  EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION The form for implementing the mouth respiratory correction tape which concerns on this invention is demonstrated below based on an Example.

  The mouth respiratory correction tape according to Example 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the mouth breath correction tape 1 promotes nasal breathing by covering the user's mouth to prevent the mouth from opening unintentionally. In particular, it will be described as being used during sleep. The mouth breathing correction tape 1 is mainly composed of a sheet member 2 that covers the lips 6 (see FIG. 3) and an adhesive layer 3 provided on the back surface 2c of the sheet member 2.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the sheet member 2 has a covering portion 2 a as a sheet portion formed along the lip 6 and having a substantially elliptical shape in plan view larger than the lip 6. Both end portions 2d and 2e in the longitudinal direction of the portion 2a are formed so as to gradually narrow. Moreover, the coating | coated part 2a is formed with the synthetic resin which has translucency. In addition, it is preferable that the coating | coated part 2a is comprised with the raw material excellent in air permeability, perspiration, moisture release, etc. in order to suppress perspiration, stuffiness, etc. at the time of use.

  In addition, grip portions 2b and 2b not provided with the adhesive layer 3 extend outward along the longitudinal direction at both ends 2d and 2e in the longitudinal direction of the covering portion 2a. In this embodiment, the sheet member 2 is manufactured by die-cutting a single sheet-like synthetic resin, and the covering portion 2a and the gripping portions 2b and 2b are integrally formed. A gripping portion made of a separate member may be connected by thermal welding or the like. Furthermore, the shape and size of the grip portion can be designed freely. Further, the gripping portion is not limited to being provided at both end portions 2d and 2e of the covering portion 2a, and may be provided at only one of them, or may be provided at a portion other than the end portion of the covering portion 2a.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the adhesive layer 3 is fixed over the outer edge portion of the back surface 2c of the covering portion 2a. In this way, the covering portion 2a has a substantially elliptical shape in plan view larger than the lip 6, and the adhesive layer 3 is fixed over the outer edge portion of the back surface 2c of the covering portion 2a, so that the movement is active. Since the adhesive layer 3 is adhered around the lip 6 while avoiding the lip 6 itself, the lip 6 can be reduced in moisture and the covering 2a and the adhesive layer 3 are peeled off due to unexpected movement of the lip 6. Can be prevented. In addition, the adhesion layer may be provided in the substantially whole surface of the back surface 2c of the coating | coated part 2a. Furthermore, the adhesive layer 3 may have a weaker adhesive force on both ends 2d and 2e than the center so that the adhesive layer 3 can be more easily peeled off, or both ends 2d and 2e have an adhesive layer 3 on the side. You don't have to.

  The protective sheet part 5 which protects the sticking surface 3a is stuck to the sticking surface 3a which is the surface opposite to the surface which adhere | attaches the coating | coated part 2a in this adhesion layer 3 so that peeling is possible. The protective sheet portion 5 is composed of divided sheets 5a and 5b that are divided into two in the longitudinal direction with the substantially central portion of the adhesive layer 3 as a boundary, and the divided sheet 5a has a handle portion that overlaps the outer surface of the divided sheet 5b. 5c is provided.

  According to this, since the sticking surface 3a of the adhesion layer 3 is protected by the protective sheet portion 5, it is possible to prevent the sticking surface 3a from sticking to a place not desired by the user, and the sticking surface. While dust etc. can adhere to 3a and the adhesive force fall of the sticking surface 3a can be prevented, it is prevented that the said dust etc. accumulate on the back surface of the coating | coated part 2a, and it can keep clean. Moreover, at the time of use, the sticking surface 3a can be made into a stickable state only by peeling the division | segmentation paper 5a, 5b from the adhesion layer 3. FIG. Note that the protective sheet portion is not limited to being divided into two, and may be divided into three or more, for example, or may be formed by one piece of divided paper. Furthermore, the protective sheet portion may be formed in a substantially annular shape that is the same as the shape of the adhesive layer 3 in plan view.

  Although not particularly illustrated, the handle 5c is picked to peel off one of the divided sheets 5a, and the one sticking surface 3a which is exposed by peeling off the divided sheet 5a is gripped on the lip 6 and its surroundings while holding the grip 2b. Then, the mouth breathing correction tape 1 is attached by gradually sticking the sticking surface 3a to the remaining lips 6 and its surroundings while peeling off the other divided paper 5b from the center side toward the end. .

  As shown in FIG. 3 (a), when the mouth respiratory correction tape 1 is worn, the entire lip 6 is covered with the covering portion 2a, and as a result, the opening of the mouth is suppressed, so that nasal breathing is promoted. become. When removing the mouth breath correction tape 1, as shown in FIG. 3B, the covering portion extends from the end side of the lip 6 along the longitudinal direction of the lip 6 by gripping one gripping portion 2 b. By peeling 2a and the adhesion layer 3, the sticking surface 3a can be peeled from the lip 6 and its periphery, and mouth breathing can be performed. In addition, when removing the mouth breath correction tape 1, the covering portion 2a and the adhesive layer 3 may be peeled from both sides of the lip 6 by gripping both grip portions 2b.

  Since the user grips the grip portion 2b and separates the covering portion 2a from the lip 6 in this manner, the adhesive layer 3 can be peeled off without being attached to the finger, and the peeling work can be easily performed and used. It can be removed at the user's desired timing. Therefore, for example, when mouth breathing is urgently required, the covering portion 2a can be immediately removed from the lips 6 and the mouth breathing can be quickly performed.

