Abstract

A divider assembly is shown and described herein. The divider assembly may divide a stack of sheets, the divider assembly may include a body and a tab extending from the body. A first side of the body and a first side of the tab may include a cover or coating. The cover or coating may include designs or indicia. A second side of the body may include a covered portion and a non-covered portion. A second side of the tab may be non-covered. Non-covered portions may be compatible with more or different writing instruments than covered portions. The divider assembly may be reversible such that the first side or the second side may be utilized.

First claim

Having thus described the invention, we claim:

1. A divider assembly, comprising:
a body made of an unfolded planar base material, the body having a first side and an opposite second side, the first side comprising a first surface with an exposed portion of the base material and a covered material adjacent an edge of the body, the second side comprising a second surface;
at least one aperture formed within the body adjacent the edge of the body and through said covered material; and
said cover material attached to the second side of the body, the cover material covers the entire second surface of the second side and the cover material comprises a first indicia on the second side, wherein the cover material is wrapped from the second side to at least a portion of the first side of the first surface of the body, the cover material on the first surface comprises a second indicia wherein the first indicia covering said second side includes a common continuous design with the second indicia covering said first side.

2. The divider assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the exposed portion of the base material includes a third indicia printed thereon different from the second indicia of the cover material.

3. The divider assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the cover material is at least one of plastic, metal, foil, coated paper, film, ink, paint, and sprayable material.

4. The divider assembly according to claim 3 , wherein the cover material includes pre-printed indicia.

5. The divider assembly according to claim 1 , further comprising a tab extending from a perimeter of the body.

6. The divider assembly according to claim 5 , wherein the cover material is attached to the second side and covers the entire second surface including the tab.

7. The divider assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the base material is at least one of paper, plastic, metal, foil, laminated paper, or coated paper.

8. The divider assembly according to claim 7 , further comprising at least one aperture formed within the body.

9. The divider assembly according to claim 7 , wherein the exposed portion of the base material includes a third indicia printed thereon different from the first indicia of the cover material.

10. The divider assembly according to claim 7 , wherein the cover material is at least one of plastic, metal, foil, coated paper, film, ink, paint, and sprayable material.

11. The divider assembly according to claim 7 , further comprising a tab extending from an edge of the body.

12. The divider assembly according to claim 7 , wherein the base material is at least one of paper, plastic, metal, foil, laminated paper, or coated paper.

13. The divider assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the base material has a first thickness dimension, the cover material has a second thickness dimension, the first thickness dimension is greater than the second thickness dimension.

14. A divider assembly comprising:
a body comprising a base material having a single layer with a first side and a second side, the first side includes an exposed portion of the base material and a covered portion; and
a cover material including a first indicia attached to the second side of the body, the cover material covers the entire second side of the body and covering the covered portion of the first side of the body, the cover material is wrapped from the second side to cover an edge of the body and at least a portion of the first side, the covered portion of the first side of the body comprises a second indicia wherein the first indicia covering said second side includes a common continuous design with the second indicia covering said covered portion.

15. A divider assembly, comprising:
a body having a tab extending from a perimeter and made of an unfolded planar base material, the body having a first side and an opposite second side, the first side comprising a first surface with an exposed portion of the base material and a covered portion, the exposed portion displaying a design or indicia, the second side comprising a second surface; and
a cover material displaying a design or indicia attached to and covering the base material along the entire second surface of a second side, the cover material covering the covered portion of the base material along the first side adjacent said perimeter opposite from said tab,
wherein the design or indicia of the cover material is different from the design or indicia of the exposed portion of the base material; and
wherein the exposed portion is compatible to receiving writing from a utensil and the cover material is less compatible to receive writing from a utensil than the exposed portion of the base material.
