Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Purpose of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to an improvement of a taping tool used for prevention of injury, first aid treatment of sprains, strains, etc.

(Prior art) Traditionally, the prevention of injuries and disabilities to the human body, first aid after minor injuries such as sprains and strains,
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Taping is performed on various parts of the body as an aid to rehabilitation after trauma and as a prevention for recurrence of trauma, and in recent years has become rapidly popular as a treatment for injuries sustained in various sports.

Here, taping has conventionally been performed by wrapping a tape with "glue" around a part of the body.

(Problem that the invention aims to solve) Traditionally, the materials used for taping have been adhesive tapes, which allows for strong taping, but once they have loosened due to exercise etc., they can be easily wrapped. I couldn't fix it. Furthermore, even when a trainer or the like is to be wrapped, it is difficult to re-wrap the tape, so it is necessary to tape the tape more carefully than necessary.

Furthermore, conventional taping has the disadvantage that once used tape cannot be reused.

Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to solve the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks, to create a new tape that can be easily wrapped and re-wrapped while ensuring strong taping, and that can be reused many times. Our purpose is to provide taping tools.

[Structure of the device] (Means for solving the problem) The present invention has a first tape that is brought into contact with the periphery of the part to be taped, and which can be surface-bonded to a part or all of the outer surface of the tape and can be freely separated. A backing material formed with a fastener, and a second fastener that can be surface-bonded with the first fastener and separated from the first fastener are formed on part or all of the band-shaped front and back surfaces, and the second fastener is wound around the backing material. The taping material constitutes a taping tool.

(Function) A backing material that comes into contact with the area to be taped,
The taping material wound around the backing material is joined by the first and second fasteners, which can be surface-bonded and separated from each other, so that strong taping can be ensured, and the separation can be easily achieved. Since it is easy, wrapping and rewinding of the taping material can be performed more easily than before. Moreover, this taping tool is economical because it can be used repeatedly.

(Example) Hereinafter, the present invention will be specifically explained based on the illustrated example.

1A and 1B show a taping tool used for taping an ankle of a human body. FIG. 1A is a schematic perspective view of a padding material 1 for the ankle. This padding material 1 has, for example, a laminated structure, and the outside is made of a first fastener material 1A, and the inside is made of a material with a high friction coefficient, such as neoprene. It is made of material 1B. The patch member 1 is formed into a cylindrical shape bent into a substantially L-shape as a whole, and has a notch 2 formed at a position corresponding to the heel of a human leg. The padding material 1 is cut at a position 4 extending from the notch 2 to the upper open end 3 of the padding material 1, and this cut portion is connected to a small piece of fastener material (surface-bonded with the first fastener material 1A). It is possible to separate them). When these small pieces 5, 5 are separated from the backing material 1,
Since the cut portion is open, the pad 1 can be easily inserted into the ankle.

FIG. 1B is a schematic perspective view showing the taping material 6, which is formed into a band shape as a whole, and a second fastener material 6A is formed on the entire back side and a part of the front side, for example. Note that this taping material 6 has elasticity in its longitudinal direction as a material. Note that the degree of elasticity differs depending on the purpose of use of the taping.

Next, the first and second fastener materials 1A, 6
A will be explained with reference to FIG. In the figure, the first fastener 1A has a large number of loops 1A' on its surface, while the second fastener 6A has a large number of hooks 6A' on its surface, and the first Second fastener material 1
When A and 6A are pressed together, the loop 1
A hook 6A' is engaged with A' to obtain a predetermined surface bonding force, and the separation thereof is also facilitated.

Such fastener materials are conventionally known, and include, for example, adhesive fasteners manufactured by YKK (trade name: Quitsukron). In this embodiment, raised jersey is used as the first fastener 1A, and Quituclon is used as the second fastener material 6A.

Next, let's talk about the action of the taping tool mentioned above.
The explanation will be made with reference to FIGS. A to E.

When performing taping using this taping tool, first, the patch material 1 is inserted into the ankle portion of the human body. After that, one end of the taping material 6 is placed on top of the backing material 1, and the first and second fasteners 1A,
The taping material 6 is wound around the ankle while being surface-joined by 6A.

Examples of winding of this taping material 6 are shown in FIGS. 3A to 3E. Figures 3A to 3E show taping called a heel lock. In Figure C, it goes over the top of the foot again, crosses the taping 6, and comes out to the medial malleolus, and in Figure D, it goes around the attachment point of the Achilles tendon to the calcaneus, the heel, and the sole of the foot, and goes inward. Then, as shown in Fig. E, taping is performed again by crossing the taping material 6 at the front and extending it to the lateral malleolus.

When winding such taping material 6,
Since the portion that overlaps with the backing material 1 and the taping material 6 can be surface-bonded with a predetermined strength by the first and second fasteners 1A and 6A, strong taping can be performed reliably, and Since it is easy to separate, rewinding can be done relatively easily.
In addition, since the padding material 1 and the taping material 6 do not use adhesive, they can be selected as wet or dry, and can be reused many times, making them very economical.

Note that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the gist of the present invention. Although the above-mentioned embodiment has been described using taping to the ankle as an example, it goes without saying that the present invention can be applied to other taping parts, and in this case, the shape of the patch 1 may be formed to match the taping part. Moreover, the patching material 1 is not necessarily limited to a cylindrical shape, and can have various shapes that can be applied to the taping site. In addition, the backing material 1
If the laminated structure is used as in the above embodiment and the contact surface side of the part is made of a material with a high coefficient of friction, it is advantageous in that the taping can be maintained without slipping even during movement, but it is not necessarily limited to this.
It would be even more useful if the inner surface was made of a sweat-absorbing material.

The taping material 6 is not limited to a linear tape shape, but may be formed to have an angle θ at a predetermined position in the longitudinal direction, for example, as shown in FIG. 4, to facilitate the winding operation of the taping material 6.

[Effects of the invention] As detailed above, the present invention provides an economical taping tool that is easy to wrap and rewind while ensuring strong taping, and that can be reused many times. can be provided.
