A keyne oligology tape is composed of a fabric that includes generally anonymously covered elastic and inelastic fibers disposed on the human skin. Keynes oligodelic tapes are useful for restoration to accelerate healing and recovery to reduce the pain of overused and injured muscles. Tape can have a flotation effect on the skin, which can reduce the pressure in the nociceptor, thereby reducing pain and improving circulation, thereby reducing swelling and inflammation.

Nonetheless, there are a number of disadvantages to the current technology for key networking tapes. In particular, in order to provide adequate support for various muscle groups or body parts, the body adhesive tape must be applied in a particular manner, which often requires the use of multiple strips of a certain size and shape. However, keynetwork tape is generally available in roll form, and the user must remove the correct amount from the roll of tape, and occasionally, further cut the piece to allow the tape to adequately support the joint or muscle .

Exercise Body Adhesive KeyNetworking tapes need to be strong, resiliently resilient and resistant to tearing to provide adequate support to the user. Such tapes should not be easily torn into small pieces, but must be cut carefully to the desired size and shape. This requires the use of scissors to cut the tape to the desired shape and size. However, the scissors must be very sharp because the tape is not easily cut. This is dangerous to the user because the user must carry these scissors to the gymnasium or other location of use.

Cutting of the key network tape can also leave edges with sharp edges on the key network tape. Since key neural tape is often used on or near the joints, these sharp edges can continue to pierce the user or irritate the user in other ways. Also, the cutting edge of the tape can start to fray due to cutting. This may cause the key network tape to be released while the user is participating in certain physical activities. Alternatively, the user may need to pause during activity to reapply the keynetwork tape so that the tape does not loosen or fall off.

In addition, various joints and muscle groups may require the application of different key neuralogy tapes. In fact, a single joint or group of muscles may require a different structural keying tape for different injuries to that joint or group of muscles. Therefore, the user needs to be aware of the type and length of the key network tape for application and the appropriate application method.

Therefore, only those with access to specialized personnel, such as personal trainers or physiotherapists, can take advantage of keynetwork tape. However, those who can not access these specialists, such as those who come to the gym occasionally or because of other times, places or access reasons, can not enjoy these advantages.

This hampers normal users from receiving support benefits from these tapes. The casual user does not have the means to cut the tape and may not be well aware of the various shapes and sizes of the particular tape strip required to support a particular body area.

Thus, the design of body adhesive kinescological tape that can be applied to a number of useful structures without the need for cutting and customization is an improvement in the art.

In addition to providing support, the body adhesive kinesisology tape is used by athletes to improve their athletic performance and is used by athletes to reduce muscle pain, assist in healing from injury, Used by players. When applied to the body part with the skin tightly pulled, the elastic properties of the body adhesive kinesiology tape after the return of the skin to the non-elongated position provide the skin with an outward stretch or "lift" Thereby providing improved fluid flow from the taped area by assisting in opening the lymphatic system. In addition, this stretching force can provide a balance of muscle strain.

FIG. 1 illustrates an example of a key network tape 100. FIG. In at least one embodiment, the key network tape 100 is comprised of a strip of elastic and non-elastic fibers, each covered with a material that may include an ankle disposed on the human skin. The individual fibers are woven together to form a fabric-like tape that can be stretched in any direction. In particular, the kinesisology tape 100 is useful for therapy to reduce the pain of overused and injured muscles, reconstruction to accelerate recovery, and prevention of future injuries. The keyne oligology tape 100 may have a flotation effect on the skin, which may reduce annoyance and inflammation by reducing pressure and improving circulation by removing pressure from the pain receptor.

FIG. 1 illustrates that keying layer tape 100 may comprise fabric 102. In at least one embodiment, the fabric 102 may comprise any network of natural or artificial fibers, including textiles and fabrics. In at least one embodiment, the fibers may comprise threads or yarns. By way of example, voids may be produced by spinning raw wool fibers, linen, cotton or other materials on a spinning wheel to produce long strands. Fabric 102 may be formed by weaving together, braiding, crocheting, forming a knot or pressing fibers together, such as in a felt. One of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that fabric 102 may comprise a single fiber or more than one fiber.

