a perspective view of the nasal dilator of fig1 seen from the skin contacting side i e the plane side 19 having applied on the adhesive coatings 20 and 22 the release paper foils 24 and 26 respectively the release paper foil 26 entirely covers the adhesive coating 22 whereas the release paper foil 24 is shown slightly lifted allowing visual inspection of the adhesive coating 20 fig1 is a perspective view similar to the view of fig1 of a nasal dilator 10 34 according to the present invention also produced by punching a profiled plastic band 42 as illustrated in fig9 the nasal dilator 10 34 basically constitutes a structure similar to the structure of fig1 however differing from the structure of fig1 in that the nasal dilator of fig1 is a generally curved structure whereas the nasal dilator of fig1 is a generally plane structure the end parts 14 and 16 of the nasal dilator 10 34 are interconnected through the central part 18 34 which is curved as compared to the substantially planar central part 18 39 of the nasal dilator 10 39 illustrated in fig1 the nasal dilator 10 34 further differs from the nasal dilator 10 39 illustrated in fig1 in that the plane transition areas 17 39 and 18 39 delimited between the straight separation.
