adhesive, unfolding it and reattaching it flat against the body face 84 as shown in FIG. 6a, and unfolding and tab forming another section as shown in FIG. 6b.
- the same indicia can be printed by the printer 58 on all segments as shown, or different indicia can be printed on each, as shown in FIG. 2. That is, if needs change and the tab is needed in position #6 instead of #3, then tab #3 is deconstructed using the repositionable adhesive and tab #6 is formed, as can be understood by comparing FIGS. 6a and 6b. This is in lieu of printing up a new sheet with tab #6 printed.
- Color coding and other visual indexing cues as known to those skilled in the art, can also be used to provide further user convenience.
- FIGS. 8a and 8b show an alternative assembly embodiment 150.
- assembly 150 is a more conventional position-specific design.
- a page or sheet 154 with a single "shoulder cut" tab construction 158 made using a similar printable reinforcing film releasably attached to the sheet and after a printing operation to print indicia 162, 164 on opposite sides of score line 168 thereon is shown in these figures.
- the tab is then released, folded and reattached as shown in FIG. 8b and similar to assembly 50. Again, by releasing, rotating, folding and reattaching, a sturdy tab, attractively printed on both faces thereof can be created by the consumer using common personal computing and printing hardware and software.
- the printed tabbed end products such as a tabbed index sheet, include the entire sheet 62.
- another embodiment of this invention includes only a portion of the sheet as the end product. That is, and referring to FIGS. 9-12, after the sheet 200 has been passed through the printer or copier (58), a portion 204 of the sheet to which the tab material 208 is attached is separated away from the rest of the sheet. The tab material 208 is then partially released, folded and reattached similar to the process as described previously to form the printed and outwardly extending tab 212. (Alternatively, after printing, the sheet portion 204 can be separated after the tab 212 has been formed.)
- More than one of these smaller end products 204 can be formed from a single sheet 208, and a preferred smaller end product is a flip-file or ROLODEX type card. Referring to FIG. 9, four of these flip-file (small end product) cards 204, 216, 222, 226 are shown defined on a single sheet 208.
- Perforated lines 230 in the sheet 208 define the portions of the card perimeter not coincident or defined by the sheet edges.
- a separate tab material 208, 234, 238, 242 is provided for each card 204, 216, 222, 226, the tab material being wrapped around the corresponding edge of the sheet 200 and adhered flat to both sheet faces.
- the portion of the tab material on one face of the sheet is divided by a (score) line 246, 250, 254, 258.
- Indicia 262, 266 is printed on both sides of the line by passing the sheet 200 through a printer or copier. That tab material portion is then released, folded and reattached, as previously described, to form an outwardly extending tab 212, with printed indicia 262, 266 on both sides thereof.
- the printable media (200) can be a sheet of paper such as ten mil thick cardstock available from Simpson Paper Mill in Pomona, California.
- the paper sheet 200 can have a thickness of preferably between six or seven and twenty mils, and a weight of between sixty and one hundred and fifty pounds.
- the sheet can be a fifty- seven pound vellum bristol, approximately 7.5 mil thick, such as that available from Wausau or Champion, or ninety pound index paper, approximately seven mil thick, such as that available from International Paper.
- the microperforations or perforation lines 230 consist of cuts which vary in size from 0.0125 to 0.0135 inch and which are separated by ties that vary in size from .0045 to .0050 inch. Thus, there are between fifty-three and fifty-nine perforations per inch, with about fifty-six perforations being an average therebetween. However, it is also within the scope of the invention for the perforations of line 230 to be only thirty-five perforations per inch, or in the range of from thirty-five to fifty-nine perforations per inch.
- the card(s) is (are) separated from the rest of the sheet 200.
- the card By pulling along the perforation lines 230 (and thereby) breaking the ties, the card separates out easily, quickly and accurately.
- Each of the four cards 204, 216, 222, 226 is separated out and its tabs formed.
- the remainder of the sheet 200 can be discarded, if desired.
- bulbous shaped slots 270, 274 are formed (by the perforation line 230 in the edge of the card opposite to that of the tabs). These slots 270, 274 are for fitting, in a known manner, the cards onto a ROLODEX type of ringed file (not shown).
- flip-file cards defined on the sheet can be provided as would be apparent to those skilled in the art. Each card should preferably abut a sheet edge so that the tab material can be wrapped around the sheet edge and adhered to both faces of the sheet.
- flip-file cards other smaller end products can be formed from a single larger sheet, as would be apparent to those skilled in the art.