Figure 1 shows that the fabric 102 may include a generally rectangular shape. In particular, the keying strip tape 100 extends longitudinally from the first end 104a to the second end 104b (generally end 104). The width and length of the keying strip tape 100 may be varied as needed for a particular application. By way of example, the width may range from about 1 inch to about 3 inches, and in the exemplary embodiment described herein, a width of about 2 inches is used. Similarly, the typical length of each individual strip can be from about 8 to about 12 inches, and a length of about 10 inches is used as an exemplary example described herein.

Figure 1 also shows that the edges of the key network tape 100 may include rounded corners 106 at the outer edges. As used herein, the term "outer edge" includes any edge on the outer edge of the keying stone tape 100, unless otherwise specified in the specification or claims. In at least one embodiment, the rounded edge 106 may prevent fraying during application. Additionally or alternatively, the rounded edge 106 may reduce the chance of accidental separation during use of the key network tape 100. By way of example, the rounded edge 106 is much less likely to be caught on other materials, such as a user's garment, that can detach the keyneoscopic tape 100 during use is less than a square edge. Additionally or alternatively, the rounded edge 106 may provide more comfort to the user because the rounded edge 106 does not have a sharp edge that causes the user to poke or otherwise cause discomfort to be.

Figure 1 also shows that the key network tape 100 may include longitudinal cuts 108. In at least one embodiment, the longitudinal cuts 108 allow a user to divide a portion of the key network tape 100 when applying the key network tape 100 to a user's body, as described below. Let's do it. The longitudinal cuts 108 may extend into the body of the tape section that runs longitudinally from the second end 104b toward the first end 104a. In particular, the longitudinal cuts 108 can extend to an end point prior to the first end 104a, so that a non-cut portion of the tape is disposed at the second end 104b. By way of example, the longitudinal cuts 108 may extend from the second end 104b to about two inches at the first end 104a.

In at least one embodiment, the longitudinal cuts 108 can pass completely through the key network tape 100 or only partially through the key network tape 100. That is, the longitudinal cuts 108 may pass only a portion of the width of the key network tape 100. The longitudinal cuts 108 passing through only a portion of the keying allotment tape 100 can prevent separation along the longitudinal cuts 108 unless required by the user. In particular, the longitudinal cuts 108 are configured to allow the user to divide the key network tape 100 along the longitudinal cuts 108, and any mechanism by which the user can perform this is contemplated herein do. By way of example, the longitudinal cuts 108 may include cutouts to allow the user to easily separate the longitudinal cuts 108 by application of a separation force. In at least one embodiment, the cut-away section may include a completely penetrated cut-away section disposed between and not at all the cut section. That is, the cut-out portion may be similar to the perforation. The cut section may be of sufficient length to separate the key network tape 100 along the longitudinal cuts 108 with an appropriate force. The cutting section may be between 0.06 mm and 0.1 mm length. By way of example, the cutting section may be about 0.08 mm long.

Additionally or alternatively, the longitudinal cuts 108 may be formed using ceramic blades or laser cuts that cut through a portion of the fibers to allow the user to separate the longitudinal cuts 108 by application of a separation force have. Additionally or alternatively, the longitudinal cuts 108 can be formed through the entirety of the keying oligo tape 100 and then "resealed" using an adhesive. Additional information regarding the manufacture of the longitudinal cuts 108 may be found in the above-referenced co-pending U. S. Patent Application Serial No. < RTI ID = 0.0 > entitled " ___, ___ are provided in the issue.

One of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that the keying strip tape 100 may include more than one longitudinal cuts 108. In particular, the keying strip tape 100 may include as many longitudinal cuts 108 as is necessary to perform the desired function. For example, if the key network tape 100 is used to treat a bruise, the key network tape 100 may include three, four, five, or more longitudinal cuts 108. The longitudinal cuts 108 may allow for a large number of tails that can be used to treat the contusion.

