Description

Taping bands for joints}

The present invention relates to a taping band attached to the body to prevent injury and pain. More specifically, it is specifically for joint use and can be easily and conveniently used by anyone without expertise in taping therapy without cutting using a separate cutting tool. It relates to a joint taping band that has been developed to not only allow the band to be attached to the skin surface of the joint area without lifting, but also to be firmly fixed.

In general, muscles are naturally capable of stretching and restoring force freely. During intense exercise, the muscles tend to relax or become rigid, and if the muscles are not restored, pain is accompanied.

Pain in muscles and joints can be caused by excessive fatigue as well as injuries. If a strong stimulus from outside the body is suddenly received, or if even a weak stimulus continues, injuries to joints (ligaments, cartilage, etc.) and muscles can occur. It can cause it.

In some cases, injection treatment or physical therapy is performed to treat these physical injuries or pain. However, pain can be alleviated and prevented in advance by combining conservative measures on the body part where pain occurs.

Accordingly, recently, taping therapy has been widely used to prevent muscle or joint injuries and relieve pain.

Taping therapy assists muscle contraction and relaxation in the attached area by attaching tape with elasticity and adhesiveness (also known as “sports tape” or “kinesio tape”) to the affected area, and can treat and prevent muscle damage in the user. When attached to a joint, it can fix the joint, limit the joint's range of motion, and reinforce ligaments and tendons.

However, the existing commercially available tapes used in taping therapy are made in rolls and have to be cut using cutting tools such as scissors or knives when taping, which is very inconvenient and cumbersome. In particular, tapes wound in rolls are very inconvenient and cumbersome. Because they all have a certain width, when applied to the joint area, some parts are easily lifted, preventing thorough adhesion as a whole, which reduces the taping effect.

In addition, since roll-type tape is used integratedly not only on joints but also on other muscle areas, specialized knowledge through expert training is required to cut it into a shape or size appropriate for the application area, and pain can occur if used carelessly. It was difficult for the general public to use it because it appeared more severe or had no taping effect at all.

In addition, existing taping tapes only provide insufficient ventilation through the fiber pores of the material itself, so there is a problem of skin problems such as skin eczema due to the skin being covered by the tape and ventilation not being provided properly.

Hereinafter, with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5, the taping band for joints of the present invention will be described in detail.

The taping band for joints of the present invention is rectangular and includes a band sheet (10) including an elastic base sheet (11) and an adhesive layer (12) formed by applying an adhesive to the bottom of the base sheet (11). It is configured to include. Release paper may be provided on the lower surface of the adhesive layer 12.

The base sheet 11 is made of an elastic fabric with elasticity, and may be made of a fabric woven from synthetic fibers with elasticity. However, it is not limited to this, and the base sheet 11 may be made of a non-woven fabric rather than a fabric as long as it has elasticity, or it may be made of a synthetic film with elasticity.

In the present invention, the band sheet 10 may have a thickness of 0.1 mm to 3 mm and may have various rectangular sizes such as 2 cm wide x 5 cm long, 3 cm wide x 6 cm long.

This band sheet 10 is configured to include a “T” shaped main band 20 and a pair of auxiliary bands 25 and 26.

This pair of auxiliary bands 25 and 26 may be connected to the “T” shaped main band 20 to form a rectangular band sheet 10.

On both sides of the band sheet 10, opposing "ㄱ" shaped perforations 15 are formed, and the auxiliary bands 25 and 26 on both sides are separated from the main band 20 through these perforations 15. It is designed so that it can be cut and used separately.

The main band 20 is formed to integrally extend at a right angle from the joint fixing part 21 attached to cover the joint area and the middle portion in the width direction of the joint fixing part 21, and moves away from the joint along the joint movable area. It is configured to include a joint movement limiter (23) that is attached and provides joint movement resistance to limit excessive movement of the joint.

The present invention is a taping band used for taping therapy, and can be especially used on joints. The tape is not made in a roll type with a certain width as before, and can be easily used without cutting using a separate cutting tool.

Referring to Figures 3 and 4, the user separates the band sheet 10 into the main band 20 and a pair of auxiliary bands 25 and 26, and attaches the joint fixing portion 21 of the main band 20. It can be conveniently used by attaching it to the joint area to cover the joint, and attaching the remaining joint movement limiting part 23 to the joint movable area away from the movable area, that is, the joint.

