Abstract:
A product and system of notebooks that are color-coded to relate to a particular class or subject. For example, a green notebook could relate to a computer class, a red notebook could relate to compounds' molecular structure, etc. The notebooks are fashioned to employ different calligraphy (first, second, third, quadrille 5 mm, 6 mm, 7 mm and regular lines). As presently contemplated, the notebooks will be available in different, bright colors. By way of illustration and not as a limitation, the constituents may be incorporated into a different color coded product.
Abstract:
A three ring binder includes a spine, a front cover and a back cover, each of which includes a substantially solid base plate and an outer plastic shell. The front cover and spine may each include a front cover pocket and a spine pocket, respectively. A tab assembly is slideably mounted within at least the front cover pocket, and the pocket is formed from a transparent plastic sheet such that the tab assembly is viewable through the transparent sheet. The tab assembly may include a support sheet and display sheet. The display sheet may be any type of information or display material as long as it is dimensionally smaller than the support sheet. The support sheet is dimensionally slightly smaller than the pocket so that it can be slidingly inserted into the pocket. The support sheet includes a plurality of tabs, and the display sheet overlies the support sheet and is positioned underneath each of the tabs such that the display sheet is supported and held in a fixed display location relative to the support sheet. A frame may be provided to overly the outer peripheries of both the display sheet and support sheet, and performs a framing function and also conceals the tabs. The frame may be an integral part of the binder or may be a supplemental sheet forming part of the tab assembly.
Abstract:
In a production method for a booklet having an over-size cover sheet, first all the pages of the booklet are joined together and connected. Thereupon the cover sheet is at first folded aside and the remaining sheets are cut to the desired format. Subsequently, the cover sheet is brought to the desired over-size format in a special method, preferably using a laser beam. A booklet in which the cover sheet is cut in different manner than the remaining stack of sheets is produced according to the production process indicated above.
Abstract:
A system for archiving books of varying types and sizes for ease of identification and retrieval comprising, in combination a book and a sleeve adapted to cooperate therewith. The book is of the type that includes a plurality of pages bound to a spine between front and back covers and wherein at least a portion of the book proximate the spine is magnetized or is magnetic. The sleeve comprises a front sleeve section and a back sleeve section and a centrally positioned spine sleeve section and wherein the spine sleeve section is connected to the front sleeve section on one side and is connected to the back sleeve section on the opposite side and further, wherein at least a portion of said sleeve is magnetized or magnetic such that when said sleeve is positioned so that the front sleeve section, back sleeve section and spine sleeve section overlie the respective front cover, back cover and spine of the book, the book and the sleeve are maintained in connected relation by magnetic forces of attraction.
Abstract:
The present invention is a system for labeling and displaying information on one or more data storage packages. The present invention relates particularly to providing covers with information on the outer surfaces of compact disc, DVD and other product containers. Labels may be attached to stacks of one or more rigid holders in order to display information on the cover, spine or base. Printed graphic cards may be inserted between the rigid plastic holders and covers of clear, flexible cover material. The clear cover material is formed into a clear pocket attached at the opening edge of the rigid cover and base. Alternatively, printed graphic cards are adhered to the outer rigid holders by placing adhesive on the cover and base holders but not on the spines. Also, a clear pocket may be attached to the spine of a stack of rigid holders with a printed graphic insert sliding into the pocket.
Abstract:
The method and apparatus for color coding library books and/or shelved media system that utilizes a plurality of color coded labels. Each label has a number of bands of horizontally disposed colors and each color in the color band is assigned to a unique letter, or number, forming part of the alpha-numeric library code and/or shelved media system. Each label further includes a removable spacing tab along its lower edge which, when the label is mounted to the designated book, the bottom edge of the removable spacing tab is aligned with the bottom edge of the spine of the book. Upon affixing the label to the book or the media case, the removable spacing tab is separated from the label by a horizontal separation joint, thereby aligning the bottom edge of the remaining portion of the label at a fixed position relative to the bottom of the book.

Abstract:
A bound system including a plurality of pages and a cover/divider bound to the plurality of pages and having at least one free edge. The cover/divider includes a tab secured to a body of the cover/divider such that the tab is movable between an extended position wherein at least part of the tab protrudes beyond the free edge and a refracted position wherein the at least part of the tab does not protrude beyond the free edge. The cover/divider has a slit/opening formed or pre-formed therein and positioned adjacent to the tab and spaced away from the free edge. The slit/opening is positioned such that at least part of the tab is receivable through the slit/opening when the tab is in the extended position.