Figure 1 further shows that the keying oligo tape 100 may include a rounded inner edge 110. In at least one embodiment, the rounded inner edge 110 may remove sharp edges that may pierce the user or otherwise cause discomfort to the user. By way of example, during application, the user may divide the keynetwork tape 100 along the longitudinal cuts 108. This can expose the inner edge 110. By rounding the inner edge 110, it can be ensured that the key network tape 100 does not have a sharp edge during application and after the user moves after application.

Figure 1 also shows that the key network tape 100 may include a logo 112. In at least one embodiment, the logo 112 may be used to identify the first end 104a. In particular, the presence of the logo 112 on the uncut portion of the keying log tape 100 allows the user to quickly identify the first end 104a. This may help the user to arrange the keynetwork tape 100. In particular, the user can accurately visually identify the first end 104a and the second end 104b, which can assist in the placement as described below. Additionally or alternatively, the logo 112 may comprise a reflective dye. In at least one embodiment, the reflective dye can reflect light impinging on the logo 112. The reflective logo 112 may increase the safety of the user when in low light or dark conditions.

1 also shows that the key network tape 100 may include a backing 114 disposed below the keying strip tape 100. In at least one embodiment, the backing 114 may be releasably attached to the key network tape 100 by an adhesive layer as described below. In particular, the backing material 114 may comprise paper or any material suitable for preventing the adhesive on the key network tape 100 from drying prior to use. As an example, backsheet 114 may comprise waxed paper to prevent the adhesive from drying or removing.

In at least one embodiment, the backing 114 may be formed as a continuous piece across its width without a longitudinal cut corresponding to the longitudinal cuts 108 of the key network tape 100. In particular, if there is no longitudinal cut in the backing 114, the keying allotment tape 100 may be removed from the backing 114 as a single piece without splitting the keying allotment tape down to the longitudinal cuts 108 . This allows the user to separate the two strips formed by the longitudinal cuts 108 or to leave two strips formed by the adjacent longitudinal cuts 108 according to the purpose of the arrangement. In at least one embodiment, the backing 114 may be disposed on the key network tape 100 before the longitudinal cuts 108 are formed on the key network tape 100. By way of example, the longitudinal cuts 108 can be formed by die cutting through the keying strip 100 to the level of the backing 114 to yield the structure described above.

Figure 1 shows that the backing 114 may include a first perforation 116a and a second perforation 116b (collectively "perforations 116"). By way of example, the perforations 116 may be disposed about two inches from each of the first and second ends 104a, 104b. In at least one embodiment, the perforations 116 may facilitate the incision of the backing material 114 along the perforations 116. Particularly, the perforations 108 are formed in such a manner that a part of the backing material 114 can be removed from the key network sensor tape 100 in a state in which another portion of the backing material 114 remains on the keyness logotype tape 100 do. This facilitates the placement of the key network tape 100 by allowing the user to work with only the desired section of the key network tape 100.

In at least one embodiment, the backing material 114 may be disposed on the key network tape 100 before the perforations 116 are formed in the backing material 114. By way of example, the perforations 116 may be formed by die-cutting through the backing 114 at or near the level of the keying-edge tape 100 to effect the structure described above. Additionally or alternatively, the perforations may be formed in the backing before the keying rigidity tape 100 is placed on the backing 114.

Figure 2 illustrates a roll 200 comprising individual strips of keying oligo tape 100. In at least one embodiment, the roll 200 can be used to conveniently package multiple individual strips of the key network tape 100 so that the user does not need to cut the key network tape 100 . In particular, the roll 200 may include a pre-cut strip of the key network tape 100 so that the user does not need to cut the key network tape 100 in use. Additionally or alternatively, the key network tape 100 may be used as a separate cut sheet or as a separate piece of key network tape 100 on a roll, without the need to cut the key network tape 100, And may be individually packaged in any other form that makes them available.

