Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002]
The present invention relates to a therapeutic tape that is attached to an affected area in order to treat body pain or stiffness.
[0003]
[Prior art]
Traditionally, physical pain and stiffness are caused by muscle breakdown that causes the body to lose its balance, causing distortions and constricting blood vessels in the muscles to accumulate fatigue substances and lactic acid. Therefore, there has been a method of applying physical stimulation to the skin by sticking a tape to the body, normalizing the blood flow in the muscle, and increasing the muscular strength.
[0004]
As such a tape, especially for the purpose of giving more irritation to the skin and the like so that the skin will not be pulled when applied to joints such as elbows and knees of the body, For example, as shown in FIG. 7, an adhesive is applied to the attachment surface 01 a to the body, and a plurality of slits 02 (slits) facing the longitudinal direction are provided to form a plurality of elongated strips 03. A strip-type therapeutic tape 01 has been proposed.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in such a conventional strip-shaped tape 01, since the adhesive is applied to the sticking surface 01a in advance, the release sheet 04 attached to the sticking surface 1a is peeled off. When affixing to the affected area, the plurality of elongated strips 03 formed on the tape 01 are scattered and entangled with each other, twisted, etc., so that the shape of the tape 01 does not collapse and is not fixed. The problem was that it was difficult to wear.
[0006]
The present invention has been made paying attention to such problems, and the skin can not be pulled by the tape material stuck to the affected area, and more stimulation can be given to the affected area. It aims at providing the therapeutic tape which can perform sticking easily.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the therapeutic tape of the present invention is a therapeutic tape made of a tape material in which an adhesive is applied to an adhesive surface for applying to the body,
In the tape material, a plurality of slit portions having a predetermined length extending in the longitudinal direction are formed in the width direction, and a connecting member is detachable on the opposite surface of the sticking surface so as to straddle the slit portions. It is characterized by being attached to.
According to this feature, the tape material is stretchable in the width direction by the plurality of slit portions, so that the skin is not pulled even if it is attached to the joint portion such as the elbow or knee of the body, and against the skin. Can give more stimulation. In addition, since the connecting member is attached so as to straddle the plurality of slit portions, the width of the tape material itself when sticking to the affected area is restricted, and the tape materials are not easily tangled or twisted. Since the connecting member is removably attached to the opposite surface of the tape material, it can be easily removed after the tape material has been applied to the affected area. The extensibility after sticking is not impaired.
[0008]
The connecting member of the therapeutic tape of the present invention is preferably composed of a sheet member in which an adhesive is applied to the surface facing the tape material.
If it does in this way, since a connection member does not become bulky at the time of storage of a treatment tape, it can store compactly.
[0009]
It is preferable that the sheet member of the therapeutic tape of the present invention is attached to a predetermined portion of the tape material.
In this way, by partially sticking the sheet member, it is possible not only to efficiently regulate the width of the tape material itself when sticking to the affected part, but also to reduce the manufacturing cost.
[0010]
It is preferable that the sheet member of the therapeutic tape of the present invention is adhered over almost the entire area of the tape material.
If it does in this way, the spread to the width direction of tape material itself at the time of sticking to an affected part can be controlled reliably.
[0011]
The tape material of the therapeutic tape of the present invention is preferably formed in a belt shape and wound in a roll shape.
If it does in this way, since the adhesive apply | coated to the sticking surface is protected by a sheet | seat member, since the peeling sheet etc. for protecting an adhesive are unnecessary, manufacturing cost can be reduced.
[0012]
The connecting member of the therapeutic tape of the present invention is preferably composed of a linear member attached so as to straddle the plurality of slit portions.
If it does in this way, a connection member can be attached to a tape member partially efficiently.
[0013]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
[0014]
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a treatment tape 1 to which the present invention is applied. As shown in FIG. 2, the therapeutic tape 1 is used by being attached to an affected part such as a stiff shoulder. Thereby, the stimulation is transmitted to the sensory organs through the skin by the therapeutic tape 1 attached to the affected area, and the blood circulation in the affected area is improved, so that the muscle atrophy is eliminated.
