Abstract

Disclosed is a divider adhesion strip assembly that includes a sheet with a front side and a bottom side having a perimeter that is defined by a first edge, a second edge, a third edge, and a fourth edge wherein the first edge is opposite the second edge and the third edge is opposite the fourth edge. A first laminate strip portion may be adhered to the front side of the divider sheet. The first laminate strip portion is positioned along the first edge of the sheet and extends between the third edge and the fourth edge. A plurality of apertures may be aligned adjacent the second edge of the sheet. A tab member having indicia thereon and an adhesive portion may be provided wherein the adhesive portion is configured to adhere to the first laminate strip portion such that the indicia extends past the perimeter of the sheet.

First claim

Having thus described the invention, I claim:

1. A divider assembly comprising:
a sheet having a front side and an opposite bottom side having a perimeter that is defined by a first edge, a second edge, a third edge, and a fourth edge wherein the first edge is opposite the second edge and the third edge is opposite the fourth edge;
a first laminate strip portion adhered to the front side of the divider sheet, the first laminate strip portion is positioned along the first edge of the sheet, the first laminate strip portion extends up to and against the third edge and the fourth edge along a length of the first edge;
a second laminate strip portion adhered to the front side of the divider sheet, the second laminate strip portion is positioned along the second edge of the sheet, the second laminate strip portion extends between the third edge and the fourth edge; and
at least one tab having an adhesive portion, the tab is removably adhered to at least one of the first and second laminate strip portions.

2. The divider assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the first laminate strip portion is made of a generally see-through material.

3. The divider assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the sheet is made of paper.

4. The divider assembly according to claim 1 , wherein a plurality of apertures are aligned along the second laminate strip portion to allow the divider assembly to attach to a binder or folder.

5. The divider assembly according to claim 1 , wherein labeling indicia is provided on the at least one tab and wherein the indicia extends past the perimeter of the sheet.

6. The divider assembly according to claim 1 , further comprising a third laminate strip portion adhered to at least one of the front side and the bottom side of the sheet, the third laminate strip portion is positioned along the third edge of the sheet, the third laminate strip portion extends between the first edge and the second edge.

7. The divider assembly according to claim 6 , further comprising a fourth laminate strip portion adhered to at least one of the front side and the bottom side of the sheet, the fourth laminate strip portion is positioned along the fourth edge of the sheet, the fourth laminate strip portion extends between the first edge and the second edge.

8. The divider assembly according to claim 7 , wherein the at least one tab is adhered to at least one of the first, second, third, and fourth laminate strip portions.

9. The divider assembly according to claim 6 , wherein the third laminate strip portion is generally rectangular shaped and the fourth laminate strip portion is generally rectangular shaped.

10. The divider assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the sheet is generally rectangular shaped.

11. The divider assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the first laminate strip portion is generally rectangular shaped.

12. The divider assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the second laminate strip portion is generally rectangular shaped.

13. The divider assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the first and second laminate strip portions are made from at least one of a polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), or polyvinyl chloride (PVC) type films.

14. The divider assembly according to claim 1 , wherein a bottom laminate strip portion is provided on the bottom side of the sheet.

15. The divider assembly according to claim 14 , wherein the bottom laminate strip portion is aligned with the first laminate strip portion along the first edge of the sheet.

16. A method of applying tab members to a divider assembly, the method comprising:
providing a sheet having a front side and an opposite bottom side having a perimeter that is defined by a first edge, a second edge, a third edge, and a fourth edge wherein the first edge is opposite the second edge and the third edge is opposite the fourth edge;
applying a first laminate strip portion to the front side of the divider sheet, the first laminate strip portion is positioned along the first edge of the sheet, the first laminate strip portion extends up to an against the third edge and the fourth edge along a length of the first edge;
applying a second laminate strip portion to the front side of the divider sheet, the second laminate strip portion is positioned along the second edge of the sheet, the second laminate strip portion extends between the third edge and the fourth edge; and
adhering a selectively removable tab member to at least one of the first laminate strip portion and the second laminate strip portion such that a portion of the tab member extends past the perimeter of the sheet.

17. A divider assembly comprising:
a sheet having a front side and an opposite bottom side having a perimeter that is defined by a first edge, a second edge, a third edge, and a fourth edge wherein the first edge is opposite the second edge and the third edge is opposite the fourth edge;
a first laminate strip portion adhered to the front side of the sheet, the first laminate strip portion is positioned along the first edge of the sheet, the first laminate strip portion extends up to an against the third edge and the fourth edge along a length of the first edge;
a plurality of apertures aligned adjacent the second edge of the sheet; and
a tab member having an adhesive portion wherein the adhesive portion of the tab member adheres to the first laminate strip portion such that the tab member extends past the perimeter of the sheet.

18. The divider assembly according to claim 17 , further comprising a second laminate strip portion adhered to the bottom side of the sheet, the second laminate strip portion is positioned along the first edge of the sheet, the second laminate strip portion extends between the third edge and the fourth edge.

19. The divider assembly according to claim 17 , wherein the sheet is generally a rectangle shape.

20. The divider assembly according to claim 17 , wherein the first laminate strip is generally a rectangle shape.

21. The divider assembly according to claim 17 , wherein a labeling indicia is provided on at least one tab and wherein the indicia extends past the perimeter of the sheet.
