DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cuff for a sphygmomanometer, which is used for measuring blood pressure by, for example, wrapping around an upper arm and pressing the upper arm.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as such a cuff for a blood pressure monitor,
This is as shown in FIG. 6 (schematic perspective view). The cuff for a sphygmomanometer includes a band-shaped cloth 10 having an air bag therein, a ring 20 attached to one end 11 of the band-shaped cloth 10 and folded back through the other end 12 of the band-shaped cloth 10, and a band-shaped cloth 10. Drop-off preventing portion 70 for preventing the other end 12 of the belt 10 from falling off the ring 20, and the surface 1 of the band-like cloth 10.
It has a hook-and-loop fastener 30 attached to the side 0a and a brush-like portion (here, the entire surface 10a is a brush-like portion) detachable from the hook-and-loop fastener 30.

In this cuff, the falling-off preventing portion 70 is formed by folding the other end of the band-shaped cloth 10 and fixing it in a V-shape. The hook-and-loop fastener 30 is provided near the falling-off preventing portion 70. There is also a cuff as shown in FIG. In this cuff, the falling-off preventing portion 80 provided on the other end 12 of the belt-like cloth 10 is formed by folding the other end and sandwiching, for example, an elastic tube 81 and sewing.

The cuffs shown in FIGS. 6 and 8 have a sphygmomanometer main body directly attached or connected via a tube.
And fold it back with the ring 20 to make the hook-and-loop fastener 30
Is engaged with the raised portion 10a and fixed. Then, air is supplied from the sphygmomanometer body to the air bag in the cuff,
The upper arm is pressed.

[0005]

The conventional cuff has a diameter larger than the thickness of the upper arm and is wound through the upper arm. When the arm is passed through the cuff, the cuff naturally falls off as shown in FIG. The diameter increases until the prevention portion 70 is hooked on the ring 20. For this reason, the initial diameter becomes unnecessarily large, and the other end 12 of the band-shaped cloth 10 must be pulled a lot until it is wrapped around the upper arm, which makes it difficult to attach the upper cloth to the upper arm. In addition, when the other end 12 is pulled, the cuff is likely to rotate along the upper arm, and may be fixed in a misaligned state. Such a problem becomes remarkable especially in the case of a person with thin arms, and the same applies to the cuff in FIG.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made in view of such a problem, and provides a cuff for a sphygmomanometer which can be easily mounted on a living body part without causing displacement during winding. With the goal.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above object, a cuff for a sphygmomanometer according to claim 1 of the present invention is provided with a band having a fluid bag therein, and attached to one end of the band. A ring for folding back through the other end of the band,
A strip-shaped prevention part for preventing the other end of the band from falling off the ring, a hook-and-loop fastener attached to the front side of the strip and a brush-like part detachable from the hook-and-loop fastener; The drop-off prevention portion is provided at a sufficient distance from the other end of the belt-shaped body at least to provide the hook-and-loop fastener or the raised portion.

In this cuff, a drop-off prevention portion is provided on one end side (ring side) of the belt-like body as compared with the conventional cuff. For this reason, when the diameter of the cuff becomes an appropriate size, the falling-off preventing portion is caught by the ring, and the diameter does not become larger than necessary as in the conventional cuff. Therefore, the length of pulling the other end of the band-shaped body can be shortened, and the cuff can be easily attached to the living body part without causing displacement.

Since there is an appropriate space between the falling-off preventing portion and the other end of the band, a hook-and-loop fastener or a raised portion may be provided in the space. Specifically, the hook-and-loop fastener is provided between the drop-off preventing portion and the other end of the belt, and the raised portion is provided at one end of the belt-like body from the drop-off preventing portion, or vice versa. It is provided on one end side of the band-shaped body, and the raised portion is provided between the falling-off preventing portion and the other end side of the band-shaped body.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, the present invention will be described based on embodiments. FIG. 1 is a development view of a cuff for a sphygmomanometer according to the embodiment, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view thereof. This cuff is
Band-like cloth (band-like body) 10 containing an air bag (fluid bag) inside
And a ring 20 attached to one end 11 of the band-shaped cloth 10 and folded back through the other end 12 of the band-shaped cloth 10.
A drop-off preventing portion 40 for preventing the other end 12 of the band-shaped cloth 10 from falling off the ring 20;
The surface fastener 30 includes a hook-and-loop fastener 30 attached to the surface 10a side of the “0” and a raised portion (here, the entire surface 10a) detachable from the hook-and-loop fastener 30.

