ADHESIVE TAPE.

Application filed December 2, 1'928. Serial No. 152,173.'

This invention relates to an antiseptic adhesive tape and has for its object to provide, in amanner as hereinafter set forth, a tape of the class referred to, capable of being handled in an absolutely sanitary manner when applied. I

A further object of the invention is to provide, in a manner A,as hereinafter set forth, a tape of the class referred to, with. a medicated element and with means to prevent such element from becoming wet, damp or dislodged after the tape has been applied.

A further object of the invention is to provide, in a manner as hereinafter set forth, a tape of the class "referred` to with a medicated element and with means for` protecting such element when the tape is not in use, and further when the tape is in use, the saidV means acting as a filtering agent which will permit of the passage of air for ventilation, but will not permit the passage of water and other substances which may p impair the medicated element or that'may infect the wound or diseased part upon which the medicated element has been applied and held in position by such means.

A further object of the invention is to provide, in a manneras hereinafter set forth, a tape of the class referred to, where-l by it can be made up in rolls or other forms without the surface thereof sticking together and further to retain the medicinal qualities thereof until applied.

Further objects of the invention are to provide, in a manner as hereinafter set forth, an antiseptic adhesivetape, which is "comparatively -simple in its construction and arrangement, durable, strong, compact, thoroughly efficient in its use, convenient-ly applied and comparatively inexpensive to manufacture.

With the foregoing and other objects in view, the invention consists of the novel and a pair of oppositel cordance with this invention; and with one a of the protecting elements for the medicated element lifted therefrom.

Figure4 2 isa cross sectional view of an K antiseptic adhesive tape in laccordance with this invention.

Figure 3 is a cross sectional view of an antiseptic adhesive tape, in accordance with this invention, and with each of the protecting elements of the medicated element shifted off the latter. l

Figure 4 is a fragmentary view, in ltop plan, of the medicated element-carrier.

An antiseptic adhesive tape, in accordance with this'invention comprises a medicated element-carrier referred to generally by the reference 'character 1 andhereinafter termed a web, -amedicated element referred to generally by the reference character 2,'

disposed protecting elements for t e me icated element and referred to generally by the reference characters 3, 4.

The web 1 can be of any desirable length and width andit is constructed'of closely .Woven fabric, such as high class `shirtin material and preferably the web 1 is forme from closely woven lnadras, but it is to be understood that any closely woven fabric,

suitable for the purpose intended, can be 'used to construct ythe web 1. The lower face 5 of the web l is non-adhesive throughout. The upper face 6, of the web 1, at a pointadjacent the longitudinal median thereof and each side edge is provided with an adhesive coating, and the said coatings areindicated at 7, 8. The coatings 7 and 8 are spaced from each other to provide the longitudinal central portion of the upper face 6 of the web 1, free of adhesive material and that portion of the upper face 6 of the web 1, which is free of adhesive material is indicated at 9 and is of less width thanl the width of the medicated element2. As the lower face of the web 1, is free of adhesive material and the portion 9 of the upper face of the web 1 free of adhesive material, the said portions provide what may be.

'termed a filtering portlon and said filtering portion is water repellent, or in other words the said liltering portion will permit of the 4passage of air therethrough for ventilation,

but will not permit water to pass there-v through, as well `as not permitting other substances to pass therethrough which may, impair the medicated element or that may infect the wound or diseased part upon which the medicated element is applied. If the web 1 becomes wet, the threads from which it is constructed will swell whereby they will closely fit or abut each other at the said filtering portion and prevent the passage of water therethrough., but will not prevent the passage of air for ventilating purposes.`

The web 1 is saturated with a solution of oxychinolin, sulphonic acid and sodium bicarbonate and after bein, r saturated it is thoroughly dried. rlhe solution is formed fromeightvparts of oxychinolin, live parts of sulplionic. acid and twenty-one parts of sodium bicarbonate. This makes the web thoroughly antispetic. The adhesive coatings 7 and S are of the water repellent type.

The medicated element 2 comprises a carrier for a medicament. The carrier is formed from any suitable flexible. material, folded or nonfolded, and which is saturated with any suitable medicament. As shown the medicated element is constructed, from .medicated light gauze material, folded to provide a series of interengagmg lengthwise extending

folds

10, 11, 12 and 13 of equal width. The fold 10 has each marginal por tion hof its lower face secured to an adhesive coating. When the medicated element 2 is secured to the web 1, the lower face of the fold 10 at the longitudinal center thereof is free of any adhesive material and that ortion of the lower face of the fold 10, w ich is free of adhesive material, is indicated at 14. -By this arrangement there is no adhesive substance present which wll'interfcre with the passage of air to the medicated element, or in other words that portion of the lower face of the fold 10, which opposes the portion 9 of the upper face of the web 1 is free of adhesive and under such conditions the air can filter or passv into the the web. The width of the lnedieate medicated element 2 for Ventilating purposes, and which permits the secretion from a wound to be disintegrated, thus more readily keeping the wound open and facilitating the healing process.

The medicated-element 2 is of materially less width than the width of the web 1 and is preferably m disposed with respect to the upper face 6 of the latter, as to be positioned equi-distant from each side ed e of element 2 is such that it will extend-upon the inner` marginal portion Y of each' adhesive coating whereby. the major portion of each adhesive coating is arranged adjacent the side edge of the element 2.

The protecting elements 3, 4 are remov able, and each of which is preferabl constructed of gauze. Each protecting e ement is of less width than the 'width of the web and of greater width than the width of the 4 medicated element 2. Each protecting element is co-extensive with the medicated element and each has a portion of its width, as indicated at 15 removably secured with the web 1, by an adhesive coating, adjacent to a side edge of the medicated element 2. That portion of the protecting element which is not connected with the web by the adhesive coating is indicated at 16 and is of greater width than the portion 15. The secured portion 15 of the protecting element is spaced from a side edge of the element 2. Preferably the v outer side edges of the protecting elements are flush with the side edges of the web 1.

'Ihe portions 10 of the protecting elements, when in protecting position with respect to the medicated element 2, are arranged to overlap each other as shown in Figure 2 and with the portion 16 of one'of the protecting elements seated on the top of the medicatec element 2. The portions 16 of the protecting elements, when in protecting position are oppositely disposed with respect to each other and one overlaps the other. The portions 16 ot' the protecting elements permit of the same being readily gras ed and removed from the web 1 when it is esired to use the medicated element 2. When the protecting elements are removed, the adhesive coating exposed is utilized to secure the web to the person whereby the medicated element 2 will e retained in position, owing to the characteristic possessed by the web 1 it prevents the medicated element 2 from becoming wet or damp after having ,been applied, and furthermore provides for the passage of air to the medicated element 2 for the purpose of sanitation. The tape can be handled in a thoroughly sanitary manner as it is unnec essary at any time for the operator to come in contact with the medicated element 2.

It is thought that the many advantages of an antiseptic adhesive ta e, in accordance with this invention, can e readily understood, and although' the preferred embodiment of the invention is as illustrated and described, yet it is to be understood that changes inthe details of construction can be had which will -fall within the scope of the invention as claimed.
