Description

  The present invention relates to an index sheet, and more particularly to an index sheet that can perform predetermined printing on an index tab using a general-purpose printer.

In a file, a binder, or the like, in order to search a bound document, a sheet index label that can be pasted in a state where an outer edge portion of the document is sandwiched is used. A large number of index labels of this type are temporarily attached to a base sheet provided in a predetermined plane size and are commercially available.
However, when printing on this type of index label, it is often necessary to use a dedicated printer programmed in advance according to the plane size, which is suitable for general general-purpose printers. Not.

  In addition, as an index sheet, there is an index sheet integrally provided with the index tab so that the index tab protrudes from the outer edge of the sheet body. However, this type of index sheet has a planar shape in which the index tab partially protrudes. Therefore, there is an inconvenience that the paper feeding mechanism of the printer cannot be supported and printing by the printer cannot be performed.

Patent Document 1 discloses an index sheet suitable for printing on an index tab using a general-purpose type printer.
JP-T-2001-503692

However, in the index sheet described in Patent Document 1, a main body part that forms the index sheet, an index tab that protrudes from the main body part, and a guide that is connected to the main body part so as to surround the index tab. And the guide portion is separated from the main body portion after printing on the index tab.
For this reason, there is an inconvenience that in addition to generating waste due to the provision of the guide portion, a fine work for separating the guide portion from the main body portion is essential, and the usability is poor.

[Object of invention]
The present invention has been devised by paying attention to such inconveniences, and an object of the present invention is to provide an index sheet that can be printed on an index tab using a general-purpose type printer.
Another object of the present invention is to provide an index sheet that can be provided without causing a portion to be discarded.

  In order to achieve the above object, an index sheet according to the present invention is provided with a foldable index tab on the inner side along at least one edge of a sheet body having a pair of left and right edges and a pair of upper and lower edges. The tab is configured to protrude from the edge of the sheet main body by folding back to the outside of the one edge.

  In the present invention, the index tab includes a bent portion extending in parallel with the one edge portion, a pair of cuts directed from the both ends of the bent portion toward the inside of the sheet body, and a connection that connects the inner ends of the cuts to each other. It is provided by forming a notch in the sheet body.

  In addition, the index tab includes a tongue that can shift the surface position within the region, and the tongue interacts with the index tab in a state where the index tab protrudes from the edge of the seat body. The edge of the sheet body may be provided so as to be sandwiched.

Further, the index tab may be continuously provided so as to protrude outward from the edge of the sheet main body, and the index tab may be temporarily attached in a state of overlapping the sheet main body.
At this time, it is preferable that the index tab is temporarily attached to the sheet main body via a pseudo adhesive layer.

  Further, the index tab can be provided at a plurality of locations along the edge of the sheet main body.

  According to the present invention, the index tab is configured to protrude by folding back to the outside of the sheet main body. Therefore, before the printing by the printer, the index tab is positioned in the inner area of the sheet main body and is a general-purpose type printer. Can be used for printing.

  Further, since the index tab can be formed by providing a bent portion and a cut in the region of the sheet main body, the index tab can be used simply by cutting and raising the index tab after the printing and projecting from the outer edge of the sheet main body.

  Further, in the configuration in which the tongue piece is provided in the area of the index tab, it is possible to stably hold the posture in which the index tab protrudes from the edge of the sheet body.

  In addition, printing by a printer can be similarly performed by a configuration in which an index tab that protrudes outward from the edge of the sheet body is provided and is temporarily attached so as to overlap the sheet body. At this time, by adopting a configuration in which the index tab is temporarily attached to the sheet main body through the pseudo adhesive layer, the index tab is kept in close contact with the sheet main body and avoids the inconvenience that the index tab is lifted with respect to the sheet main body. However, printing by a printer can be performed.

  Furthermore, if index tabs are provided at a plurality of locations along the edge of the sheet body, any one of the index tabs can be used arbitrarily, and a single index sheet can be used even if the positions to be applied between documents are different. Can be shared and used at low cost.

  Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 shows a schematic front view of an index sheet according to the present embodiment, and FIG. 2 shows an enlarged sectional view taken along line AA in FIG. In these drawings, the index sheet 10 includes a sheet main body 11 and an index tab 12 provided in the surface of the sheet main body 11.

  The sheet body 11 includes a pair of left and right edges 11A and 11B parallel to each other and a pair of upper and lower edges 11C and 11D. The left and right edges 11A and 11B are longer than the lengths of the upper and lower edges 11C and 11D. Is also provided in a long rectangular planar shape. The plane size of the sheet body 11 is not particularly limited, but in this embodiment, it is a size of a standard A row 4 size, and is not shown in the upper and lower portions of the central portion of the left edge portion 11A in FIG. A binding hole 13 for a file and a binder is formed.

  The index tabs 12 are provided at five locations at a predetermined interval on the inner side along one edge of the sheet body 11, that is, the right edge 11B. Each index tab 12 includes a bent portion 15 extending in parallel with the right edge portion 11B, and a pair of upper and lower cuts 16 directed from the upper and lower ends of the bent portion 15 toward the inside of the sheet body 11, that is, the left edge portion 11A. The sheet main body 11 is provided with a connection cut 17 that connects the inner ends of the cuts 16 to each other. For this reason, the index sheet 12 can be cut and raised from the surface of the sheet main body 11 with the bent portion 15 as the rotation center, and protrudes outward from the right edge portion 11B in a posture substantially parallel to the surface of the sheet main body 11. It can be folded back in the direction, and the heading of characters or the like (see FIG. 3) printed in the protruding area can be visually recognized. The pair of upper and lower cuts 16 are inclined so that the distance between them is narrower than the middle in the width direction. However, the direction of the cuts 16 is not particularly limited, and may be provided in a straight line, for example. The bent portion 15 is formed by applying a streak pattern by pressing when the sheet body 11 is formed using a die-cutting die or the like.

  In the region of the index tab 12, a tongue piece 18 capable of shifting the surface position with respect to the surface of the index tab 12 is provided. As shown in FIG. 1, the tongue piece 18 is formed by providing a substantially U-shaped cut line 20 in a plan view so as to be opposite to the direction in which the cuts 16 and 17 are formed. Yes. The position where the tongue piece 18 is formed in the index tab 12 is a position where the free end side of the tongue piece 18 can be engaged with the right edge portion 11B when the index tab 12 is bent so as to protrude from the right edge portion 11B. It is said that. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, when the index tab 12 is folded back in the direction protruding from the right edge portion 11 </ b> B of the seat body 11, the index tab 12 is temporarily shifted by a predetermined angle with respect to the surface of the index tab 12. However, when the sheet body 11 is turned around to the opposite side of the right edge portion 11B, it interacts with the index tab 12 to sandwich the right edge portion 11B.

  The index sheet 10 is set in a sheet feeding portion of a printer (not shown) with the index tab 12 positioned within the surface of the sheet body 11, and “◯” in FIG. The indicated headline character or the like shown is printed.

  After the printing is finished, the index tab 12 is cut and raised with the bent portion 15 as the rotation center, with the connecting cut 17 side as a free end, and folded back approximately 180 degrees so as to protrude outward from the right edge 11B. Thereafter, the tongue piece 18 is displaced in a direction shifted by a predetermined angle from the surface of the index tab 12, and interacts with the index tab 12 so as to sandwich the right edge portion 11 </ b> B of the sheet main body 11. At this time, since the tongue piece 18 is not provided with a bent portion or the like on the U-shaped open side, even if the surface position is shifted to a position where the right edge portion 11B is sandwiched, the tongue piece 18 attempts to return to the original surface position. In order to generate a repulsive force, a force for sandwiching the right edge portion 11B is applied to keep the protruding position of the index tab 12 in a stable state.

  In the present embodiment, since the index tabs 12 are provided at five positions in the surface of the sheet main body 11, for example, five index sheets are prepared, and the headlines are displayed in a state where they are different from each other. You can print as you can.

  Therefore, according to such an embodiment, it is possible to print a headline or the like on the index tab 12 of the sheet body 11 using a general-purpose printer, and there is no waste of removing a part after printing. An index sheet can be provided.
