Wire bound notebook identification tab

Abstract

A wire bound notebook identification tab is comprised of a writable exterior surface to receive written or labeled identifying information provided to reference the contents or ownership of a wire bound, or spiral bound notebook. The present invention features a hooking mechanism on the underside of each end adapted to secure the unit to the wire or plastic spiraled spine of any such notebook. The writable exterior surface measures comparably to the width of the spine of the spiral notebook with a length appropriate to receive identifying information.

Claims

1. A wire bound notebook identification tab configured to receive alphabetic and/or numeric information upon which to display the contents or ownership of a spiral wire-bound notebook, the wire-bound notebook identification tab comprising: a writable surface which features a first end and a second end, opposite the first end; a narrowed elongated member configured for insertion into an interior tunnel of a coiled wire of the wire bound notebook, wherein; one or more protruding loops upon the elongated member secures the member onto the coiled wire of the spiral notebook, wherein; the narrowed elongated member includes a bendable hinge attached to the first end of the writable surface.

2. The wire bound notebook identification tab of claim 1 wherein the second end further comprises a hook or clip designated to attach the second end of the writable surface to the coil binding of a notebook.

3. In accordance to claim 2, wherein the hook or clip is located on an underside of the second end of the writable surface.

(1) For further understanding of the nature and objects of the present invention, reference should be made to the following detailed description, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which like elements are given the same or analogous reference numbers and wherein:

(2) FIG. 1 is a side plan view of representative wire bound notebooks showing the wire binding threaded through a number of binder holes of a quantity of notebook paper.

(3) FIG. 2 is a side plan view of the wire bound notebook identification tab attached by loops onto the interior of the wire binding of the notebook. The present invention may include a final attachment from a hook or loop or other gripping mechanism on the under-side of the writable surface to secure the structure into place to the exterior of the wire binding, or any other mechanism which secures the wire bound notebook identification tab onto the wire binding of the notebook.

(4) FIG. 3 is a side plan view of an exemplary embodiment of the wire bound notebook identification tab in FIG. 2 secured to the interior of the wire binding of a wire bound notebook of FIG. 1 with the face of the identifying surface secured to the exterior of the wire bound wire binder of the notebook.

(5) FIG. 4 is a front plan view of an exemplary embodiment of the wire bound notebook identification tab in FIG. 2 secured to the wire binder of a wire bound notebook of FIG. 1 with the face of the identifying surface secured to the exterior of the wire bound wire binder of the notebook.

EXEMPLARY MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

(6) FIG. 1 shows representative wire bound notebooks, generally designated 10, including a wire binding, generally designated 12, connected to a quantity of notebook papers, generally designated 14, having a number of spaced apart holes along a side edge, generally designated 16, through which wire binding 12 is threaded.

(7) FIGS. 2 and 3 show various aspects of an exemplary embodiment of the wire bound notebook identification tab of the present invention generally designated 20. Wire bound notebook identification tab includes a clip arm generally designated, 24 for reaching into the interior tunnel of the wire binder 12 of a wire bound notebook 10; one or more protruding loop(s) generally designated 22, designated to secure the wire bound notebook identification tab 20 onto a ring of the wire binding mechanism 12; a flat surface which may be comprised of an identifying surface, generally designated 30, provided on a bendable hinge, generally designated 26, from the clip arm, generally designated 24, devised to be secured with a hook, generally designated 28, to the exterior of the wire binder 12 for receiving identifying information to the tab surface 30, adapted to receive written, printed or labeled identification information 38 thereon.

(8) It can be seen from the preceding description that a wire bound notebook identification tab has been provided.

(9) It is noted that the embodiment of the wire bound notebook identification tab described herein in detail for exemplary purposes is subject to different variations in structure, design, application and methodology. Because many varying and different embodiments may be made within the scope of the inventive concept(s) herein taught, and because many modifications may be made in the embodiment herein detailed in accordance with the descriptive requirements of the law, it is to be understood that the details herein are to be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.
