Para ello y de forma más concreta la pulsera que se preconiza centra sus características en el hecho de que en su zonas de cierre mediante adhesivo incorpora troquelados determinantes de zonas frangibles, que se rompen ineludiblemente durante la maniobra de aperturas de la pulsera y que hacen prácticamente imposible que dicha pulsera pueda cerrarse de nuevo sin que resulte totalmente evidente dicha manipulación de apertura.To do this and more specifically the bracelet that it is recommended to focus its characteristics on the fact that in its closure areas with adhesive incorporates die cut determinants of frangible areas, which are inescapably broken during the opening maneuver of the bracelet and they do virtually impossible that said bracelet can be closed again without such manipulation of opening.

Preferentemente dichos troquelados se materializan en dos cortes trasversales de trayectoria acusadamente quebrada, que determinan líneas de rasgado iniciales, apenas perceptibles en situación inicial de cierre, pero que se convierten en ventanas de notable amplitud cuando se produce la repetidamente citada apertura de la pulsera.Preferably said die cuts are materialize in two transverse trajectory cuts sharply broken, which determine initial tear lines, just noticeable in initial closing situation, but that become in windows of remarkable amplitude when it occurs repeatedly cited opening of the bracelet.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

A la vista de las figuras reseñadas puede observarse como la pulsera que se preconiza, al igual que cualquier pulsera convencional de éste tipo, se materializa en una tira (1), de plástico o papel plastificado, dotada en correspondencia con uno de sus extremos de una capa de adhesivo (2) para cierre de dicha tira sobre sí misma, abrazando la muñeca del paciente, adhesivo que inicialmente está protegido por una pequeña lámina (3) de papel parafinado, siliconado, o similar que mantiene el adhesivo inoperante hasta el momento de utilización de la pulsera.In view of the figures outlined you can be seen as the bracelet that is recommended, like any conventional bracelet of this type, is materialized in a strip (1), of plastic or plasticized paper, provided in correspondence with one of its ends of an adhesive layer (2) for closing said pulls on itself, hugging the patient's wrist, adhesive that initially it is protected by a small sheet (3) of paper paraffin, silicone, or similar that keeps the adhesive inoperative until the time of use of the bracelet.

Pues bien, de acuerdo ya con la invención la citada tira (1), que puede formar parte de una tira continua de la que se extraigan una pluralidad de pulseras, incorpora en la zona correspondiente al adhesivo (2), troquelados determinantes de cortes (4) trasversales, de trayectoria acusadamente quebrada, de manera que cuando se efectúa la maniobra de apertura de la pulsera, fraccionando manualmente sobre el extremo (5) de la misma próximo al adhesivo (2), las líneas troqueladas (4) actúan como inicios de rasgado que hacen que se produzca ineludiblemente dicho rasgado sobre la pulsera, de forma caprichosa, definiéndose al menos una ventana (6), tal como muestra la figura 3, de dimensiones sobradamente suficientes como para que, como anteriormente se ha dicho, quede evidenciada esta manipulación de apertura cuando se realiza un nuevo cierre de la pulsera.Well, according to the invention, the said strip (1), which may be part of a continuous strip of the that a plurality of bracelets are removed, incorporated into the area corresponding to the adhesive (2), die cutters determining cross sections (4), of markedly broken trajectory, of so that when the bracelet opening maneuver is performed, fractioning manually on the end (5) of the same next to the adhesive (2), the punched lines (4) act as the beginning of torn that inevitably cause said torn on the bracelet, capriciously, defining at least one window (6), as shown in figure 3, of dimensions amply enough to, as previously said, this opening manipulation is evidenced when performs a new closure of the bracelet.