[0015]
As shown in FIG. 1, the therapeutic tape 1 is made of a strip-shaped tape material made of cotton having a longitudinal stretchability, and is provided in the vicinity of both end edges (short end edges). Between the slit regions 5 and 5 (non-cutting regions), a plurality of linear slits 6 facing in the longitudinal direction are formed at predetermined intervals in the width direction. A plurality of 7 (band-shaped tape portions) are formed.
[0016]
Thus, since the treatment tape 1 has a plurality of slits 6 extending in the width direction between the non-slit regions 5 and 5 at both ends of the treatment tape 1, the treatment tape 1 is stretchable in the width direction. Therefore, the skin is not pulled even if it is attached to the joints such as the elbows and knees of the body, and the skin can easily come into contact with the edges of the plurality of slits 6 in the tape. Since stimulation is given, the therapeutic effect is improved.
[0017]
Further, as shown in FIG. 1, a transparent film sheet 2 (connecting member) as a sheet member in which an adhesive is applied to the entire surface facing the surface 1a is provided on the surface 1a of the therapeutic tape 1. It is pasted so as to cover the entire area of 1a and to be peeled off.
[0018]
Moreover, the adhesive for sticking to skin is apply | coated to the back surface 1b used as the sticking surface to the affected part in the treatment tape 1, and this back surface 1b is covered so that the whole back surface 1b may be coat | covered. The release sheet 3 is attached so as to be freely peelable.
[0019]
Next, a method of attaching the thus configured therapeutic tape 1 to the affected area will be described with reference to FIG. 3. First, as shown in FIG. 3 (a), the therapeutic tape 1 is attached to the back surface 1 b of the therapeutic tape 1. The wearing release sheet 3 is peeled off. Next, as shown in FIG. 3B, the sticking surface (lower surface 1b) of the treatment tape 1 from which the release sheet 3 has been peeled is stuck to the skin of the affected area. Finally, as shown in FIG. 3 (c), the film sheet 2 is peeled off from the surface 1 a of the therapeutic tape 1.
[0020]
Thus, in the state where the film sheet 2 is adhered to the entire surface 1a of the therapeutic tape 1, the strips 7 are connected to each other by the film sheet 2 as a connecting member so as not to be separated from each other. The spread in the width direction of the treatment tape 1 itself when the release sheet 3 is peeled to stick 1 to the affected area is restricted, and a plurality of strips 7 formed by the slits 6 vary as in the conventional case. Since it becomes difficult to be tangled or twisted with each other and handling when the release sheet 3 is peeled off becomes easy, it can be easily attached to the affected part.
[0021]
Moreover, since the film sheet 2 which cannot separate each strip | belt piece 7 mutually is provided in the surface 1a of the therapeutic tape 1 so that peeling is possible, since it can remove easily after sticking of the therapeutic tape 1, it is slit 6 Therefore, the stretchability of the treatment tape 1 is not impaired.
[0022]
In addition, the therapeutic tape 1 in a present Example is the width direction of the tape 1 itself at the time of peeling the peeling sheet 3 and sticking to an affected part by the film sheet 2 stuck to the whole surface 1a of the therapeutic tape 1 Although the film sheet 2 as a sheet member is attached so as to straddle the plurality of slits 6, the film sheet 2 as a sheet member is not necessarily spread over the entire surface 1 a of the treatment tape 1. For example, as shown in FIG. 4A, each strip 7 has a predetermined length so that a part of the strip 7 is covered with a film sheet 8 having a predetermined length. It may be stuck so as to cross a predetermined portion in the longitudinal direction, and the cost can be reduced by sticking partially efficiently in this way.
[0023]
In this way, by using a sheet member such as the film sheets 2 and 8 as a connecting member for restricting the spread in the width direction of the tape 1 itself when sticking to the affected part, it is connected when the therapeutic tape 1 is stored. Since the member is not bulky, it can be stored compactly.
[0024]
Further, such a connecting member is not limited to a sheet member such as the film sheets 2 and 8, but, for example, as shown in FIG. 4B, a linear member 9 made of, for example, a thread or a string is used. The strips 7 may be connected to each other by being attached via, for example, an adhesive so as to straddle the plurality of slits 6. In addition, the attachment position, direction, quantity, etc. of such a linear member 9 are not limited to what was described in drawing.
