The material of the chip is preferably, for example, silicon rubber provided with an adhesive layer on the back surface.
Silicone rubber is transparent when it is made thin and can be worn casually so as not to be noticed.
A microencapsulated humectant may be immobilized on a polymer rubber, a chemical fiber nonwoven fabric or paper.
Moreover, what fixed the vinyl chloride resin containing additives, such as a calcium carbonate and a silica, with the nonwoven fabric etc. may be used.
As an example of the shape of the chip, it may be a substantially elliptical shape, and in this case, it can be fitted to the shape of the finger pad.
In order to solve the above-described problem, at least one cutout portion that holds the sense of the finger pad may be provided.
The notch may be oval, circular, triangular, quadrangular, polygonal or character simulated, or a combination thereof.
The feeling of a finger can be maintained through the notch, and a sense of incongruity can be reduced during operations other than page turning.
The chip may be colored. In this case, fashionability can be added to the above-described effects.
By placing one of the above chips or a combination thereof on one side or both sides of the sheet-like support or the tape-like support with the adhesive layer on the front side or the back side, a page turning chip assembly is obtained. The sales form of the chip can be arranged. Moreover, it can be set as the sales form which affixes the said chip | tip on a finger pad by one touch.
