ABSTRACT:
A loose-leaf binder (10) or other bound volume has a slot (24) defined between the outer surface of a spine (12) thereof, and a transparent overlay (22) attached over the spine (12), into which a label (30) can be inserted. The cover (22) is sealed to the spine (12) along its longitudinal edges (46). An elongated, flexible label leader (26) is designed to extend through the slot (24) and protrude therefrom at its opposite ends. An adhesive portion (28) is formed at one end of the leader (26). The label (30) may be inserted into the slot (24) by releasably adhering one end of the label (30) to the adhesive portion (28) of the leader (26), and pulling on the other end of the leader (26), thereby pulling the attached label (30) into the slot (24). The binder (10) may be retrofit with a label leader (26) by inserting a narrow, thin tool (40) into the slot (24) such that the opposite ends of the tool (40) protrude from the ends of the slot (24), releasably adhering the adhesive portion (28) of the leader (26) to one end of the tool (40), and pulling on the other end of the tool (40) such that the leader (26) is pulled into the slot (24) and the adhesive portion (28) of the leader (26) operatively protrudes from the slot (24). Where one transverse edge (22a,22b) of the cover (22) is initially sealed to the spine (12), one end of the tool (40) may be formed with a sharp cutting edge (44) for puncturing the sealed edge (22a,22b) of the cover (22) to enable the tool (40) and leader (26) to pass therethrough.
