Description

    The present invention relates to a wristband continuum and a wristband. In particular, in a medical field, an amusement hall, or other facilities, a patient or a visitor is specified by being attached so as to be wound around the wrist or ankle of the patient or an attendee. The present invention relates to a wristband continuum and a wristband that can be used.

    Traditionally, the name, date of birth, gender and other necessary information (specific information) must be written or printed on a medical wristband and wrapped around the wrist or ankle (wrapped part). Makes it possible to identify the person and to verify the person at the time of examination and treatment. Similar wristbands are also used to confirm visitors at amusement halls and other facilities.

A conventional wristband 1 will be outlined with reference to FIG.
FIG. 8 is a schematic plan view of the wristband 1, and the wristband 1 is printed on the print area 3 on the surface side of the band-shaped band base material 2 by the name or other character symbols or barcodes relating to patients or visitors. The specific information 4 can be displayed.

    As the material of the band base material 2 itself, any material suitable for the respective characteristics of the back surface side that contacts the human body and the front surface side that displays specific information is selected, but the back surface side is flexible and excellent in air permeability, What can be printed or printed is desirable, and a structure in which necessary base materials are laminated according to each function can be adopted.

    Arbitrary numbers of set holes 5 and adjustment holes 6 are formed on both the left and right ends of the band base material 2, and the set holes 5 are aligned with each other with the wristband 1 bent into a ring shape. Further, by attaching and fixing the fixing clip 7 to the adjustment hole 6, the wristband 1 can be wound around the wound portion W such as a wrist or ankle of a patient or an attendee.

    However, since the wristband 1 as described above needs to be operated with one hand so as to fasten the fixing clip 7 in a state where the wristband 1 is wound around the wound portion W, there is a problem that the operation is troublesome. is there.

    There is also a wristband (not shown) configured to provide an adhesive layer on the back side of the wristband 1 in place of the fixing clip 7 and to bond the left and right ends, but a general pressure-sensitive adhesive In the case of the agent layer, since expensive release paper (mounting paper) is required and the release paper is peeled off, it should be avoided if possible from the viewpoint of resource saving and environmental load. There is a request.

On the other hand, the self-adhesive adhesives are firmly bonded to each other when their surfaces are contact-pressed, but if they are forcibly removed, the self-adhesive adhesive layer itself is peeled off from the back side of the band base material 2. On the other hand, even if the self-adhesive adhesive is pressed against another member, it is difficult to adhere.
Therefore, while a wristband having a general pressure-sensitive adhesive layer requires a release paper for its backing, a wristband using a self-adhesive adhesive layer does not require the release paper itself, There is an advantage that it is resource saving and the load on the environment is smaller.
In many cases, the wristband 1 prints specific information such as a name and a barcode in the print area 3 using a printer (not shown). In order to perform printing, a wristband continuous body in which a plurality of wristbands 1 are connected in a belt shape is wound into a roll and loaded into a printer. The band substrate 2 is made of paper or a synthetic resin film having a smooth surface and capable of thermal transfer printing.
However, the self-adhesive adhesive is not adhesive to other members, but has some stickiness, and if a wristband continuum using the self-adhesive adhesive is wound into a roll, it will be blocked. This is because the surface of the band base material 2 is smooth. If a substrate having a rough surface such as fine paper is used, blocking can be avoided. However, since the surface is rough, printing cannot be performed cleanly.
Although it is conceivable to use a thermal paper having a thermal color former layer provided on the surface, there is a problem that the surface of the thermal paper is also highly smooth and has a problem of blocking.