The feature of this cuff is that
However, a point is provided at a sufficient interval to provide at least the hook-and-loop fastener 30 or the raised portion 10a (here, the raised portion 10a) from the other end 12 of the belt-shaped cloth 10.
In this embodiment, the drop-out preventing portion 40 is formed by placing an elastic tube 41 in the belt-like cloth 10 and sewing the both sides so that it does not move. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3 (enlarged cross-sectional view of a main part), the band-shaped cloth 10 is composed of a back cloth 15 and a front cloth 16, and the tube 41 is sandwiched between the two cloths 15 and 16, and the tube 41 moves. Not to tube 4
Both cloths 15 and 16 are sewn on both sides of 1. The tube 41 has an outer diameter equal to or greater than the opening width in the transverse direction of the ring 20, so that the falling-off preventing portion 40 does not easily come off the ring 20.

Instead of suturing the two cloths 15, 16, they may be welded. Alternatively, cloth may be bundled instead of the tube 41, or an elastic body may be integrally formed. In this cuff, there is an appropriate space 18 between the falling-off preventing portion 40 and the other end 12 of the band-shaped cloth 10, but in this embodiment, the entire surface 10a of the band-shaped cloth 10 including the space 18 becomes a raised part. Has become. This raised part 10
The hook-and-loop fastener 30 which can be disengaged from the
Rather than the one end 11 (ring 20 side).
Further, in this cuff, a fixture 60 for detachably attaching the sphygmomanometer main body is attached between one end 11 of the band-shaped cloth 10 and the hook-and-loop fastener 30.

According to this cuff, since there is an appropriate space 18 between the falling-off preventing portion 40 and the other end 12 of the belt-shaped cloth 10, even if the diameter increases until the falling-off preventing portion 40 is caught by the ring 20, it is necessary. It does not spread too much. For this reason, the length of pulling the other end 12 of the belt-like cloth 10 is not so long, and the belt-like cloth 10
Is easily engaged with the hook-and-loop fastener 30. In addition, in a state in which the fall-off preventing portion 40 is hooked on the ring 20, the cuff is in proper contact with the arm, so that the other end 1
The cuff does not rotate around the arm when pulling 2
There is no misalignment in which the 0 position faces sideways or downward.

In the cuff of the above embodiment, the hook-and-loop fastener 30 is located at one end 11 of the band-like cloth 10 rather than the drop-off preventing portion 40. However, as shown in FIG.
A hook-and-loop fastener 30 may be attached to the space 18 between the belt-like cloth 10 and the other end 12. Of course, if the hook-and-loop fastener 30 'is attached at the position indicated by the two-dot chain line, the configuration is the same as that of the above embodiment. Further, the raised portion does not need to be the entire surface 10a of the band-shaped cloth 10, but may be provided only on the minimum necessary portion where the cuff can be fixed by engagement with the hook-and-loop fastener 30. However, in practice, it is more convenient for the entire surface 10a to be a raised portion for ease of manufacture.

The cuff falling-off prevention portion 40 is formed of a band-shaped cloth 1.
FIG. 5 shows another embodiment in which the tube 41 is sandwiched between the two tubes. In the cuff of FIG. 5, the falling-off preventing portion 50 is formed by sewing a piece of cloth on the belt-like cloth 10 and starting up. Also in the drop-off preventing portion 50, the cloth piece 50 is hooked on the ring 20, so that the other end 12 of the band-shaped cloth 10 is prevented from falling off.

[0016]

As described above, the cuff for a sphygmomanometer according to the present invention has the cuff diameter smaller than that of the conventional cuff because the cuff diameter is provided on one end side (ring side) of the band-like body. When the size becomes appropriate, the falling-off preventing portion is caught on the ring, and the diameter does not become larger than necessary unlike a conventional cuff. Therefore, the length of pulling the other end of the band-shaped body can be shortened, and the cuff can be easily attached to the living body part without causing displacement.
