Sheet dividers with multiple rows of offset tabs

A method of dividing a plurality of sheets, comprising the steps of:

• acquiring a first plurality of dividers, each divider in the first plurality thereof comprising:
• (i) a sheet having a width Wa measured between opposing first and second edges of the sheet, and (ii) a tab extending by a width TWa from the second edge of the sheet, each of said tabs in the first plurality of dividers having a length La and being arranged at a location along the second edge of its respective sheet that is different from the location of all the other tabs in the first plurality of dividers;
• acquiring a second plurality of dividers, each divider in the second plurality thereof comprising:
• (i) a sheet having a width Wb measured between opposing first and second edges of the sheet, and (ii) a tab extending by a width TWb from the second edge of the sheet, each of said tabs in the second plurality of dividers having a length Lb and being arranged at a location along the second edge of its respective sheet that is different from the location of all the other tabs in the second plurality of dividers, wherein a combined width of Wb and TWb is greater than a combined width of Wa and TWa when the first edges of the first plurality of dividers are aligned with the first edges of the second plurality of dividers, Wb is greater than Wa, wherein the second edges of the second plurality of dividers extend further from their respective second edges than the tabs of the first plurality of dividers when all dividers in the first plurality are stacked above the dividers in the second plurality, and La is equal to Lb;
• and
• assembling the dividers in a stack such that all dividers in the first plurality are above the dividers in the second plurality.

A set of sheet dividers, comprising:

• a first plurality of dividers, each divider in the first plurality thereof including:
• (i) a sheet having a width Wa measured between opposing first and second edges of the sheet, and (ii) a tab extending by a width TWa from the second edge of the sheet, each of said tabs in the first plurality of dividers having a length La;
• and
• a second plurality of dividers, each divider in the second plurality thereof including:
• (i) a sheet having a width Wb measured between opposing first and second edges of the sheet, and (ii) a tab extending by a width TWb from the second edge of the sheet, each of said tabs in the second plurality of dividers having a length Lb, and La is equal to Lb;
• wherein:
• the first plurality of dividers is configured to be stacked such that the first edges of the sheets of the first plurality of dividers align with one another, the second edges of the sheets of the first plurality of dividers align with one another, and the tabs of the first plurality of dividers are staggered relative to one another when stacked,
• the second plurality of dividers is configured to be stacked such that the first edges of the sheets of the second plurality of dividers align with one another, the second edges of the sheets of the second plurality of dividers align with one another, and the tabs of the second plurality of dividers are staggered relative to one another when stacked,
• a combined width of Wb and TWb is greater than a combined width of Wa and TWa,
• Wb is greater than Wa, wherein the second edges of the second plurality of dividers extend further from their respective second edges than the tabs of the first plurality of dividers when all dividers in the first plurality are stacked above the dividers in the second plurality;
• wherein sheets of each divider in the first plurality of dividers and the sheets of each divider in the second plurality of dividers further includes a plurality of preformed holes proximate to the first edge of the sheets;
• and
• a table-of-contents sheet bearing a plurality of delineated spaces, each delineated space disposed on the table-of-contents sheet to correspond to a particular tab of the first or second pluralities of dividers when the table-of-contents sheet is arranged in a stack with the first and second pluralities of dividers.
