OVERLAY BINDER INCLUDING EASY-RELEASE LABEL LEADER

摘要

A loose-leaf binder (40) or other bound work has aslot (44) defined between the outer surface of a cover orspine (48) thereof, and a transparent overlay (46) attachedover the spine (48) into which a label (54) can be insert-ed. The overlay (46) is sealed to the spine (48) along itslongitudinal edges. An elongated, flexible label leader(42) extends through the slot (44) and protrudes therefromat its opposite ends. An adhesive portion (52) is formedon a surface (42e) of an end portion (42b) of the leader(42). The label (54) may be inserted into the slot (44) byreleasably adhering an end of the label (54) to the adhe-sive portion (52) of the leader (42), and pulling on anopposite end portion (42c) of the leader (42), therebypulling the attached label (54) into the slot (44). A loopportion (42f) extends from the end portion (42b) of theleader (42), and is folded back and adhered to an oppositesurface (42d) of the end portion (42b). Part of the loopportion (42f) protrudes from the slot (44) when the label(54) is fully inserted, and is pulled to smoothly peel theadhesive portion (52) from the label (54) and detach theleader (42) from the label (54) and binder (40).
