Abstract

A wristband configured adhering rear surface portions of band base material to each other. The present wristband is characterized in that, when winding the wristband on a portion on which the wristband is to be wound. The rear surface of a first winding region ( 6 ) having an exposed adhesive layer ( 3 ), and the rear surface of a second winding region are adhered to each other such that a first adhesion position guide ( 18, 19 A) and a second adhesion position guide ( 19 ) are aligned with each other while a (second adhesion region ( 23 )) of the adhesive layer ( 3 ) is left so that the portion can be exposed, whereby the wristband can be formed in a ring shape and wound on the portion on which the wristband is to be wound. The first winding region ( 6 ), which has the adhesive layer ( 3 ) having the portion so that the portion can be exposed, can be adhered to the front surface of the second winding region ( 7 ). A strip of the wristbands separated by base material separation lines and a mount over the adhesive layer with mount separation lines not at the base separation lines, allowing parts of the mount to be removed.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A method for winding a belt-shaped band around a subject, comprising:
putting together first and second adhesion position guides that are respectively provided at opposing first and second portions located in a longitudinal direction of the belt-shaped band such that the second portion of the belt-shaped band adheres to a region of an exposed part of an adhesive layer located on a rear surface of the first portion of the belt-shaped band, the region of the exposed part of the adhesive layer being defined by the first adhesion position guide; and affixing a remaining exposed part of the adhesive layer to a front surface of the belt-shaped band.

2 . The method according to claim 1 ,
wherein a diameter of the belt-shaped band is selectively adjusted by affixing the remaining exposed part of the adhesive layer to an arbitrary position of the front surface of the belt-shaped band.

3 . The method according to claim 1 ,
wherein a substantially maximum diameter of the belt-shaped band is obtained when putting together the first and second adhesion position guides such that the second portion of the belt-shaped band adheres to the region of the exposed part of the adhesive layer defined by the first adhesion position guide.

4 . The method according to claim 1 ,
wherein a surface area of the remaining exposed part of the adhesive layer is larger than a surface area of the region of the exposed part of the adhesive layer defined by the first adhesion position guide.

5 . A belt-shaped band, comprising:
first and second adhesion position guides that are respectively provided at opposing first and second portions located in a longitudinal direction of the belt-shaped band; and an adhesion region located on a part of a rear surface of the first portion of the belt-shaped band, wherein the first and second adhesion position guides are configured and dimensioned such that a part of the adhesion region remains exposed when the first and second adhesion position guides are put together.

6 . The belt-shaped band according to claim 5 , further comprising:
a band base having an adhesive layer; and a mount adhesively attached to the adhesive layer.

7 . The belt-shaped band according to claim 6 ,
wherein the adhesion region is a region of the adhesive layer that is not covered by the mount.

8 . The belt-shaped band according to claim 6 ,
wherein the first adhesion position guide is provided on the band base.

9 . The belt-shaped band according to claim 6 ,
wherein the second adhesion position guide is provided on the mount.

10 . The belt-shaped band according to claim 6 ,
wherein the first adhesion position guide is provided on the band base, and the second adhesion position guide is provided on the mount.

11 . The belt-shaped band according to claim 6 ,
wherein the first and second adhesion position guides are configured and dimensioned such that a diameter of the belt-shaped band wound around a subject is selectively adjustable by affixing a remaining exposed part of the adhesive layer to an arbitrary position on the front surface of the belt-shaped band.

12 . The belt-shaped band according to claim 5 ,
wherein at least one of the first adhesion position guide and the second adhesion position guide is printed on the belt-shaped band.

13 . The belt-shaped band according to claim 5 ,
wherein at least one of the first adhesion position guide and the second adhesion position guide is a predetermined shape located on the belt-shaped band.

14 . The belt-shaped band according to claim 5 ,
further comprising a plurality of perforations in a width direction across the belt-shaped band.

15 . The belt-shaped band according to claim 5 ,
wherein the first and second adhesion position guides are configured and dimensioned such that a substantially maximum diameter of the belt-shaped band is obtained when the first and second adhesion position guides are put together.

16 . The belt-shaped band according to claim 5 ,
wherein the first and second adhesion position guides are configured and dimensioned such that a surface area of the remaining exposed part of the adhesion region is larger than a surface area of a part of the adhesion region to which the rear surface of the second portion is affixed when the first and second adhesion position guides are put together.

17 . A method for winding a belt-shaped band around a subject, comprising:
defining a remaining exposed part of an exposed adhesive layer located on a rear surface of a first portion of a belt-shaped band by adhering a rear surface of a second portion of the belt-shaped band to the exposed adhesive layer; and adjusting a diameter of the belt-shaped band by selectively affixing the remaining exposed part of the exposed adhesive layer to an arbitrary position on a front surface of the belt-shaped band.

18 . The method according to claim 17 , further comprising:
using a second adhesion position guide provided at the second portion of the belt-shaped band to define the remaining exposed part of the exposed adhesive layer when the rear surfaces of the first and second portions of the belt-shaped band are adhered together.

19 . The method according to claim 17 , further comprising:
using first and second adhesion position guides located at the first and second portions of the belt-shaped band respectively to define the remaining exposed part of the exposed adhesive layer when the rear surfaces of the first and second portions of the belt-shaped band are adhered together.

20 . The method according to claim 17 ,
wherein a substantially maximum diameter is obtained when the rear surface of the second portion of the belt-shaped band is adhered to the exposed adhesive layer.

21 . The method according to claim 17 ,
wherein the rear surface of the second portion of the belt-shaped band is adhered to the exposed adhesive layer such that the remaining exposed part of the exposed adhesive layer has a relatively larger surface area than a region of the exposed adhesive layer to which the rear surface of the second portion of the belt-shaped band is adhered.

22 . A band comprising:
a belt-shaped body having opposing first and second portions in a longitudinal direction; and an adhesive layer located on a rear surface of the first portion of the belt-shaped body, wherein a part of the adhesive layer is configured to remain exposed when a rear surface of the second portion of the belt-shaped body is adhered to the adhesive layer such that the remaining exposed part of the adhesive layer is selectively adherable to an arbitrary position on a front surface of the belt-shaped body so that a diameter of the band is adjustable.

23 . The band according to claim 22 , further comprising:
a first adhesion position guide provided at the first portion of the belt-shaped body, wherein the first adhesion position guide is configured to define the remaining exposed part of the adhesive layer when the rear surface of the second portion of the belt-shaped body is adhered to the adhesive layer.

24 . The band according to claim 22 , further comprising:
a second adhesion position guide provided at the second portion of the belt-shaped body, wherein the second adhesion position guide is configured to define the remaining exposed part of the adhesive layer when the rear surface of the second portion of the belt-shaped body is adh
