Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a tape for eliminating stuffy nose.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art When a person catches a cold or causes allergy due to pollen (hay fever), a runny nose or the like accumulates in the nostrils, so-called nasal congestion occurs. When a stuffy nose occurs, it is difficult to breathe through the nose. Therefore, it is necessary to increase breathing in the mouth and make up for the inability to breathe in the nose.
However, breathing with the mouth has the disadvantage that water in the body easily escapes with the breath, dryness of the throat and consumes more physical strength than necessary, and in addition to breathing with the nose Inefficiency and unstable breathing rhythm.

[0003] Therefore, when a stuffy nose occurs, when studying or working, the user loses concentration and becomes inefficient, or sleepiness occurs due to insufficient oxygen supply. Also,
Nasal congestion is not preferable because respiratory efficiency deteriorates even when oxygen is required more than usual, such as when exercising. Therefore, conventionally, as a method for relieving the above-mentioned stuffy nose, the nose is chewed, the nose is passed through the nose in otolaryngology or the like, or a drug that works for a runny nose or stuffy nose is used.

[0004]

However, in the above-mentioned method, in many cases, it is not enough to eliminate the stuffy nose simply by blowing the nose.
There is a problem that the nose is immediately returned to the stuffy state. In addition, there is a problem that it takes too much time to go to an otolaryngologist for treatment, and there is also a concern about side effects due to medicine when suppressing nasal congestion with medicine.

In view of the above, the present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and it is possible to eliminate stuffiness in the nose without trouble and without worrying about side effects, and also to improve the passage of air in the nostrils. The purpose was to provide a cancellation tape.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, a tape for eliminating nasal congestion according to the present invention comprises a tape-shaped base member having a length capable of being bridged over right and left nasal wings, and A tape body comprising an adhesive portion provided along the back surface of the material portion, the tape body includes a bioactive component that promotes a volatile blood circulation promoting action, and at least the bioactive component of the tape body includes a bioactive component of the tape body. It was configured to be contained in a position that can be radiated to the outside and / or a position that can be directly penetrated into the skin.

In the above structure, any material may be used for the base material as long as it has air permeability and flexibility, and the material is not particularly limited. Examples of the material include an air-permeable elastic material such as nonwoven fabric, woven fabric, paper, and rubber, provided with a plurality of fine holes, and a film represented by polyurethane.

Further, in the above structure, as in the invention of claim 2, when the base material portion is formed by bending a surface sheet formed of a nonwoven fabric having air permeability, a reinforcing material, and the base material portion, It is more preferable to have a configuration including a plate-shaped core material having elasticity that urges the material portion to return to the original state, and a back sheet formed of a nonwoven fabric having air permeability.

As the physiologically active ingredient which promotes a volatile blood circulation promoting action (hereinafter, referred to only as "bioactive ingredient"), any physiologically active ingredient such as blood circulation promotion can be used. It does not matter, but there is no particular limitation, for example,
Examples include aromatic terpenes and spice extracts typified by pepper and ginger. Of these, it is preferable to use a menthol-based substance as in the third aspect of the present invention.

The position where the physiologically active component is contained in the stuffy nose tape may be contained directly in the base portion or in the adhesive portion. If it does, it may be contained in any part of the top sheet, back sheet, reinforcing material, or core material. Further, the method for causing the inclusion may be any method such as coating, impregnation, and kneading, and is not particularly limited.

Examples of the reinforcing material include a nonwoven fabric, a woven fabric, and an elastic material such as rubber having a thickness and strength enough to prevent the stuffy nose tape from being broken or twisted during use. It is desirable to have breathability that allows the bioactive ingredient to pass through, and flexibility that allows it to flex freely. The core material may be made of any material, such as plastic or metal, as long as it has elasticity to urge it to return to its original state when flexed.

The pressure-sensitive adhesive forming the pressure-sensitive adhesive portion is not particularly limited, but a pressure-sensitive adhesive, such as a pressure-sensitive adhesive made of an acrylic copolymer, is preferable.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a tape for eliminating stuffy nose according to the present invention. FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram showing a state in which an embodiment of the nose congestion eliminating tape of the present invention is actually used.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the stuffy nose tape of FIG. FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view of the stuffy nose tape of FIG.

As shown in FIG. 2, the nose congestion eliminating tape 1 includes a tape body 10 including a base material 2 and an adhesive portion 3, and a release paper 6. As shown in FIG. 1, the base member 2 has a tape shape with a length that can be bridged across the left and right nose wings. As shown in FIG. 2, the width of the center of the oval in the longitudinal direction is narrow. Figure 3
As shown in FIG. 2, the core material 4 and the reinforcing material 5 are sandwiched between the top sheet 21 and the back sheet 22 to form a four-layer structure.

More specifically, the top sheet 21 and the back sheet 22 have a thickness of 0.1 to 0.5 mm, a length of 20 to 100 mm, and a width of 5 to 20 mm (made of polystyrene?). In order to improve air permeability, a large number of small holes are provided throughout. Core material 4
Is made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resin and has a thickness of 0.1 to 0.5 mm and a length of 20 to 100.
mm, a plate shape with a width of 5 to 20 mm, and is formed in an area smaller than the top sheet 21 and the back sheet 22, and is located at the center in the longitudinal direction of the base member 2 and returns to its original state when bent. Has the power to restore.

