Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kinesiology tape technology, and specifically discloses a reflective kinesiology tape. Background Technology
[0002] Kinesiology tape is primarily developed for treating joint and muscle pain. Unlike sports tape used by athletes, which only provides temporary pain relief and lacks therapeutic effects, kinesiology tape is applied directly to the skin. It can alleviate muscle pain caused by overuse of specific muscles or sports injuries. In cases where training must continue before an injury has fully healed, it can prevent old injuries from worsening and recurring. It offers benefits such as pain relief, improved circulation, reduced swelling, accelerated healing, soft tissue support, soft tissue relaxation, soft tissue training, posture correction, and improvement of incorrect movement patterns. With the flourishing development of culture and sports, kinesiology tape has gained widespread application and has expanded significantly into the medical field.
[0003] Existing kinesiology tapes do not have reflective properties, which poses some safety risks for people exercising at night, threatening their lives and creating significant safety hazards. Furthermore, existing kinesiology tapes lack sufficient elasticity to achieve adequate tension and fail to meet people's needs. Utility Model Content
[0004] This invention proposes a reflective kinesiology patch that improves the safety of nighttime athletes by setting a reflective layer, and enhances the elasticity of the patch by strengthening the elastic layer, providing sufficient tension for use, and has good breathability and sweat absorption.
[0005] This invention is implemented as follows: a reflective kinesiology patch includes a first base layer and a second base layer, a reinforcing elastic layer is disposed between the first base layer and the second base layer, an adhesive layer is disposed on the lower side of the second base layer, a release paper is disposed on the lower side of the adhesive layer, a sweat-absorbing layer is disposed on the upper side of the first base layer, and a reflective layer is disposed on the upper side of the sweat-absorbing layer.
[0006] To enhance elasticity, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the reflective kinesiology patch includes a plurality of transverse elastic strips and a plurality of longitudinal elastic strips.
[0007] To facilitate breathability and sweat absorption, as a preferred embodiment of the reflective kinesiology patch of this invention, the outer walls of the first base layer, the second base layer, and the adhesive layer are all provided with through holes.
[0008] In order to facilitate the increase of elasticity and strength of the first and second base layers, as a preferred embodiment of the reflective kinesiology patch of this utility model, the first and second base layers are preferably made of elastic cotton fabric.
[0009] To facilitate sweat absorption, the sweat-absorbing layer of this reflective kinesiology patch is preferably made of sponge.
[0010] To prevent irritation to human skin, the adhesive layer of this reflective kinesiology patch is preferably made of medical-grade acrylic adhesive.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0012] This reflective kinesiology tape enhances nighttime reflectivity by incorporating a reflective layer on top of the sweat-absorbing layer. This allows drivers and workers operating at night with lights to clearly see the user, ensuring safety for both parties. A reinforcing elastic layer between the first and second layers increases the tape's elasticity, providing sufficient tension. The sweat-absorbing layer effectively absorbs sweat, keeping the user feeling cool and refreshed. Attached Figure Description
