8. The dividing apparatus of claim 5 wherein the first removable tab includes a first spine tab and the second removable tab includes a second spine tab, wherein a length of the first spine tab is unequal to a length of the second spine tab.
9. The dividing apparatus of claim 5 wherein the first removable tab includes a first spine tab and the second removable tab includes a second spine tab, wherein the first spine tab and the second spine tab are disposed at different lengths along a spine of the wire binding when secured to the spine.
10. The dividing apparatus of claim 1 wherein the second side of the body portion has a non-linear edge.
11. A bound assembly having the dividing apparatus of claim 1 incorporated therein.
12. A set of divider tabs comprising:
a first removable divider tab being removable from a wire binding, the first removable divider tab having:
a first body portion;
a first attachment portion extending from a first side of the first body portion to facilitate the first removable divider tab being securely attached to the wire binding;
a first flag portion extending from a second side of the first body portion; and
a first spine tab disposed adjacent the attachment portion, wherein the spine tab portion is configured to display information within a cylindrical space defined by the wire binding to which the first removable divider tab is configured to attach; and
a second removable divider tab being removable from the wire binding, the second removable divider tab having:
a second body portion;
a second attachment portion extending from a first side of the second body portion to facilitate the second removable divider tab being securely attached to the wire binding;
a second flag portion extending from a second side of the second body portion; and
a second spine tab disposed adjacent the second attachment portion, wherein the second spine tab portion is configured to display information within the cylindrical space defined by the wire binding to which the second removable divider tab is attached; and
wherein the first spine portion and the second spine portion are disposed along different lengths of the cylindrical space defined by the wire binding.
13. A bound assembly having the set of divider tabs of claim 12 incorporated therein.
14. The bound assembly of claim 13 wherein the first flag portion and the second flag portion are disposed along different lengths of an upper edge of the bound assembly when attached the bound assembly.
15. A set of divider tabs comprising:
a first removable divider tab being removable from a wire binding, the first removable divider tab having:
a first body portion;
a first attachment portion extending from a first side of the first body portion to facilitate the first removable divider tab being securely attached to the wire binding; and
a first flag portion extending from a second side of the first body portion;
a second removable divider tab being removable from the wire binding, the second removable divider tab having:
a second body portion;
a second attachment portion extending from a first side of the second body portion to facilitate the second removable divider tab being securely attached to the wire binding; and
a second flag portion extending from a second side of the second body portion;
and wherein the first and second flag portions are disposed an unequal distance from the wire binding when attached to the wire binding.
16. The set of divider tabs of claim 15 wherein the first removable divider tab further comprises a first spine tab portion and the second removable divider tab further comprises a second spine tab portion.
17. The set of divider tabs of claim 16 wherein the first spine portion and the second spine portion are disposed along different lengths of the cylindrical space defined by the wire binding.
18. The set of divider tabs of claim 16 wherein the first side of the first and second removable divider tabs and the second side of the first and second removable divider tabs are orthogonal to one another.
19. A bound assembly having the set of divider tabs of claim 15 incorporated therein.
