Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a skin irritation tape that is applied to the surface of the skin to stimulate the skin. [Background technology]

[0002] Various types of skin irritation tapes have been proposed so far.

[0003] For example, Non-Patent Document 1 discloses a skin irritation tape formed in a star shape with multiple protrusions. [Prior art documents] [Non-patent literature]

[0004] [Non-Patent Document 1] Product name "Stella Tape" website: https: / / www.stellatape.com / Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] However, this skin stimulation tape is formed in a uniform shape with the same length from the center of the star to the tip of the protrusion, so not only does the user's skin become accustomed to the stimulation of the tape and its effectiveness may decrease over time, but the shape is monotonous and does not provide any visual stimulation.

[0006] The present invention was made based on the above circumstances, and its purpose is to provide a skin stimulation tape that generates different tensions from multiple directions when it comes into contact with the skin, thereby providing continuous and effective stimulation without the user becoming accustomed to the stimulation. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] In order to solve the above problems, the skin stimulating tape of the present invention is formed in a star shape having a polygonal portion and multiple protrusions extending from this polygonal portion, and is characterized in that the lengths from the center of the polygonal portion to the tips of the multiple protrusions are set to unequal lengths. [Effects of the Invention]

[0008] The skin stimulation tape of the present invention generates different tensions from multiple directions when it comes into contact with the skin, providing continuous and effective stimulation without the user becoming accustomed to the stimulation. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0009] The drawings illustrate particular embodiments of the present invention, including essential features of the invention as well as alternative and preferred embodiments. [Figure 1] 1 is a conceptual diagram showing a skin irritation tape according to one embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 2] FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing the configuration of the skin irritation tape in detail. [Figure 3] FIG. 10 is an explanatory diagram showing a modified example of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0010] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0011] In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a skin irritation tape according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0012] This skin stimulating tape 1 is formed in a star shape having a regular pentagonal portion (polygonal portion) 2 defined in the center and five protrusions 4 extending from five sides 3 of this regular pentagonal portion 2, and the regular pentagonal portion 2 and the protrusions 4 are formed integrally.

[0013] The tip 5 of this protrusion 4 is formed to have a rounded shape, and the angle of the valley 6 between adjacent protrusions 4 is formed to be an obtuse angle.

[0014] As shown in FIG. 2, in this skin irritation tape 1, the lengths from the center 7 of the regular pentagonal portion 2 to the tips of the plurality of protrusions 4 are set to be unequal lengths. That is, the lengths from the center 7 of the regular pentagonal portion 2 to the tips 5 of the five protrusions 4 are set to a ratio of different prime numbers, for example, 101:109:113:107:103.

[0015] Furthermore, each protrusion 4 has a pair of side edges 8 extending from the valley 6 toward the tip 5 and a head 9 connected to the pair of side edges 8 .

[0016] The tips 5 of the protrusions 4 are determined by drawing perpendicular lines 10 from the center 7 of the regular pentagonal part 2 to each side 3, and the lengths of these perpendicular lines 10 are determined by the ratio of different prime numbers.

[0017] The head 9 of the projection 4 is formed by a part of a circle 13 having a predetermined radius, with its center 11 on the perpendicular line 10 and its circumference 12 passing through the tip 5 .

[0018] Furthermore, the side portion 8 is formed by connecting the valley 6 with a tangent line 14 that is tangent to the circle 13 .

[0019] According to the above configuration, the lengths of the protrusions 4 from the center 7 are unequal, so when the skin stimulation tape 1 is applied to the skin, the skin is pulled with different tensions and angles from each protrusion 4, ensuring stimulation from multiple directions.

[0020] That is, when the skin stimulating tape 1 comes into contact with the skin, it generates different tensions from multiple directions, and can provide continuous and effective stimulation without the user becoming accustomed to the stimulation.

[0021] Therefore, it can prevent the sensory receptors in the skin from becoming oversensitive to unidirectional stimulation, and promote improved blood circulation, pain relief, and muscle relaxation.

[0022] Moreover, the lengths of the protrusions 4 from the center 7 are set to ratios of different prime numbers, for example, 101:109:113:107:103, so that different tensions can be reliably obtained from the protrusions 4.

[0023] Furthermore, the shape is not monotonous, so it can also provide visual stimulation.

[0024] Although the valleys 6 are formed in an obtuse angled shape, they may be formed in a curved shape.

[0025] Furthermore, although the tip 5 of the protrusion 4 has a rounded shape in the above embodiment, it may also be formed into an acute-angled shape.

[0026] <Modification> In the above embodiment of the skin stimulation tape 1, the lengths from the center 7 of the regular pentagonal portion 2 to the tips 5 of the five protrusions 4 were set to a prime number ratio of, for example, 101:109:113:107:103. However, in this modified example, as shown in Figure 3, the lengths are set to a prime number ratio of, for example, 101:107:113:131:103, making the difference in length from the center 7 of the protrusions 4 greater than in the above embodiment.

[0027] This allows for a greater variety of stimulations to be provided.

[0028] The disclosure of the present invention described above can be summarized at least as follows.

[0029] In other words, the skin stimulating tape of the present invention is formed in a star shape having a polygonal portion and multiple protrusions extending from this polygonal portion, and is characterized in that the lengths from the center of the polygonal portion to the tips of the multiple protrusions are set to unequal lengths.

[0030] The present invention can include at least the following embodiments, which can be adopted separately or in combination with each other.

[0031] (1) It is preferable that the length from the center of the polygonal portion to the tips of the plurality of protrusions be set to a ratio of prime numbers.

[0032] (2) The polygonal portion is preferably configured as a regular pentagonal portion, and the lengths from the center of this regular pentagonal portion to the tips of the multiple protrusions are preferably set to a ratio of 101, 109, 113, 107, 103.

[0033] (3) The tip of the protrusion is preferably rounded.

[0034] (4) It is preferable that the valley portion of the star shape is formed at an obtuse angle. [Explanation of symbols]
