Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a taping tape that is used by sticking to the body to improve motor function in sports, protect muscles and joints, and the like.

Conventionally, as this type of taping tape, a belt-shaped tape of woven fabric with poor elasticity is used, but when this tape is wrapped around a part of the body, it easily becomes loose and does not reach the predetermined volume. It was not possible to secure the adhesion force and tightening force. If the tape is tightly wrapped around the body in order to prevent such loosening of the tape, the movement of joints and muscles may be hindered and blood circulation may be impaired.

On the other hand, as disclosed in Patent Document 1, a taping tape having elasticity is also known. This taping tape has a belt-like shape, and an adhesive is applied to the back surface thereof.

However, since the taping tape of Patent Document 1 has a shape in which notches are formed in the side edges of the rectangular body, it has poor stretchability and is difficult to conform to the body. For this reason, when this taping tape is applied in a curved shape according to the shape of the body, there is a difference in the tension state at both side edges of the tape in the width direction, which makes it easier to peel off from the body and causes discomfort to the user. I had a problem remembering. That is, in a tape adhered in a curved shape, a strong tension acts on the outer portion of the curved portion, whereas the inner portion of the curved portion is loosened and, in some cases, wrinkled. Due to the presence of this tensioned portion and relaxed portion, the tape is easily peeled off from the body. In addition, since tension and slackness are generated at the same time in the vicinity of the skin, not only does it cause a sense of discomfort that is close to discomfort, but it also causes stress on the skin and muscles, which has the opposite effect and adversely affects blood circulation. There was also the possibility that the In addition, wrinkles have also degraded the appearance of the used tape. In addition, the taping tape of Patent Document 1 has poor stretchability and does not conform to the body as described above, so it tends to constrain the skin and the underlying fascia, and the action of improving the user's motor function is not sufficient. do not have.

Therefore, the patent applicant of the present application has previously focused on the problems that exist in such conventional technology in Japanese Patent No. 6199016 (Patent Document 2), and when it is curved and attached to the body However, I proposed a taping tape that fits the body and is comfortable to use.

The taping tape proposed in this patent is characterized in that it is composed of a belt body in which circular protrusions and recesses are alternately and continuously formed on both side edges. Therefore, in this taping tape, when it is applied in a curved manner to a part of the body such as the knees and waist, the concave portions are widened in the outer portion of the curved portion, and the convex portions between the concave portions are also circular. , so it is easy to stretch and deform, and each recess is narrowed in the inner portion.
For this reason, it is possible to suppress the skin from being stretched on the outer side of the curved portion and the skin from loosening on the inner side, and the tape can be properly applied to the body without restricting the skin. It can be attached and made difficult to peel off. In addition, since there is no tension or slackness acting on two adjacent parts of the skin, the user does not experience unnatural discomfort or discomfort, stress on muscles and joints, and adverse effects on blood circulation. or deterioration of the appearance of the tape in use. Therefore, it is possible to flexibly respond to the movement of the skin and the underlying fascia, which is effective in improving motor function.

Further, in this taping tape, substantially circular protrusions and recesses are alternately and continuously formed on both side edges of the strip, and the both side edges of the strip are formed into a continuous and substantially wavy shape with no corners. It's becoming Therefore, the conformability of the tape to the skin of the body is improved, and peeling from the side edges of the tape can be suppressed.

It is a top view which shows the taping tape by embodiment of this invention. FIG. 2 is a front view of the taping tape of FIG. 1; FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing how the taping tape of FIG. 1 is used;

A taping tape 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
The taping tape 10 of the embodiment of the present invention has a central circular portion 12 formed by alternately and continuously forming arc-shaped convex portions and concave portions that are part of a perfect circle on the upper and lower edges, and arranged on both sides thereof. The concave portion circumscribes the convex portion on a tangential line, and the perfect circle forming the convex portion is formed by a perfect circle forming the adjacent convex portion. It is formed as a circumscribing strip. The convex portion of the central circular portion 12 is indicated by reference numeral 12a, the convex portions of the side circular portions 14 and 16 are indicated by reference numerals 14a and 16a, respectively, and the concave portions associated with them are indicated by reference numerals 20a, 20b, 20c and 20d, respectively. rice field.