The reinforcing member 5 has a thickness of 0.2 to 0.8 mm,
It is made of a polyester woven fabric having a length of 20 to 100 mm and a width of 5 to 20 mm, but has a thickness greater than that of the base member 2 in order to provide strength. Further, the reinforcing material 5 is impregnated with a menthol-based substance (hereinafter, referred to only as “menthol”) as a physiologically active component. This menthol is a volatile substance and is constantly radiating from the stuffy nose tape 1 to the outside. Therefore, when the stuffy tape 1 is not used, the stuffy tape 1 is sealed in a highly airtight bag (not shown) so that the loss due to the volatilization of menthol can be suppressed. ing.

The adhesive portion 3 is provided with an adhesive made of an acrylic copolymer which does not cause allergy to the skin on the surface of the back sheet 22 opposite to the surface facing the top sheet 21 over the entire surface. It is formed by stacking. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the release paper 6 has a release agent facing the adhesive portion 3 of the release paper 6 so that the release agent can be easily peeled off from the adhesive portion 3 even when attached to the adhesive portion 3. Is coated over the entire surface.

Next, a method of using the stuffy nose tape 1 will be described. First, the release paper 6 is peeled off from the stuffy nose tape 1 so that the adhesive portion 3 appears. Next, as shown in FIG. 1, after adjusting the orientation so that both ends in the longitudinal direction of the tape body 10 are bridged on both sides of the upper part of the nose wing, the tape body 10 is bent according to the shape of the nose, and the adhesive is formed. The part 3 is brought into contact with the nose.

Thereafter, the tape body 10 is pressed down from the surface with a finger, and the stuffy nose tape 1 is completely adhered to the nose so that the stuffy nose tape 1 does not fall off the nose naturally.

Next, the function and effect of the stuffy nose tape 1 will be described. When the nose congestion eliminating tape 1 is adhered to the nose as described above, the physiologically active component of menthol impregnated in the reinforcing material 5 passes through the air-permeable topsheet 21 and becomes a nose congestion eliminating tape. It radiates to the outside from the surface of 1 and is inhaled from the nostrils with air,
It passes through the back sheet 22 and the adhesive section 3 and penetrates from the skin.

Therefore, menthol containing a physiologically active ingredient having a function of giving a fresh stimulus to the stuffy nose, promoting blood circulation and eliminating the feeling of stuffy nose is taken in from the nostrils through the air. As well as
Since it is taken into the nostrils directly through the skin, it is possible to eliminate congestion in the nose. Further, since the core member 4 is made of an elastic PET resin plate-like material, the core member 4 which is bent according to the shape of the nose when the stuffy nose elimination tape 1 is attached to the nose. The nostrils are widened by the elastic force trying to return to the original position.

Then, in addition to the above-mentioned nasal congestion effect, an effect that the inside of the nostrils is widened and the air flow is improved is added, and the nasal congestion is more effectively eliminated. Moreover, since menthol volatilizes from the stuffy nose tape 1 to the outside,
The stimulating component of menthol works on the eyes and also helps prevent sleepiness. Therefore, when the stuffy nose is eliminated, there is no lack of concentration and no drowsiness when studying or working, and it is enough for when you need more oxygen than usual, such as when exercising. You can take oxygen.

Further, since the tape body 10 has a structure in which the width at the center in the longitudinal direction of the oval is narrow, the width of the center of the nose where the bending is strongest is narrow, and the width of the portion facing the nasal wing is reduced. Because the width is wide, it fits perfectly with the shape of the nose, and can be easily attached to the nose. Note that the stuffy nose tape 1 is an example of an embodiment of the present invention, and is not limited to this embodiment.

For example, the shape of the nose congestion eliminating tape is not limited to the shape of the tape main body 10 in which the width at the center in the longitudinal direction is narrow, but any shape such as a simple oval or rectangle. You can do it. As for the adhesive portion, even if the adhesive is not laminated over the entire back surface of the base member 2 like the adhesive portion 3 of the stuffy nose tape 1, at least both ends of the back surface of the base member 2 When the adhesive is applied, the nose stuffing tape can be attached to the nose wing.

Further, for example, a cutout portion is provided along the outer peripheral edge of the nose congestion eliminating tape so that the size of the nose congestion eliminating tape can be arbitrarily changed, so that a normal nose congestion eliminating tape such as a child can be used. Even when the size is too large to be used and it is difficult to use, by removing the outside of the cutout portion, the size of the stuffy nose tape can be reduced to make it easier to use.

In the above-described embodiment, the size of the core material 4 is smaller than that of the top sheet 21 or the back sheet 22.
Even if it has the same size as 2, there is no particular problem as long as the menthol can be radiated to the outside of the tape body 10 or can penetrate directly into the skin.

[0028]

As described above, the tape for eliminating nasal congestion according to the present invention can be used to eliminate nasal congestion without worrying about side effects, and can be easily attached and detached. It also increases concentration at work and prevents drowsiness. According to the second aspect of the present invention, since the nostrils are widened, the air flow is further improved, and sufficient oxygen can be taken in when exercise requires more oxygen than usual.
