Critical temperature indicator and manufacturing method thereof
An upper section is formed of a base film. A developing media member is formed of a micro-porous film to be positioned correspondingly to the upper section such that the developing media member is joined with the upper section. A time control section is formed by engraving a movement path of developing media on the developing media member by means of a printer, cutter or the like. At least one or more cutaway sections and a plurality of transparent members are positioned on the time control section, wherein the cutaway sections are positioned at both side surfaces of the time control section corresponding to the movement path so as to temporarily store the developing media, and the transparent members have linear-shaped first display windows so as to display the arrival of the developing media, which indicates the end of the movement of the developing media.
1. A critical temperature indicator constituted by an upper section and a lower section formed of a transparent PTP or vinyl coating film as a single body, the critical temperature indicator comprising:
the lower section formed of a base film having an upper surface dyed with red or a predetermined color;
a developing medium member stacked on the lower section, formed of a micro-porous film, and configured to absorb a developing material to enable diffusion thereof;
a time control unit printed on the developing medium member in a stamped line or cutout shape using a printer or a cutter, removed to remain a rectangular or circular moving passage only, and in which the developing material moves through the moving passage only as a time elapses;
transparent members sequentially stacked on the developing medium member, and having cutout sections corresponding to both side surfaces of the moving passage and cut out to temporarily store the developing material, and a first display window having a straight shape through which movement of the developing material from the moving passage to a center thereof is able to be seen; and
the upper section having a second display window formed at a position corresponding to the first display window and a forming section having a spherical shape with a predetermined size and configured to accommodate a developing material member in which the developing material is accommodated, and formed of an opaque layer,
wherein the upper section in which the developing material member is integrally sealed with the lower section, the developing medium member, the transparent members and the forming section.
2. The critical temperature indicator according to claim 1 , wherein the time control unit is a straight strip type, a circular type, a rectangular type, or a concentric type configured to enable time measurement, and at least one actuation starting point of the developing material with respect to exposure to the critical temperature is designated, and one termination point is designated, enabling recognition of an accurate time lapse profile.
3. The critical temperature indicator according to claim 1 , wherein the transparent members are formed by applying at least one of UV, varnishing coating and silk printing.
4. A method of manufacturing a critical temperature indicator, the method comprising:
preparing a developing material member by accommodating a developing material in a cylindrical sealing material;
attaching a base sheet formed of lower sections of a plurality of base films having upper surfaces dyed with red and a developing medium sheet formed of a plurality of developing medium members formed of micro-porous films;
forming a moving passage of the developing medium, which is a time control unit, at an upper section of the attached developing medium sheet;
preparing transparent sheets formed of one or more cutout sections corresponding to a position of the moving passage and configured to temporarily store the developing material at both side surfaces or a predetermined area to pass therethrough, and a plurality of transparent members including a first display window having a straight shape and through which a movement termination of the developing material is able to be seen;
preparing an upper sheet formed of a second display window formed at a position corresponding to the first display window and a plurality of upper films having a forming section configured to accommodate the developing material member; and
stacking, sealing and integrating the transparent members and the upper sheet on the developing medium sheet including the base sheet and the temperature control unit, which are already stacked.
5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the transparent members including the cutout section disposed to corresponding to a third display window through which actuation of the developing material is checked and a display window disposed to correspond to a second display window through which arrival of the developing material is checked are formed using UV or a silk printer, and the third display window and the second display window are formed on the transparent members through printing.
