Description

TECHNICAL AREA

This invention introduces a new and unique adhesive patch shape which is adhered to the heel of the foot. This invention also contains a unique formula with ingredients to soften the skin on the heel of the foot. The unique shape combined with the unique ingredients is designed to effectively fit to and soften the skin on the heel of the foot.

BACKGROUND TECHNOLOGY

Conventional adhesive patch shapes do not fit effectively to the heel of the foot.

DISCLOSURE OF DEVICE

[The Problem that a Device is Going to Solve]

Since the heel of the foot is a unique shape and other adhesive patch shapes cannot form properly to effectively cover and adhere to the heel these conventional patch shapes miss much of the heel area and can more easily come unattached from the heel of the foot. This condition can also cause discomfort to the user from the application and use of conventional shaped patches.

Utilizing the function of a patch to soften the skin on the heel requires a safe and sanitary environment.

[Measures to Solve the Problem]

The proposed adhesive patch shape and design in this document contains a central section to accommodate the center area of the heel. Two elliptical shapes in the form of a tongue of the same size extend top and bottom from the center of the adhesive patch. Two smaller elliptical shapes similar to the former elliptical shapes in the form of a tongue extend from the center left and right. In each place the elliptical shapes join together a small slit provides additional modification for more effective adherence and application to varying heel sizes.

The adhesive of this unique patch shape is loaded with wood vinegar, menthol, and urea. The ingredients in the adhesive provide an environment to safely and sanitarily soften the skin on the heel of the foot.

[Effect of Device]

The unique shape allows the best fit and coverage on the heel of the foot so that more of the heel is effectively covered, the adhesive patch is less likely to come off, and is more comfortable to use.

The ingredients, wood vinegar, menthol, and urea provide and environment to soften the skin on the heel of the foot.

[Best Form in Order to Execute Device]

Please see Reference Photograph 1.

This illustrates how the adhesive patch is applied to the center of the heel of the foot with the larger elliptical shapes to extend up the back of the heel and over the bottom of the foot. The smaller elliptical shapes extend both left and right around the sides of the heel of the foot.

“Effect of Execution Form”

The adhesive patch will cover more of the heel area effectively and less likely to fall off.

BRIEF EXPLANATION OF DRAWINGS

FIG. 1 This illustrates one application of this invention.

EXPLANATION OF MARK

    • (a) Elliptical shape in the form of a tongue.
    • (b) Small slit.

Claims

1. Currently there is only one flat adhesive patch that attaches to the skin of the heel. This is a new design of a patch for placement on the heel containing wood vinegar, menthol, and urea:

The uniqueness of the design is in four half elliptical sections, two that are smaller and two that are larger, that protrude from the center section of the patch.

These elliptical sections are accompanied by slits that allow the design to more effectively cover the heel and remain in place.

The ingredients use the unique combination of wood vinegar, menthol, and urea Thus this new design used as an adhesive patch allows for a more effective and comfortable adherence of the patch to the heel. The new combination of ingredients allows for effective hydration and softening of the skin on the heel of the foot.