In the present invention, the main band 20 is formed in a "T" shape, and the joint movement limiting portion 23 is configured to have a smaller width compared to the joint fixing portion 21, compared to the existing roll-type tape with a constant width. The joint fixation part 21 can be fixed to the joint area without lifting and the joint movement limiting part 23 can be well attached to the joint movement area.

By attaching the main band 20 in this way, the present invention provides joint movement resistance to the movement of the joint due to the elasticity of the material, thereby limiting excessive movement of the joint, thereby preventing joint damage due to excessive joint movement. It prevents pain and allows joint recovery to occur.

The present invention can be used by attaching only the main band 20 to the joint area, but in order to prevent the joint movement limiting part 23 from falling off the skin according to joint movement and to firmly maintain the attachment force of the joint movement limiting part 23. Additional auxiliary bands (25,26) can be used.

The auxiliary bands 25 and 26 can be attached and used to cross at right angles to the joint movement limiting portion 23. At this time, either of the auxiliary bands 25 and 26 may be used, or both may be used. When both auxiliary bands 25 and 26 are used, the first auxiliary band 26 is attached crosswise to the end of the joint movement limiting part 23 and is attached to the middle of the joint movement limiting part 23 in the longitudinal direction. It may be configured to include a second auxiliary band 25.

The taping band of the present invention may be manufactured with the main band 20 and the auxiliary bands 25 and 26 individually configured, but as shown in Figure 1, the main band 20 and the auxiliary bands 25 and 26 are It is manufactured as a rectangular band sheet (10), cut through the perforation line (15), and easily separated into the main band (20) and auxiliary bands (25, 26) for use, making product handling and packaging very easy. It can happen.

In the present invention, the band sheet 10 can be divided into a small size applied to small joints such as fingers and toes, and a medium to large size applied to relatively large joints such as knees, shoulders, and ankles, as shown in Figures 3 and 3. Figure 4 is a use example of the taping band of the present invention manufactured in a small size, and Figure 5 is a use example of the taping band manufactured in a large size.

Referring to Figures 3 and 4, the present invention attaches and fixes the joint fixation part 21 to the joint area of the finger or toe using the main band 20, and moves the joint movement limiting part 23 away from the joint. It can be attached in a direction where resistance may occur in joint movement, and the auxiliary bands (25, 26) can be attached crosswise to cover the joint movement limitation unit (23) to more firmly fix the joint movement limitation unit (23). You can. This can limit excessive joint movement in your fingers or toes, reducing pain and allowing joint injuries to heal.

In addition, as shown in Figure 5, the joint fixing part 21 of the main band 20 is attached to the ankle joint, and the joint movement limiting part 23 is moved away from the ankle joint in a direction that can provide exercise resistance to joint movement. It can be attached to limit excessive movement of joints. At this time, using multiple main bands 20, the joint fixing part 21 of each main band 20 is attached so as to overlap the ankle joint area, and the remaining joint movement limiting parts 23 are oriented in different directions. By attaching it, movement of the ankle joint can be restricted in multiple directions.

Meanwhile, the main band 20 of the present invention has been described above as being configured so that the joint movement limiting portion 23 extends integrally from the middle portion of the joint fixing portion 21 to only one side, but it is not limited thereto. As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the joint movement limiting portion 23 may be configured as a pair and integrally extended from the middle of the joint fixing portion 21 to both sides at right angles.

In this case, as shown in Figure 7, the joint fixing part 21 of the main band 20 is attached to the knee area, the joint movement limiting part 23 on one side is attached to the lower limb side, and the joint movement limiting part 23 on the other side is attached to the knee area. By attaching it to the upper extremity side, the range of motion of the upper and lower extremities relative to the knee joint can be more clearly restricted.

Referring to FIG. 8, the band sheet 10' of the present invention is formed by applying silicone to strengthen elasticity to the upper surface of the base sheet 11 to provide stronger joint movement resistance, thereby forming a silicone layer 14. It can be configured.

In this case, the base sheet 11 is made of elastic fabric or non-woven fabric, and silicon is applied to the upper surface of the base sheet 11 to form the silicone layer 14, thereby reducing the thickness of the base sheet 11. Even without making it thick, joint motion resistance can be designed to the desired level.

On the other hand, in the present invention, the silicon layer 14 may be formed over the entire upper surface of the base sheet 11 as shown in FIG. 8, but the silicon layer 14 is formed only on the upper surface of the main band 20. ) may be configured. In this case, by forming the silicon layer 14 only on the main band 20 that substantially provides joint motion resistance, the silicon material for forming the silicon layer 14 can be reduced, thereby lowering the manufacturing cost.

