Abstract
A removable and reattachable table of contents for bound volumes is disclosed. In a preferred embodiment, the index is the table of contents page of a soft-bound periodical or magazine and is removably attached to the magazine by a series of perforations along one edge. The page additionally carries a releasable self-stick adhesive so that the page can be reinserted and reattached at other desired locations in the volume to provide both a readily available table of contents and a marker at the desired location.

A bound volume of printed material such as a magazine or periodical and comprising:
- a plurality of individual printed pages bound together at a binding and making up a plurality of indexable printed entries in said bound volume, at least one of said pages having an index printed on at least one of the faces thereof which index is related to said indexable printed entries;
- means removably attaching said one page to the others of said pages;
- and
- a repeatedly releasable self-stick adhesive carried by said one page on the face of said one page opposite to said at least one face having an index printed thereon for removably reattaching said one page to any one of the other of said pages of said bound volume, whereby said one page may be initially removed from its original position and reattached to another desired page in said bound volume and then repeatedly to another desired page in said bound volume and then repeatedly removed and reattached as desired to thereby mark a page or page location for a reader and to provide a readily available index to the reader at the marked page.
A removable and reattachable index or table of contents page for being bindingly included at an original position in a bound volume such as a magazine or periodical formed of a plurality of printed pages and a binding and having a plurality of indexable printed entries therein, which index page can be removed from its original position and repeatedly repositioned as desired at any particular page in the bound volume, said index page comprising:
- means for binding one edge of said page to the binding of a bound volume;
- a series of perforations extending adjacent and generally parallel to the said one edge of said page for making at least a portion of said index page removable from a volume to which said page is bound;
- a printed index on at least one of the faces of said removable portion of said page, which index corresponds to the indexable printed entries in the volume;
- and
- a repeatedly releasable self-stick adhesive carried by said page on the face of the removable portion of said page opposite to said at least one face having an index printed thereon for reattaching said removable portion of said page to any other page in the bound volume whereby said page may be initially removed from its original position and reattached to another desired page in a bound volume and then repeatedly removed and reattached as desired to thereby mark a page or page location for a reader and to provide a readily available index to the reader at the marked page.
A soft-covered, staple-bound periodical comprising:
- a plurality of individual printed pages stapled together to form a binding, said pages making up a plurality of indexable printed entries in the periodical;
- an indicia page bound to said binding at an original position in said periodical, said indicia page having a table of contents printed on at least one of the faces thereof which corresponds to the printed entries in said periodical;
- a series of perforations on said indicia page extending adjacent and generally parallel to said binding for making at least a portion of said indicia page removable from said periodical;
- and
- a longitudinal strip of repeatedly releasable, self-stick adhesive carried by said indicia page adjacent said perforations and on the face of said page opposite said face upon which said table of contents is printed, whereby the indicia page may be removed along said perforations from its original position and be removably reattached to another desired page or page location in said periodical to thereby temporarily mark a desired page or page location for a reader and to provide a readily available index to the reader at the marked page and to allow the reader to reattachably change the position of the card-like table of contents as desired.
