Abstract

A pressure-sensitive adhesive tape package is described in which while easiness in applying the adhesive tape is pursued, an effect of saving in resources can be obtained. The pressure-sensitive adhesive tape package accommodates an adhesive tape having a support and an adhesive agent layer provided on one surface of the support, and includes a release sheet releasably attached to the adhesive agent layer. Moreover, in the pressure-sensitive adhesive tape package, the release sheet is bent along a predetermined bending line with the adhesive tape, and the adhesive tape is sealed inside of the bent release sheet.

Claims (43)

1. A pressure-sensitive adhesive tape package comprising:

an adhesive tape having a support and an adhesive agent layer provided on one surface of the support;

a release sheet releasably attached to the adhesive agent layer, wherein

the release sheet is bent into a first portion and a second portion along a predetermined first bending line,

the adhesive tape is bent into a first portion and a second portion along a predetermined second bending line such that the adhesive agent layer faces outwardly, wherein

the first portion of the adhesive tape is larger than the second portion of the adhesive tape, and the first portion has an extending portion that extends from the second portion, and

the release sheet has a sealed periphery wherein the bent adhesive tape is sealed inside of the bent release sheet; and

a temporary attaching means is in contact with the adhesive tape and is provided for easily releasing the release sheet from the adhesive agent layer, wherein

the temporary attaching means is provided in at least a part of a portion facing the extending portion in a portion of the release sheet on the second portion side of the adhesive tape.

2. The pressure-sensitive adhesive tape package according to claim 1 , wherein the bent adhesive tape is sealed inside of the bent release sheet in the state where the first bending line and the second bending line are adjacent to each other.

3. The pressure-sensitive adhesive tape package according to claim 1 , wherein

the first portion of the release sheet is substantially in the same shape as that of the second portion of the release sheet,

the first portion and the second portion of the release sheet are superimposed, and

a portion surrounding the adhesive tape in which the first portion and the second portion of the release sheet are superimposed is sealed.

4. The pressure-sensitive adhesive tape package according to claim 3 , wherein at least one projecting point projecting outward is formed in an outer edge of a face-to-face joint portion joining the first portion of the release sheet to the second portion of the release sheet in a face-to-face relationship to seal therebetween.

5. The pressure-sensitive adhesive tape package according to claim 1 , wherein means for reducing an adhesive force that reduces an adhesive force between the adhesive agent layer of the first portion of the adhesive tape and the release sheet is provided on at least a part of the release sheet.

6. The pressure-sensitive adhesive tape package according to claim 5 , wherein the means for reducing an adhesive force is a silicone-treated surface provided on at least a part of a portion of the release sheet that is attached to the adhesive agent layer of the first portion of the adhesive tape.

7. The pressure-sensitive adhesive tape package according to claim 5 , wherein the means for reducing an adhesive force is an embossed surface and/or sanded surface provided on at least a part of the portion of the release sheet that is attached to the adhesive agent layer of the first portion of the adhesive tape.

8. The pressure-sensitive adhesive tape package according to claim 1 , wherein an adhesive force of the support of the adhesive tape to the release sheet through the temporary attaching means is larger than an adhesive force of the adhesive agent layer to the release sheet.

9. The pressure-sensitive adhesive tape package according to claim 1 , wherein the temporary attaching means has adhesiveness to the support of the adhesive tape.

10. The pressure-sensitive adhesive tape package according to claim 1 , wherein the adhesive tape is used for a skin or a mucous membrane.

11. The pressure-sensitive adhesive tape package according to claim 1 , wherein after the release sheet is opened, the adhesive agent layer of the first portion of the adhesive tape is exposed; and the pressure-sensitive adhesive tape can be applied by placing the exposed portion on a portion for application or in the vicinity of the portion for application and then pulling the release sheet in the longitudinal direction thereof and in a direction away from the adhesive tape while the first portion of the release sheet is held.

12. An application method using the pressure-sensitive adhesive tape package according to claim 1 , the method comprising: opening the release sheet, and exposing the adhesive agent layer of the first portion of the adhesive tape; placing the exposed portion on a portion for application or in the vicinity of the portion for application; then, pulling the release sheet in the longitudinal direction thereof and in a direction away from the adhesive tape while the first portion of the release sheet is held, thereby to apply the pressure-sensitive adhesive tape.

13. A pressure-sensitive adhesive tape package comprising:

an adhesive tape having a support and an adhesive agent layer provided on one surface of the support;

a release sheet releasably attached to the adhesive agent layer, wherein

the release sheet is bent into a first portion and a second portion along a predetermined first bending line,

the adhesive tape is bent into a first portion and a second portion along a predetermined second bending line such that the adhesive agent layer faces outwardly, wherein

the first portion of the adhesive tape is substantially in the same shape as that of the second portion of the adhesive tape, and

the release sheet has a sealed periphery wherein the bent adhesive tape is sealed inside of the bent release sheet; and

a temporary attaching means is in contact with the adhesive tape and is provided for easily releasing the release sheet from the adhesive agent layer, wherein

the temporary attaching means is provided between the first portion of the adhesive tape and the second portion of the adhesive tape.

14. The pressure-sensitive adhesive tape package according to claim 13 , wherein an adhesive force of the temporary attaching means is larger than the adhesive force of the adhesive agent layer to the release sheet.

15. The pressure-sensitive adhesive tape package according to claim 13 , wherein the bent adhesive tape is sealed inside of the bent release sheet in the state where the first bending line and the second bending line are adjacent to each other.

16. The pressure-sensitive adhesive tape package according to claim 13 , wherein

the first portion of the release sheet is substantially in the same shape as that of the second portion of the release sheet,

the first portion and the second portion of the release sheet are superimposed, and

a portion surrounding the adhesive tape in which the first portion and the second portion of the release sheet are superimposed is sealed.

17. The pressure-sensitive adhesive tape package according to claim 13 , wherein means for reducing an adhesive force that reduces an adhesive force between the adhesive agent layer of the first portion of the adhesive tape and the release sheet is provided on at least a part of the release sheet.

18. The pressure-sensitive adhesive tape package according to claim 17 , wherein the means for reducing an adhesive force is a silicone-treated surface provided on at least a part of a portion of the release sheet that is attached to the adhesive agent layer of the first portion of the adhesive tape.

19. The pressure-sensitive adhesive tape package according to claim 17 , wherein the means for reducing an adhesive force is an embossed surface and/or sanded surface provided on at least a part of the portion of the release sheet that is attached to the adhesive agent layer of the first portion of the adhesive tape.

20. The pressure-sensitive adhesive tape package according to claim 13 , wherein the adhesive tape is used for a skin or a mucous membrane.

21. The pressure-sensitive adhesive tape package according to claim 13 , wherein after the release sheet is opened, the adhesive agent layer of the first portion of the adhesive tape is exposed; and the pressure-sensitive adhesive tape can be applied by placing the exposed portion on a portion for application or in the vicinity of the portion for application and then pulling the release sheet in the longitudinal direction thereof and in a direction away from the adhesive tape while the first portion of the release sheet is held.