The diameter of the side circular portions 14, 16 or convex portions 14a, 16a is set to be less than 50-100% of the diameter of the central circular portion 12 or convex portion 12a, i.e. smaller than the diameter of the central circular portion. Further, it is preferable that the radius of curvature of the convex portions 12a, 14a, 16a is set larger than the radius of curvature of the concave portions 20a, 20b, 20c, 20d. Incidentally, it is preferable that the diameters of the projections 14a and 16a are the same, and that the diameters of the recesses 20a, 20b, 20c and 20d are also the same.
As for the dimensions of each part, for example, the total length in the longitudinal direction is 80 to 100 mm (this length is effective mainly from the distribution of arm circumferences near the wrists of teenage and adult boys and girls). The radius of the projection 12a is 30 to 40 mm, the radius of the projections 14a and 16a is 23 to 33 mm, the recesses 20a and 20b, Preferably, the radii of 20c and 20d are 6-12 mm.

The band is formed of a plain weave fabric using extensible yarns or a mixture of extensible yarns and non-extensible yarns as one of the warp and weft yarns, and using non-extensible yarns as the weft yarns. It is The strip is formed by using the woven fabric with the direction in which the stretchable yarn extends as the width direction v, so that the strip, that is, the taping tape 10 is non-stretchable in the longitudinal direction h, It is stretchable in the width direction.
The extensible yarn is typically made of synthetic resin fiber such as polyurethane fiber, and the non-extensible yarn is made of natural fiber such as cotton or non-extensible synthetic resin fiber. yarn made from

An adhesive layer 30 is formed on one surface of the strip of the taping tape 10, and a release paper 32 that also acts as a protective paper is arranged on the surface of the adhesive layer 30. As shown in FIG.
The adhesive used for the adhesive layer 30 is preferably a medical adhesive that does not irritate the skin of the body. The adhesive may also contain a component that recovers muscle fatigue or a component that prevents muscle tension. In addition, this adhesive or strip may contain a fragrance or the like that gives a refreshing feeling.

Next, the action of the taping tape configured like the belt-like body described above will be described.

When using this taping tape 10, the release paper 32 is peeled off from the surface of the adhesive layer 30, and in this state, the adhesive layer is used to adhere the belt-like body to a part of the body such as the wrist or waist. FIG. 3 shows the case of attaching to the wrist.
In this case, the taping tape 10 is adhered so that its longitudinal direction is in the direction around the wrist.

For example, as shown in FIG. 3, when an athlete exercises by sticking the palm of the hand against a surface such as a table, the muscles of the arm mainly expand and contract in the length direction of the arm, while the muscles of the arm expand and contract. It tends to expand exclusively in the width direction. The expansion of this muscle in the width direction of the arm serves as a basis for force distribution, and the athlete's performance cannot be sufficiently elicited.
When the taping tape 10 of the embodiment of the present invention is applied around the arm near the wrist of the athlete as shown in FIG. It is suppressed by the non-stretchability of the direction, and it is possible to expand and contract the muscles in the length direction of the arm, so it is possible to efficiently prevent the dispersion of force and contribute to the improvement of performance.

In this taping tape, the reason why the width of the central portion is larger than that of the side portions is to cope with the fact that muscle movement tends to be greater in the central portion than in the side portions.

In addition, since this taping tape is composed of a belt-like body in which substantially circular protrusions and recesses are alternately and continuously formed on both side edges, this taping tape can be applied to an uneven part such as a finger or a bent part. It can be easily bent and attached to the site. In this case, each recessed portion 2 6 is widened at the outer portion of the curved portion, the convex portion is deformed in the extension direction or the like without difficulty, and each recessed portion is narrowed at the inner portion. For this reason, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of tension in the outer part of the curved part and the occurrence of wrinkles in the inner part, and the taping tape can be properly applied without peeling off from the adhered part of the body. can be affixed to For this reason, when the taping tape is attached to the attachment site, the feeling of discomfort is reduced, the muscles are more likely to move, and blood circulation is promoted. Therefore, it is possible to favorably assist the exercise of the user, obtain an effect of improving the effective exercise function, and prevent failure.

In addition, this taping tape has good compatibility with the skin, can effectively suppress peeling from the side edges, and can prevent the occurrence of wrinkles, thereby improving the appearance of the used state. .

Furthermore, in this taping tape, since the radius of curvature of any of the convex portions is set to be larger than the radius of curvature of the concave portion, the portion corresponding to the convex portion having a large radius of curvature is applied to the skin of the body. It can be stably attached to a wide bonding area.
