  • Publication number: 20080154169
    Abstract: [Problems to be Solved] To provide a body adhesive tape having an improved breathability and adapted to be applied to a body in such a manner as to lift skin to make it possible to provide stimulus to the body. [Solution Means] A body adhesive tape 1 including at least a stretch base material 12 and an adhesive layer 11 formed on one surface of the base material. In the adhesive layer 11, a plurality of recessed grooves 111 extending in the tape width direction W are arranged at a spacing in the tape longitudinal direction L and there is provided an array configuration composed of pattern arrays G1 in which the length of a group of recessed grooves 111 changes stepwise repeating a gradual increase and decrease in the tape longitudinal direction L.

  • Patent number: 5861348
    Abstract: The present invention provides a body-adhesive tape having adhesive properties preventing the tape from peeling off due to sweat when it is applied in an overlapped manner, and which also has good moisture permeability. In the body-adhesive tape, a base cloth is formed from a stretchable warp thread and a standard weft thread. On one side of the base cloth a plurality of pressure-sensitive adhesive layers are formed separated by appropriate gaps. The pressure-sensitive adhesive layers are formed so that they meander left and right along the length of the tape. At the gaps, the base cloth is exposed so there is permeability. Since the gap meanders, it is longer than the tape, and thus there is more exposure of the weave and more permeability. The pressure-sensitive adhesive layers meander so that the tape can be attached anywhere on the body and can respond to tension due to body movement from any direction.
