Universalband

The invention concerns an innovation for the sectors:
bandages, adhesive tapes and similar or for generation of energy.

The task of the invention is to create a novel, reliable development for bandages, adhesive tapes and environmentally compatible generation of energy, which was not possible by means of the current use of insufficient technical solutions. The universal tape is fitted with adhesive connections on the respective longitudinal sides. By spirally wrapping the object, the invention works similar to an adhesive or velcro zipper.

The materials of the universal tape include all materials with flexible and/or elastic characteristics.
The universal tape may be filled up with a gaseous or liquid medium, and these have properties with respect to cooling or heating.
The tape surface may be fitted with upholstering elements on the inside or outside to render the universal tape impact resistant, puncture resistant or explosion resistant. The universal tape may be fitted with solar cells and the corresponding electrical terminals on its tape surface. Due to this, the universal tape turns into a solar generator tape for energy generation.
The invention has been deliberately kept simple and usable by anybody, and it is suited for the following
 
application areas:
1. in the medical sector as support bandage, plaster cast, compressing bandage, self-supporting emergency plaster cast, for instance for provision of first aid.
2. in use for all known sports, the tape as protective bandage is a 360 degree comprehensive protection against injury
3. in use for construction of provisional water pipes for the need of campers or the military.
4.  in use with surface armor, the tape offers protection from cutting weapons and stabbing weapons, firearms or explosions (mines).
5.  in use as bandage for arms and legs, the tape is work protection at work or at home.
6. in use with corresponding armor, the tape offers protection against animal bite by dogs, alligatos, sharks and snakes or against pinching.
7.  during use, if filled up with cold or hot water, the tape works like a wrappable thermos bottle.
8.  in use filled with a gaseous medium, the tape is a swimming assistance for children or protection for shipwrecked persons.
9.  in use as heating tape or cooling tape (compress), the tape is a therapeudic means against rheumatism or disturbance of the blood supply.
10.  in use as tape for wrapping cables, it offers protection against rat bite.
11.  in use in packaging, the tape is reusable.
12.  in use with animals, the tape is leg protection for horses and dogs.
13.  in use as solar generator tape, the tape generates electricity.
14.  in use as solar generator tape with battery connection, the tape is suitable for operation of all electrical computers and similar.

The simple method of manufacture of the universal tape with corresponding modifications includes about 1,500 applications.
Due to the construction-set design of the universal tape, a price advantage is achieved which is hard to beat, especially since the type is reusable for most areas of application


ill. 1

ill. 1
shows a universal tape as self-supporting emergency plaster casing for first aid. In all three illustration, a Iap-formed longitudinal edge is visible on the tape and this ensures uniform or non-uniform wrapping for each object ill. 2
shows a universal tape as solar generator tape with solar cells on the tape surface as well as the electrical connections for operation of a mobile telephone.