Referring to Figure 9, the present invention can be configured so that a plurality of ventilation holes 17 are formed on the band sheet 10''. By overcoming the limitations of breathability through pores formed in the fibers of the base sheet 11 and allowing the skin to be directly exposed to the outside through the ventilation hole 17, thereby increasing breathability, the attachment area of the band sheet becomes humid. This can prevent problems from occurring.

In the present invention, the ventilation holes 17 have a diameter of 0.1 to 0.5 mm, and are preferably formed in square rows at intervals of 2 mm to 3 mm on the band sheet 10''. This is because if the arrangement spacing or diameter of the ventilation hole 17 is too large, a satisfactory level of elasticity for providing joint movement resistance cannot be provided, and if it is too small, ventilation becomes extremely weak, so this is to satisfy both ventilation and appropriate elasticity. am.

Referring to Figure 10, the main band 20 of the present invention has at least one first incision line 22 formed on both ends of the joint fixing part 21, and at least at the bottom of the joint movement limiting part 23. It can be configured so that one or more second incision lines 24 are formed.

In this case, as shown in Figure 10, both ends of the joint fixing part 21 can be attached to the skin by splitting through the first incision line 22, and the lower end of the joint movement limiting part 23 is connected to the second incision line. It can be split and attached to the skin through (24), which further improves the adhesion of the joint fixation part (21) or the joint movement limiting part (23) to continuously provide joint motion resistance.

Referring to Figure 11, the present invention is formed on the upper surface of the main band 20, and the elasticity adjustment band portion 30 is separated by the user to adjust the longitudinal elasticity of the main band 20 to adjust the intensity of joint movement resistance. can be further configured.

This elastic adjustment band portion (30) is made of an elastic fabric material with adhesive applied to the bottom and has elasticity, and has a length from the upper middle portion of the joint fixing portion (21) to the lower end of the joint movement limiting portion (23). , It consists of a square band shape having the width of the joint movement limiting part 23, and is configured to be attached to the entire upper surface area of the joint motion limiting part 23 and the upper surface middle part of the joint fixing part 21, as shown in FIG. .

This elastic adjustment band portion (30) is attached to the main band (20) in a form of at least two layers overlapping, so that the user can perform joint movements while the main band (20) is attached to the joint area and do not perform joint movements at all. If the joint movement resistance is felt to be excessive enough to not be able to do so, the elasticity of the main band 20 can be lowered by separating the multiple layers of the elasticity adjustment band 30 one by one, thereby appropriately adjusting the joint movement resistance.

On the other hand, when the elasticity adjustment band portion 30 is configured to overlap the main band 20 in multiple layers as described above, the overall product thickness may become thick, so as shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, a single elasticity adjustment band 30 ) can be configured to be divided into multiple areas in parallel to adjust the elasticity by partially separating and removing the elasticity adjustment band 30.

Specifically, the elasticity adjustment band portion 30 is configured to be long along the longitudinal direction, and may be composed of a plurality of elasticity adjustment bands 31, 32, and 33 formed in parallel in the width direction, and the elasticity adjustment bands 31, 32,33) consists of a central elastic adjustment band (31) attached to the middle portion of the width of the joint movement limitation portion (23), and attached to the joint movement limitation portion (23) on both sides of the central elasticity adjustment band (31). A pair of first outer elasticity adjustment bands (32) and a pair of second outer elasticity adjustment bands attached to the joint movement limiter (23) on both sides of the pair of first outer elasticity adjustment bands (32). It is configured to include a band (33).

The user adjusts the main band (20) by removing one, two or both of the central elasticity control band (31), the first outer elasticity control band (32), and the second outer elasticity control band (33), thereby adjusting the joint movement resistance. can be adjusted.

In addition, the elasticity adjustment band portion 30 connects the lower ends of the pair of first outer elasticity adjustment bands 32 to remove the pair of first outer elasticity adjustment bands 32 from the main band 20 at the same time. A handle portion 36 may be configured, and the upper ends of the pair of first outer elasticity adjustment bands 33 may be connected to form a pair of second outer elasticity adjustment bands 33 at the same time on the main band 20. An upper handle portion 35 for removal may be configured.

Although the present invention has been shown and described in connection with preferred embodiments for illustrating the principles of the present invention, the present invention is not limited to the configuration and operation as shown and described. Rather, those skilled in the art will be able to understand that many changes and modifications can be made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the appended claims. Accordingly, all such appropriate changes, modifications and equivalents shall be considered to fall within the scope of the present invention.
