Indexing system package and display system
View Patent ↗An indexing system with a label display configured for connection to a stack holder for placement adjacent a stack of sheets held in the stack holder. The display has a label portion disposed in a viewing position beyond the stack and is configured for displaying label indicia thereon for identifying a section of the stack. A divider is configured for dividing the section of the stack from other sections and for mounting in the stack holder within the stack. A tab connected to the divider and positionable extending beyond the stack and over the label portion is configured to permit viewing of the indicia therethrough with the divider held in the stack holder. An indexing system package and a system for displaying indexing system packages is also disclosed.
1. An indexing system comprising:
a label display element adjacent a divided stack of objects, the label display element including a plurality of spaced label indicia disposed beyond an edge of the stack, each label indicia identifying a separate divided portion of the divided stack of objects; and
a plurality of tabs substantially adjacent the objects of the stack, each tab extending beyond the stack, over the label display element, and over a respective label indicia on the label display element, each tab being offset from the label indicia such that at least one separate divided portion of the divided stack of objects may be interposed between the tab and the label indicia, and each tab including a sufficiently translucent material such that the respective label indicia is visible through the material.
2. The indexing system of claim 1 , wherein the tabs are offset from one another by at least one of the separate divided portions of the divided stack of objects such that each tab is offset from the label display element at a different distance.
3. The indexing system of claim 1 , wherein the label display element includes a single sheet of material containing the plurality of label indicia.
4. The indexing system of claim 1 , wherein the label display element is adjacent one end of the stack of objects.
5. The indexing system of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of label indicia is spaced to extend substantially along the entire edge of the stack.
6. The indexing system of claim 1 , wherein each tab has a length shorter than a total length of the edge of the stack.
7. The indexing system of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of tabs is substantially equally spaced along the entire edge of the stack.
8. The indexing system of claim 1 , wherein each tab is coupled to a divider configured for dividing two of the separate divided portions of the divided stack of objects.
9. The indexing system of claim 1 , further comprising a second label display element, the first and second label display elements adjacent apposite ends of the stack.
10. An indexing system for use with an apparatus capable of holding a plurality of objects in a stack, the indexing system comprising:
a label display element positioned at a first location relative to the stack, the label display element including first and second spaced label indicia disposed beyond an edge of the stack, the first label indicia identifying a first object in the stack and the second label indicia identifying a second object in the stack;
a first tab positioned at a second location relative to the stack such that the first tab is offset from the label display element by at least one object in the stack, the first tab extending beyond the edge of the stack, over the label display element, and over the first label indicia on the label display element, the first tab including a sufficiently translucent material such that the first label indicia is visible through the first tab; and
a second tab positioned at a third location relative to the stack such that the second tab is offset from the first tab by at least one object in the stack, the second tab extending beyond the edge of the stack, over the label display element, and over the second label indicia on the label display element, the second tab including a sufficiently translucent material such that the second label indicia is visible through the second tab.
11. The indexing system of claim 10 , wherein the first and second label indicia are spaced along the edge of the stack.
12. The indexing system of claim 10 , wherein the first and second tabs each have a length shorter than a total length of the edge of the stack.
13. The indexing system of claim 10 , wherein the first and second tabs are generally spaced from one another in a direction extending along the edge of the stack.
14. The indexing system of claim 10 , wherein the first tab is coupled to a first divider configured for separating the objects of the stack, the second tab is coupled to a second divider configured for separating the objects of the stack, and the second divider is spaced from the first divider by at least one object of the stack.
15. The indexing system of claim 10 , wherein the label display element includes a single sheet of material containing the first and second label indicia.
16. The indexing system of claim 10 , wherein the label display element is adjacent one end of the stack of objects.
17. The indexing system of claim 10 , wherein the apparatus capable of holding the plurality of objects in a stack is one of a binder, a folder, a notebook, a paper pad, a report cover, a book, an accordion file, and a disk holder.
18. The indexing system of claim 10 , further comprising a second label display element, the first and second label display elements adjacent opposite ends of the stack.
19. The indexing system of claim 10 , wherein the first and second tabs are different colors.