[0025]
Further, such a linear member 9 may be detachably attached to the surface 1a of the treatment tape 1 via an adhesive, or attached so as to be inserted between the fibers of the cotton treatment tape 1. It may be done.
[0026]
FIG. 5 shows an external perspective view of a treatment tape 10 as a modification of the present invention. The therapeutic tape 10 includes a non-slit region 11 (non-cut region) formed over the width direction, and a plurality of linear slits 13 extending in the width direction between the non-slit regions 11 and 11 and facing in the longitudinal direction. Are made of a belt-like sheet material alternately formed in the longitudinal direction, and the belt-like sheet material is wound in a roll shape.
[0027]
In such a band-shaped therapeutic tape 10, for example, by cutting a portion of the non-slit region 11, it can be used in substantially the same manner as the therapeutic tape 1 described above.
[0028]
In addition, a film sheet 15 is detachably attached to the entire surface 10a of the therapeutic tape 10, and an adhesive surface to which an adhesive for application to the skin is applied is formed on the back surface 10b. ing. That is, the back surface 10b, which is a sticking surface coated with an adhesive, is stuck to the surface of the film sheet 15 when the tape material is wound.
[0029]
In this way, the connecting member is constituted by the sheet-like film sheet 15 and is provided over the entire surface 10a, thereby protecting the adhesive applied to the back surface 10b of the therapeutic tape 10, that is, the sticking surface to the affected area. In order to do so, the adhesive on the sticking surface can be protected by the film sheet 15 for regulating the spread in the width direction of the treatment tape 1 itself when sticking to the affected part without using a separate release sheet. Therefore, the manufacturing cost can be reduced.
[0030]
FIG. 6 shows a film sheet as a connecting member on the surface 1a ′ of a strip-shaped therapeutic tape 1 ′ as a modification in which slits of different patterns are arranged.
[0031]
Thus, the arrangement pattern of the slits is not limited to the pattern like the slits 6 arranged on the therapeutic tape 1 shown in FIG. Along the slit line 17L extending in the longitudinal direction indicated by the middle dotted line, the slit portion 17a composed of the slit 17 and the non-slit non-slit portion 17b are alternately provided in the longitudinal direction of the treatment tape 1 ′. A plurality of slit portions 17a and non-slit portions 17b that are provided alternately in the longitudinal direction are formed at predetermined intervals in the width direction (lateral direction in the figure) of the treatment tape 1 ′. Are arranged side by side.
[0032]
Further, the slit portion 17a and the non-slit portion 17b on the adjacent slit lines 17L and 17L are substantially the center in the longitudinal direction of the slit portion 17a on the other slit line 17L. It is provided so that it may be located in.
[0033]
As described above, the slit portions 17a and the non-slit portions 17b formed on the respective slit lines 17L are arranged in a state shifted from each other in the longitudinal direction, so that the non-slit portions 17b are arranged in the width direction in the respective slit lines 17L. The tape 1 for treatment 1 when sticking to the affected area even if a plurality of slits 17 are formed while the width of the treatment tape 1 ′ is not deteriorated in the width direction. 'The spread in the width direction of itself is restricted by the non-slit portion 17b.
[0034]
Therefore, since the regulating action of the width of the treatment tape 1 ′ itself in the width direction when the film sheet 16 and the slit part are arranged is effectively applied due to the arrangement pattern of the film sheet 16 and the slit part, the sticking to the affected part is easier. become. Needless to say, such a slit pattern can also be applied to a band-shaped treatment tape wound in a roll shape as shown in FIG.
[0035]
Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to these embodiments, and modifications and additions within the scope of the present invention are included in the present invention. It is.
[0036]
For example, the lengths and arrangement patterns of the slits 6 and 13 are not limited and can be variously modified.
[0037]
Further, the tape material of the therapeutic tapes 1 and 10 is a cotton cloth having elasticity in the longitudinal direction, but the presence or absence of the elasticity of the tape material itself is not questioned, and the material is particularly limited to the cotton cloth. is not.
[0038]
In addition, such a treatment tape is not only used by being attached to the affected part, but for example, the same treatment tape can be attached to the opposite side of the affected part in the body in a balanced manner, and any part of the body can be used. It can be used by sticking to.
