Abstract
A tabular indexing system is provided having index insert sheets incorporating perforations defining a plurality of index tabs, so that unused index tabs may be removed from the insert sheets, and protective carries into which the index sheets are inserted. The index insert sheets are preferably the size of a full sheet of paper and may be used in photocopiers for making multiple sets of indexes. Index insert sheets having pre-formed, die-cut tabs also may be used. The protective carriers are suitable for use in loose-leaf binders or the like. The index insert sheets may be provided with perforations defining semicircular tabs that may be opened and used for holding additional sheets of paper on the insert to prevent the index tab from being covered.

In a tabular indexing system having divider sheets placed between pages to be indexed, an indexing system having:
- index insert sheets having index tabs along at least one edge;
- and
- protective carriers having an enclosed pocket area for carrying said index insert sheets, said protective carriers being closed along at least two edges, thereby defining the enclosed pocket area, open along at least a first edge for allowing insertion of the index insert sheets such that the tabs of the index insert sheets extend beyond the pages to be indexed.
In a tabular indexing system having divider sheets placed between pages to be indexed, the indexing system with divider sheets comprising:
- index insert sheets having index tabs along at least one edge, the index insert sheets being of the same size as the pages to be indexed;
- and
- protective carriers having an enclosed pocket area for receiving the index insert sheets, said protective carriers being closed along the periphery of at least two edges thereby defining the enclosed pocket area, and open along at least a first edge for allowing insertion of the index insert sheets such that the index tabs along at least one edge of the index insert sheets extend beyond the pages to be indexed.