Figure 2 shows that the roll 200 may comprise a plurality of strips of keying strip tape 100. By way of example, roll 200 may comprise individual strips of keying oligo tape 100 disposed on a single strip of backing material 114. In at least one embodiment, the backing 114 may be torn by the user for removal of a single strip of keying strip 100. Additionally or alternatively, the backing 114 may include a perforation cut across its width between each individual strip of the keying strip tape 100 to provide a stiffener between each individual strip of the key network ribbon 100 114).

In at least one embodiment, the backsheet 114 may be cut or punched between the strips of the key network tape 100 by cutting the backsheet 114 with a suitable die. By way of example, the perforations may be formed by die cutting on the backing 114 prior to placement of the keying and sealing tape 100 on the backing 114, and subsequently the keying oligo tape 100 may be placed and aligned have. Additionally or alternatively, a sheet of large key network tape 100 may be placed on the sheet of large backing 114 and the backing 114 may be cut after placement. As an example, the key network tape 100 may be formed on the backing 114 by arranging suitable layers of various component materials. Additionally or alternatively, the keying strip 100 may be formed and then attached to the backing 114 as described below. The sheet of key chain logotype tape 100 attached to the backing 114 may then be subjected to a series of trims to reach the final product. As an example, the key network tape 100 may be trimmed to a desired width and length as described below and then cut into individual rolls 200.

Figs. 3A and 3B illustrate an adhesive pattern 300 that may be attached to a keyneology tape. FIG. 3A shows an adhesive pattern 300 that is attached to a sheet of kinesthetic tape. Figure 3b shows the adhesive pattern 300 after the keying oligo tape is cut into individual strips. Although described herein as being laminated on a key network tape, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the adhesive may then be applied to the backing, either by affixing the key network tape to the backing or by any other means.

In at least one embodiment, the adhesive may include any adhesive that allows the keying oligo tape to adhere to the user ' s skin without irritating the user ' s skin. In at least one embodiment, the adhesive may allow the kinescoral tape to adhere to the user ' s skin without irritating the user ' s skin. In particular, the major components may comprise a single compound or a mixture of compounds. For example, the major component may comprise polyacrylate. Additionally or alternatively, the adhesive may comprise a solvent that is configured to evaporate or break down after adhesion of the adhesive with the major components remaining. For example, the adhesive may comprise about 50% of the major component with the rest of the adhesive including the solvent. In at least one embodiment, the solvent may comprise ethyl acetate.

Additionally or alternatively, the adhesive may comprise a pressure sensitive adhesive. Pressure sensitive adhesives are adhesives that form bonds when pressure is applied. That is, no solvent, water, activator compound, heat or other activator is required to activate the adhesive. In at least one embodiment, the degree of bonding is affected by the amount of pressure used to apply the adhesive to the surface of the backing. That is, the pressure applied in combination with the key network tape and the backing material after application of the adhesive can be used to activate the adhesive.

3A and 3B illustrate that the adhesive pattern 300 includes a step repetitive pattern. In at least one embodiment, the step repetitive pattern comprises applying the adhesive in a modified sinusoidal pattern. For example, the adhesive pattern 300 comprises a waveform that has been modified such that the top peak includes a higher amplitude, including a steeper peak (as shown in FIG. 3). Additionally, the adhesive pattern 300 includes a bottom peak modified to include a higher absolute amplitude, i.e., a higher amplitude for the base line of the sinusoidal wave (as shown in FIG. 3). In at least one embodiment, the adhesive pattern 300 provides better adhesion to the keying oligo tape. For example, the adhesive pattern 300 may provide an adhesive force even if the keying oligo tape is moved laterally relative to the user ' s skin. In particular, the adhesive pattern 300 can provide resistance to lateral movement of the key network tape in any direction on the user's skin. In at least one embodiment, such a resistor may allow the user to provide a better advantage during use of the key network tape as described above.

