JPH10192412A - Naris dilation type - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To dilate a naris narrowed due to a swelling by improving flowing of blood through a nose without obstructing cutaneous respiration of a stuck portion by having a naris dilating member having elastic restoring force and an adhesive partially disposed in a designated place of the back thereof. SOLUTION: An adhesive is applied to side end parts of both surfaces of a skin contact member 4 with a designated width, whereby a naris dilation tape 1 keeps cutaneous respiration of the bridge part from being obstructed by an adhesive because the skin contact part 4 is brought into contact with the bridge part of the nose. Thus, even if the naris tape 1 is stuck to the surface of the nose, a rash of the skin can be reduced, so it can be used favorably for a long time. As the adhesive is not applied to the central part of the skin contact member 4, the force for dilating the vicinity of the bridge is hard to be obtained. However, as there is no naris inside the vicinity of the bridge, even if large tension is applied, it hardly contributes to dilation of the naris.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a nostril expanding tape, and more particularly to a nostril expanding tape which is used for expanding a nostril by adhering to the surface of a nose and facilitating nasal respiration.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As is well known, when the nostrils become narrow, it becomes difficult to breathe through the nose. In order to solve such a problem, a nostril expanding tape in which a nostril expanding member having an elastic restoring force is attached to the surface of the nose and the nostrils are expanded by the elastic restoring force has been put to practical use.

[0003]

In the nostril expanding tape, an adhesive is applied to the entire back surface of the elastic member, and the elastic member is attached to the surface of the nose. For this reason, the conventional nostril expanding tape has a problem that the skin to which the nostril expanding tape is stuck cannot completely breathe the skin.

By the way, when the nostrils are narrowed and it is difficult to breathe through the nose, the blood flow in the blood vessels through the nose is often deteriorated. In view of this, a nostril expanding tape in which a nostril is expanded by a nostril expanding member having an elastic restoring force has been put to practical use. However, a conventional nostril expanding tape only physically expands a nostril. Therefore, when worn on the surface of the nose, nasal breathing becomes easier, but it did not fundamentally improve the condition of narrowing of the nares due to swelling. It became difficult.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above problems, it is a first object of the present invention to provide a nasal dilatation tape which does not hinder skin respiration at a stuck portion. It is a second object of the present invention to improve the flow of blood through the nose so that the nostrils narrowed by swelling can be expanded.

[0006]

[0014]

Since the present invention has the above technical means, the area where the adhesive is interposed between the back surface of the nostril expanding tape and the surface of the nose is as small as possible than the area of the back surface of the nasal expanding tape. In addition, it is possible to minimize the places on the surface of the nose where the adhesive prevents the skin from breathing.

According to another feature of the present invention, a mark provided at the center of the back surface of the nostril expansion tape is brought into contact with the center of the nose so that the nostril expansion tape is positioned at a predetermined position on the surface of the nose. Can be securely attached.

According to another feature of the present invention, blood flow in the nose is promoted by the magnetic field lines, and swelling caused by stagnant blood flow is improved, so that the nostrils narrowed by swelling are expanded. Will be able to do it.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of a nasal dilatation tape according to the present invention. 1 to 3
1 shows a first embodiment, FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a state in which a nostril expanding tape 1 is attached to the surface of a nose 2 and used, FIG. 2 is a rear view of the nostril expanding tape 1, and FIG. FIG.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the nasal dilatation tape 1 of the present embodiment comprises a nostril dilating member 3 having elastic restoring force, and a skin contact member affixed to the back surface of the nasal dilating member 3. 4, an adhesive 5, a surface covering member 6, and a mark 7.

The nostril expanding member 3 is made of, for example, plastic, and has a plurality of holes (not shown) for transmitting perspiration from the skin. The nostril expanding member 3 may be provided with one member having a predetermined width, or may be provided with a plurality of members having a narrow width.

The skin contact member 4 is made of gauze made of, for example, cotton. Since the nostril expanding member 3 is made of a relatively hard material, the nostril expanding member 3 is made of a relatively hard material. It has a buffering action to prevent the skin 3 from directly hitting the skin surface, and a moisture absorbing action to absorb sweat from the skin surface and evaporate through the nostril expanding member 3.

