Abstract
An integrated divider tab and tab labeling system is comprised of tabs at the bottom and side edges of bound material. Tabs are positioned and labeled to provide quick access to information of initial interest, then efficient maneuverability from one subject to another. Users of the system group information in general categories, then further organize each of the information groups into corresponding subgroups. Once each group and subgroup are labeled, the user saves time in finding and referring to information by following the natural thought process of first locating group, then subgroup. Thus a considerably more versatile divider tab system saves time both in compiling information and accessing it for productive use.
Claims20
A method of organizing and accessing information, comprising:
- a. segregating said information into subject sections and assigning associated physical and visual identifiers;
- and
- b. organizing each said segregated subject section into useful information subsections and assigning associated physical and visual identifiers subordinate to their respective subject section identifier;
- Whereby each of said subject sections comprises physical and visual identifiers that distinguishes each subject section from one another and urges association with its corresponding subordinate group of subsection physical and visual identifiers;
- and whereby each group of subsections comprises physical and visual identifiers that urges association with its corresponding subject section for expeditious location and retrieval of specifically desired information on demand.
A divider tab and tab labeling system, comprising:
- a. a plurality of section divider tabs disposed along a first edge of bound material such that each of the plurality of section divider tabs is in direct view of a user;
- and
- b. a plurality of groups of subsection divider tabs disposed along a second edge of said bound material, each group of subsection divider tabs being subordinate to a corresponding one of said plurality of section divider tabs;
- wherein each of said plurality of section divider tabs comprises indicia that distinguishes each section divider tab from one another and urges association with its corresponding subordinate group of subsection divider tabs;
- and wherein each group of subsection divider tabs comprises indicia that urges association with its corresponding section divider tab.
A divider tab and tab labeling system, comprising:
- a. indicia means simultaneously distinguishing members of a first plurality of divider tabs and cooperating with a second plurality of divider tabs indexed by said first plurality divider tabs;
- and
- b. affixing means providing alignment of said indicia with each tab;
- whereby divider tabs are labeled in cooperation with their physical disposition to precisely align indicia on each divider tab;
- and whereby alignment of divider tab indicia along a common binder edge is achieved.
A divider tab and tab labeling system, comprising:
- a. a plurality of labeled section divider tabs disposed along a first edge of bound material such that each of the plurality of labeled section divider tabs is in direct view of a user;
- and
- b. a plurality of groups of labeled subsection divider tabs disposed along a second edge of said bound material, each said group of subsection divider tabs being subordinate to a corresponding one of said plurality of section divider tabs;
- wherein each of said plurality of labeled section divider tabs comprises combination label-tabs adhesively placed on section sheets;
- and wherein each group of subsections comprises combination label-tabs adhesively placed on subsection sheets.