  The grip 2b is provided at both ends 2d and 2e in the longitudinal direction of the cover 2a having a narrow shape, and both ends 2d and 2e in the longitudinal direction of the cover 2a are in the vicinity of both ends of the lip 6 Therefore, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 3 extends along the longitudinal direction of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 3 from a portion having a relatively small adhesion area with the skin by gripping the gripping portion 2b and peeling it along the lengthwise direction of the covering portion 2a. Since it peels, this peeling operation can be performed easily. And when the coating | coated part 2a and the adhesion layer 3 are peel | exfoliated from the edge part of the lip 6, ie, the edge part of the lip 6, mouth breathing can be performed immediately.

  Moreover, the coating | coated part 2a consists of a raw material which has translucency, and can confirm the state of the lip 6 from the outer side through the coating | coated part 2a. For example, while a user is sleeping in a hospital, etc., the other person such as a nurse visually confirms the color of the user's lip 6 to check whether the user is in a state of lack of oxygen, etc. Therefore, the safety in use of the mouth breath correction tape 1 can be maintained. In addition, when the adhesion layer 3 adheres to the whole surface of the back surface 2c of the coating | coated part 2a, it is preferable that the adhesion layer 3 also has translucency similarly.

  There are the following modifications of the covering portion. As shown in FIG. 4, the sheet member 21 has an opening 21b formed at a substantially central portion of the covering portion 21a. The opening 21b is provided with a ventilation portion 21d formed of a material such as gauze. Yes. Moreover, the adhesion layer 31 is provided in the back surface 21c of the coating | coated part 21a. According to this, since it is possible to breathe a certain amount of mouth through the ventilation portion 21d while suppressing opening of the mouth unintentionally, safety during use is prevented while preventing mouth opening and promoting nasal breathing. Can keep.

  Further, the adhesive layer is not limited to being provided on the entire back surface of the covering portion. For example, although not illustrated, a plurality of divided covering portions are extended in the short direction of the sheet member with respect to the back surface of one sheet member. Thus, it may be provided at a predetermined distance in the longitudinal direction of the covering portion. According to this, since a plurality of portions where the skin and the adhesive layer do not adhere are formed in the longitudinal direction of the sheet member, the sheet member can be easily peeled along the longitudinal direction of the sheet member, and at the time of mounting, Can reduce skin irritation. Further, the user can take air from the portion of the outer edge of the sheet member where the skin and the adhesive layer do not adhere to perform breathing.

  Next, an oral respiratory correction tape according to Example 2 will be described with reference to FIGS. In addition, the description which overlaps with the same structure as the said Example is abbreviate | omitted.

  As shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, the sheet member 22 of the mouth breath correction tape 10 is formed in a size that allows the covering portion 22 a to cover the end of the lip 6 in the vertical direction. A grip portion 22b is provided at one end 22e of 22a. Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the adhesive layers 32 and 32 are disposed on the back surface 22c of the covering portion 22a so as to be positioned at both end portions 22d and 22e of the covering portion 22a.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the protective sheet portion 51 is formed of release paper or the like larger than the sheet members 22, 22,... And the adhesive layers 32, 32,. Are attached by adhesive layers 32, 32,....

  According to this, since a large number of mouth breath correction tapes 10, 10,... Can be attached to one protective sheet portion 51, the production cost of the mouth breath correction tape 10 can be suppressed. Furthermore, since the mouth respiratory correction tape 10 covers the end of the lip 6, it can be attached to the lip 6 of various sizes and shapes of the user, and the versatility is enhanced. ing.

  As shown in FIG. 7 (a), mouth breathing correction tapes 10 and 10 are attached to both ends of the lip 6, and the adhesive layers 32 and 32 are allowed to move the lip 6 slightly. A slight gap is formed between the upper end and the lower end of the lip 6 so as to be stuck around the lip 6. As a result, it is possible to prevent the jaw from being opened, for example, to prevent the mouth from opening greatly during sleep and the tongue from falling into the airway, and to prevent the occurrence of snoring and apnea syndrome. Further, when the mouth breath correction tapes 10 and 10 are attached, the lip 6 is positioned between the adhesive layers 32 and 32, so that the adhesive layers 32 and 32 are directly attached to the lip 6. It is not attached.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 7B, even when mouth breathing correction tapes 10 and 10 are attached to both ends of the lip 6, if mouth breathing is suddenly required, By constricting the lip 6 as much as the movement is allowed, breathing can be performed from the center of the lip 6 and the safety of the user can be ensured.

  In order to use the mouth breath correction tape 10 safely, the mouth breath correction tape 10 is initially attached to both ends of the lip 6 and the mouth breath correction tapes 10 and 10 according to the degree of dependence on the mouth breath of the user. It is preferable to gradually reduce the interval between the nasal breathing and the nasal breathing with less physical and mental burden on the user.

  Next, an oral respiratory correction tape according to Example 3 will be described with reference to FIGS.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the mouth breathing correction tape 100 has a cut portion 24 as a fracture portion in the longitudinal direction of the cover portion 23 a of the sheet member 23, and the cover portion 23 a so as to surround the cut portion 24. An adhesive layer 33 is formed along the outer edge. When an external force is applied to the cut portion 24, the cut portion 24 is broken.

  When the mouth breathing correction tape 100 shown in FIG. 9A is worn, for example, when the user feels stuffy, the user opens his mouth as shown in FIG. A pulling force is applied to the portion 24 in the direction of breaking, and the cut portion 24 is broken to form the vent 25. Thereby, it is possible to perform mouth breathing immediately through the vent hole 25.

  Thus, since the user can apply external force at an appropriate timing to break the cut portion 24 and perform mouth breathing through the vent 25, the safety of the user can be ensured in an emergency. it can.

  Note that the break portion is not limited to the notch portion 24 as described above, and may be formed of, for example, a material in which the material of the sheet member 23 is easily broken. Further, the cut portion 24 may be easily broken by a user or another person pressing with a finger or the like.