The adhesive 5 is applied to both side ends of the skin contact member 4 with a predetermined width, and is not applied to the central portion of the skin contact member 4. . Therefore, in the case of the nostril expanding tape 1 of the present embodiment, the nose bridge of the nose 2 is in contact with the skin contact member 4, so that the adhesive 5 does not hinder skin breathing at the nose bridge. Thereby, even if the nostril expanding tape 1 is adhered to the surface of the nose 2, the skin surface is less likely to be rash, and can be used favorably for a long time.

As described above, since the adhesive 5 is not applied to the central portion of the skin contact member 4, in the case of the nostril expanding tape 1 of the present embodiment, it is difficult to obtain a force for expanding the vicinity of the bridge of the nose. . However, since there is no nostril near the bridge of the nose, even if a large tension is applied, it is unlikely that it contributes to dilate the nostril. Therefore, in the case of the nasal cavity expansion tape 1 of the present embodiment, the nares can be satisfactorily expanded and nasal breathing can be performed easily while minimizing the inconvenience caused by the adhesive 5.

The surface covering member 6 is for covering the upper side of the nostril expanding member 3 and thus may not be necessarily provided. In the present embodiment, the nostril expanding member 3 is sandwiched between the skin contact member 4 and the skin contact member 4.

The mark 7 is marked to indicate the center of the nostril expansion tape 1 and is intended to facilitate positioning and attaching the nostril expansion tape 1 to the center of the nose 2. It is.

Since the nostril expanding tape 1 of the present embodiment is configured as described above, it is easy to attach the center of the tape to the center of the nose 2. In addition, nostril expansion tape 1
Since the adhesive 5 is not provided on the central portion of the back surface of the nose, the skin contact member 4 made of cotton cloth directly contacts the nose bridge of the nose 2 and the vicinity thereof. Easy to use.

Next, a second embodiment of the nostril expanding tape of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG.
Is a rear view showing the configuration of the nostril expanding tape 21 of the second embodiment, and FIG. 5 is a sectional view.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, in the nasal cavity expanding tape 21 of the present embodiment, the adhesive 5 is provided not only on both sides of the tape but also on the central portion of the skin contact member 4.
By providing the adhesive 5 in this manner, the center of the nostril expanding tape 21 can be stably stuck to the center of the nose 2, and the adhesive 5 is provided on the entire back surface of the skin contact member 4. As compared with the case, the area where the adhesive 5 contacts the skin surface can be reduced as much as possible.

Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 6 is a rear view showing the configuration of the nostril expanding tape 31 according to the third embodiment, and FIG. 7 is a sectional view.

As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the nostril expanding tape 31 of the present embodiment is provided with the adhesive 5 scattered over the entire surface of the skin contact member 4. FIG. 6 shows an example in which the adhesive 5 is scattered in a small circular shape, but the shape in which the adhesive 5 is scattered is, for example, a square, a triangle, a trapezoid, or any other shape. Can be

By providing the adhesive 5 interspersed in this way, the nostril expanding tape 31 can be stably stuck on the entire surface of the nose 2 and the adhesive 5 can be applied to the skin surface. The contact area can be made as small as possible as compared with the case where the adhesive 5 is provided on the entire back surface of the skin contact member 4. In addition, as an example in which the adhesive 5 is partially provided on the skin contact member 4, in addition to this example, for example, the adhesive 5 is evenly disposed on the edge of the skin contact member 4, and other parts are provided. May be arranged in a dotted manner.

Next, a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 8 is a diagram showing the features of the nasal cavity expansion tape 41 of the fourth embodiment, and FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating the distribution state of the lines of magnetic force when the nasal cavity expansion tape 41 of the present embodiment is used. .

As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the nostril expanding tape 41 according to the present embodiment is constructed by magnetizing a nostril expanding member 42 having an elastic restoring force by using a magnetic material and magnetizing it. The magnetic field lines 43 are emitted from the nostril expanding member 42. In the figure, “N” is the N of the magnet.
The poles are shown, and "S" indicates the S pole of the magnet.

