Abstract
A binding strip is disclosed for use with continuous paper forms having punched marginal portions and printout pages therebetween, and thereby being adapted for handling by spoked ratchets of paper-advance mechanisms, the binding strip comprises a flat web of material having an adhesive coating on one side thereof; at least two spaced apertures therethrough dimensioned to accept successive spokes of the paper advance mechanism; and a perforation along a line between the spaced apertures so that upon adherence of the binding strip to the continuous paper form, the perforation is adapted to coincide with the printout page edge. A form of the disclosed device is also shown wherein the adhesive coating is barred from a portion of the web adjacent the perforation for facilitating bursting of the form.
Claims4
An improved computer printout sheet comprising, in combination:
- a continuous paper form having punched marginal portions and printout pages therebetween being adapted for handling by spoked ratchets of paper-advance mechanisms;
- a binding strip having a flat web of reinforcing adhered thereto;
- said binding strip with at least two spaced apertures therethrough dimensioned to accept successive spokes of said paper advance mechanism;
- and
- a perforation along a line between said spaced apertures so that with said binding strip adhered to said continuous paper form, the perforation is adapted to coincide with the printout page edge,
- whereby said binding strip is adapted to connect the punched marginal portion of two adjacent ones of said continuous paper forms.
