Definitions

  • the present invention relates to wristbands and methods of manufacturing the same, and in particular to a wristband for identifying a patient in fields such as medical fields by attaching the wristband around the patient's wrist or ankle, and a method of manufacturing such a wristband.
  • the wristband has a tensile strength so as not to be easily cut, and enough toughness so that the wristband itself must be cut in order to be removed when using a fixation clip to attach to a portion-to-be-attached. It is also required that the wristband may not be flexed or curved and may have the indication information remain for certain so as to allow bar codes and other contents to be readable even in a long-term use. Further, there is a problem that various conflicting properties such as water resistance, oil resistance, resistance, and lightweight properties that may possibly have a user forget wearing the wristband as the wristband is light and soft are required in a long-term attachment.
  • the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a wristband having improved toughness, water resistance, and oil resistance or grease resistance while maintaining softness, as well as a method of manufacturing such a wristband.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a light and soft wristband that may provide a sense of light-fitting so as to have a user forget wearing the wristband and may reduce an influence of the worn portion to the skin, as well as a method of manufacturing such a wristband.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a wristband that is flexible and has large tensile strength, and with which breathability of a contact surface for the skin may be ensured, as well as a method of manufacturing such a wristband.
  • the present invention focuses on an application of a laminated material including a first water resistant oil resistant material (e.g., polypropylene), a flexible material (e.g., ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer), and a second water resistant oil resistant material (e.g., polypropylene) to a surface base material that is most susceptible to an external factor out of materials that constitute a wristband, on an application of an interlining material (e.g., oriented nylon) disposed on a lower side of the surface base material and having one of tearing resistance and tensile resistance.
  • a first water resistant oil resistant material e.g., polypropylene
  • a flexible material e.g., ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer
  • a second water resistant oil resistant material e.g., polypropylene
  • a first aspect of the invention provides a wristband capable of indicating identification information on a belt-like band base material, and attachable around a portion-to-be-attached such as the wrist or the ankle, wherein the band base material includes: a surface base material configured by a laminated material having a first water resistant oil resistant material, a flexible material, and a second water resistant oil resistant material that are laminated; an interlining material laminated on a lower side of the surface base material and having one of tearing resistance and tensile resistance; and an embossed material laminated on a lower side of the interlining material and having an embossed portion for making contact with the portion-to-be-attached.
  • the band base material includes: a surface base material configured by a laminated material having a first water resistant oil resistant material, a flexible material, and a second water resistant oil resistant material that are laminated; an interlining material laminated on a lower side of the surface base material and having one of tearing resistance and tensile resistance; and an embossed
  • a second aspect of the invention provides a method of manufacturing a wristband capable of indicating identification information on a belt-like band base material, and attachable around a portion-to-be-attached such as the wrist or the ankle, wherein the band base material is formed by: laminating an interlining material having one of tearing resistance and tensile resistance over a front surface of an embossed material having, on a back surface thereof, an embossed portion allowed to be in contact with the portion-to-be-attached; and laminating a surface base material over a front surface of the interlining material, the surface base material being configured by a laminated material having a first water resistant oil resistant material, a flexible material, and a second water resistant oil resistant material that are laminated.
  • a surface treatment for allowing printing of the identification information may be applied to a front surface of the surface base material, and then a cutoff line may be provided in the band base material, thereby allowing the wristband to be cut out as a single strip.
  • a surface treatment for allowing printing of the identification information may be applied to a front surface of the surface base material.
  • the surface base material may be configured such that a ratio between lamination thicknesses of the first water resistant oil resistant material, the flexible material, and the second water resistant oil resistant material is about 1:8:1.
  • the surface base material may be configured such that polypropylene is used for the first water resistant oil resistant material, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer is used for the flexible material, and polypropylene is used for the second water resistant oil resistant material.

  • the band base material is configured by the laminated material including the first water resistant oil resistant material, the flexible material, and the second water resistant oil resistant material, and the interlining material having tearing resistance or tensile resistance. Therefore, it is possible to provide water resistance and oil resistance due to the first water resistant oil resistant material and the second water resistant oil resistant material, and toughness due to tearing resistance or tensile resistance of the interlining material while ensuring flexibility due to the flexible material of the laminated material. With this, it is possible to provide appropriate properties for attachment to the hospitalized patient's wrist or ankle.
  • the laminated material including the first water resistant oil resistant material, the flexible material, and the second water resistant oil resistant material is laminated over the front surface of the interlining material having tearing resistance or tensile resistance, and the embossed material is laminated over the back surface of the interlining material. Therefore, it is possible to provide a configuration having flexibility, water resistance, oil resistance, toughness, tearing resistance or tensile resistance, and breathability to the skin that are required for the wristband.
