Extended dividers
A divider assembly is shown and described herein. A divider assembly for dividing a stack of sheets, the divider assembly may include a sleeve having a first edge and an opposite second edge. A label display element inserted into the sleeve having at least one label indicia generally aligned along the first edge of the sleeve. At least one divider may include a first edge and an opposite second edge and a tab extending from the first edge. The tab may be extend beyond the first edge of the sleeve such that a user may view the at least one label indicia at a position adjacent and inward relative to the tabs.
Sheet binding device, post-processing device, and image forming system
A sheet binding device includes a pressurizing unit that pressurizes a sheet bundle to bind the sheet bundle, a pressurizing section that is disposed in the pressurizing unit and configured to be moved from a waiting position separated from the sheet bundle to a pressurizing position at which the pressurizing section pressurizes the sheet bundle, a drive motor that actuates the pressurizing unit, and a controller that controls the drive motor such that the pressurizing section is engaged with the sheet bundle at a predetermined setting velocity.

Loose-leaf binder device
A loose-leaf binder device comprises a back, two end plugs that can selectively close two ends of the back, and a loose-leaf coil for binding inner pages and selectively disposed below the back. The back is formed with an insert slot. A retaining hole communicating with the insert slot is formed on a portion of the back abutting upon an end edge. The end plug is integrally formed with a resilient member to be inserted into the insert slot. A top surface of the resilient member is formed with one post corresponding to the retaining hole of the back. A free end of the resilient member is formed with an upward compressing edge. Thus, the post on the resilient member can be actuated through a compressing edge according to the resilient member of the end plug so that the post is selectively engaged with or disengaged from the back.
DISK-BOUND SCRAPBOOK SYSTEMS WITH COVERED SPINE
A scrapbook system is disclosed. The scrapbook system includes a pair of covers an intermediate panel connecting the pair of pivotable covers, a stack of plural pages and a plurality of disks releasably mounting the pages on the disks between the covers. Each of the disks is circular and has a generally planar central section and an enlarged peripheral rim. The covers are pivotally connected to each other by an intermediate member. The disks are concealed from the outside of the scrapbook system when the covers are closed by means of a cover. At least some of the pages include at least one pocket for receipt of a keepsake item, with portions of at least some of the pages being transparent to enable one to view a keepsake item located in the pocket through the transparent portion of the page.
Sheet processing apparatus and image forming apparatus having binding processing function
A sheet processing apparatus includes a binding unit configured to perform binding processing by pressing a sheet bundle, a motor configured to drive the binding unit to press the sheet bundle, and a motor control unit configured to set a driving current of the motor and an upper limit value of the driving current, the motor control unit being configured to set the driving current when starting activating the motor in a state where the binding unit is not pressing the sheet bundle to a first value, and set the upper limit value of the driving current in a period in which the binding unit is pressing the sheet bundle to a second value less than or equal to the first value.
FACT SHEET INTENDED FOR BEING INSERTED BETWEEN TWO PAGES OF A STATIONERY PRODUCT, SUCH AS A NOTEBOOK
A fact sheet for insertion between two pages of a notebook, the notebook pages being bound by a spiral binding. The fact sheet includes a sheet having two generally parallel sides and, along one of the sides, a row of perforations into which the coils of the binding can be inserted to removably secure the sheet to the coils. The row of perforations includes a uniform alternation of oblong perforations and narrower perforations that are narrower than the oblong perforations. The alternation has a period including an oblong perforation and a narrower perforation, which are adjacent and consecutive. Each oblong perforation is shaped to receive either one coil or two coils, depending on the separation of the coils of the stationery product, and each narrow perforation is shaped to receive a single coil.