As described above, when the magnetic field lines 43 are radiated from the nostril expanding member 42, the blood flow in that portion can be promoted by the action of the magnetic lines 43 when the magnetic field lines 43 are attached to the nose 2. Thus, when swelling of the nostrils is caused by poor blood circulation, the swelling can be improved, so that breathing can be favorably facilitated even after the nasal dilatation tape 41 is peeled off.

That is, the nostril expanding tape 4 of the present embodiment
In the case of 1, the nostrils can be forcibly dilated by sticking to the surface of the nose 2 and swelling of the nares due to poor blood circulation can be improved. In the present embodiment, since the material having both the elastic restoring action and the magnetic field radiating action is used as the nostril expanding member 3, as compared with a case where a member for performing the magnetic field radiating action is separately provided,
The advantage that the number of parts can be reduced can be obtained.

In the example shown in FIG. 9, the N-pole and the S-pole are arranged so as to face each other in the use state, and the magnetic field lines coming out of the N-pole enter the S-pole. In the state, the N pole and the N pole may be arranged to face each other. In this case, there is obtained an advantage that the magnetic field lines emitted from the N pole can be diffused to a wide range of the nose.

Next, a fifth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 10 is a rear view showing the features of the nostril expanding tape 51 of the fifth embodiment, and FIG. 11 is a cross-sectional view.

As shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, the nostril expanding tape 51 of the present embodiment has a sponge layer 52 disposed on both sides of the skin contact member 4 and an adhesive 5 on the surface of the sponge layer 52. Is applied. Then, a magnet accommodating recess 53 is formed in the sponge layer 52, and the magnet 54 is accommodated in the magnet accommodating recess 53.
The magnetic field lines are radiated from.

With this configuration, only the elastic restoring force needs to be considered when selecting a material for forming the nostril expanding member 3.
As a result, it is possible to use an inexpensive member and radiate the lines of magnetic force.

As the magnet 54, various magnets that have been put into practical use can be used. For example, it can be composed of iron, nickel, cobalt, and alloys thereof. Since the magnet 54 directly hits the skin surface, it is preferable to use a magnet made of a member that is less irritating to the skin and whose physical properties are hardly changed by sweat or the like.

As described above, in this embodiment,
Since the sponge layer 52 is provided on the skin contact member 4 and the magnet accommodating recess 53 is formed in the sponge layer 52 to accommodate the magnet 54, even if the magnet 54 is hard, the magnet 54 should not strongly contact the surface of the nose. Can be. However, the magnet 54 may be directly mounted on the skin contact member 4 without providing the sponge layer 52.

As shown in FIG. 12, a magnet housing portion 3a is formed in the nostril expanding member 3 and the magnet housing portion 3a is formed.
The magnet 54 may be stored and held therein. Further, a plurality of nostril expanding members 3 may be arranged, and the magnet 54 may be arranged between them. Further, a magnet 54 may be provided between the nostril expanding member 3 and the skin contact member 4. In this way, the hard magnet 54
Can be prevented from directly contacting the skin surface.

The magnet 54 may be provided without disposing the nostril expanding member 3. In this case, the effect of forcibly expanding the nostril cannot be obtained by the elastic restoring force,
Nose can be dilated by improving blood circulation. Various magnets can be considered as the shape of the magnet. For example, a planar magnet may be attached to the nostril expanding member.

[0043]

As described above, according to the present invention, according to the present invention, the adhesive is partially provided on the back surface of the tape to constitute the nostril expanding tape. The area of the adhesive interposed between the adhesive and the surface of the nose can be made as small as possible, so that the skin can be prevented from being respired on the surface of the nose by the adhesive.

According to another feature of the present invention, since the mark is provided at the center of the back surface of the nostril expanding tape, the center of the tape body can be easily brought into contact with the center of the nose, and the nostril can be easily abutted. It is easy to accurately apply the expansion tape to a predetermined position on the surface of the nose.

According to another feature of the present invention, the magnetic lines of force are radiated from the tape, so that blood flow in the nose can be promoted by the lines of magnetic force, and the swelling caused by the blockage of blood flow can be reduced. It can improve and dilate the nostrils.
