Pull-tab for use as handle on notebooks, binders, boxes, or drawers

Abstract

A pull-tab ( 15 ) design for providing a convenient handle for use on a looseleaf notebook ( 16 ) or other object such as, but not limited to, a binder, box, drawer, or storage bin. The user removes a protective strip which covers a permanent-type adhesive on the pull-tab. This permits the pull-tab to be attached to the desired object, and facilitates easy removal of the object from a storage location. The handle of the pull-tab may be imprinted or annotated for identification and/or color-coded for rapid identification. The pull-tab may be produced in a continuous length and cut to the desired length by the user.