In at least one embodiment, the adhesive pattern 300 may be produced using an irregular cam. Further information relating to the use of irregular cams may be found in the above-mentioned co-pending application entitled " Manufacture of Kinesic Lodge Tape "filed on July 21, US Patent Application Number / , .

3A and 3B also illustrate that the adhesive pattern includes a series of adhesive lines 302 that are blocked by the gap 304. In at least one embodiment, the cap 304 may allow the key network tape to include air. That is, the gap 304 may allow air to reach the skin of the user. Additionally or alternatively, the gaps 304 may allow sweat from the user's skin to be moved away from the skin by the key network tape. Removing sweat from the user's skin can prevent the sweat from adversely affecting the adhesion of the kinesicide tape to the user ' s skin.

4 is a flow chart illustrating a key network tape manufacturing method 400. FIG. In at least one embodiment, the key network tape may be a separate strip of key network tape, such as the key network tape 100 of FIGS. 1-3. Thus, the method 400 will be illustratively described with reference to the key network tape 100 of FIGS. 1-3. Even so, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the method 400 may be used to produce a key network tape other than the key network tape 100 of FIGS. 1-3.

As shown in FIG. 4, the method 400 includes applying 405 an adhesive to the backing 114. For example, the adhesive may be applied in a stepwise repeat pattern such as the stepped repeat pattern 300. In at least one embodiment, the adhesive may be applied to a large sheet of backing 114. The backing 114 may protect the adhesive and prevent drying of the solvent until the user is ready to apply the keying adhesive tape 100.

As also shown in FIG. 4, the method 400 includes the step 410 of attaching the backing 114 to the keying strip tape 100. For example, the step 410 of attaching the backsheet 114 to the keying strip 100 may include attaching the strip of the keyseamless tape 100 to the backing 114 after application of the adhesive to the backsheet 114. [ Lt; / RTI > In at least one embodiment, step 410 of affixing the backing material 114 to the keying strip 100 may include attaching the keying oligo tape 100 and the backing material 100 to activate the pressure sensitive adhesive, 0.0 > 114 < / RTI >

As also shown in FIG. 4, the method 400 includes cutting 415 the key network tape 100. In at least one embodiment, cutting 415 the key network tape 100 may include using a die cut, such as a roller die. In at least one embodiment, the die cut can shape and shape the backing 114 attached to the strip and key network tape 100 of the key network tape 100 to any desired shape. Particularly, the die cut can trim the sheet of the keyness allergy tape 100 with the large ribbon of the keyness allergy tape 100, (Not shown). Additionally or alternatively, the die cut may cut or puncture the backing 114 and separate or separate the individual strips of the keying oligo tape 100 as required by the user, as described above, So that only a part of the image can be removed.

As also shown in FIG. 4, the method 400 includes winding 420 the key network tape 100 onto a roll. In at least one embodiment, the backsheet 114 and the sheet of individual strips of the keying strip tape 100 are arranged such that the roll comprises a single strip of backing having an attached number of individual strips of keying logotype tape The backing 114 is subsequently cut and rolled 420 until the roll contains the desired number of individual strips of key network ribbon 100. For example, the rolls may comprise individual strips of any number of key network tapes such as 10, 12, 15 or 20.

In at least one embodiment, the roll may comprise any material strong enough to allow the keying strip 100 to be wound around the roll without damaging the roll. For example, the roll may include a card board, a paper board, or a pleated fiber board. In at least one embodiment, the roll allows the user to easily remove a single strip of key network tape 100 and easily store the remaining strip of key network tape 100 for later use.

As also shown in FIG. 4, the method 400 further includes cutting (step 425) the roll. In at least one embodiment, the rolls may include multiple rows of individual strips of keying-edge tape 100 side-by-side. The roll may then be cut 425 into a narrow roll containing only a single strip of backing 114 with keying oligo tape affixed in a single row for packaging.
