Description

The present invention relates to a sphygmomanometer cuff that is mounted on the upper arm of a body and measures blood pressure, and more particularly to a sphygmomanometer cuff in which a sphygmomanometer that displays a blood pressure measurement result can be attached at a more easily recognizable position.

  In general, as shown in FIG. 7, a sphygmomanometer measuring apparatus for measuring the blood pressure of the upper arm includes a sphygmomanometer cuff 1 (hereinafter simply referred to as a cuff) that is wound around the upper arm.

The cuff 1 is equipped with a compression fluid bag 4 (hereinafter simply referred to as a fluid bag) to which a fluid such as air is supplied from an air balloon 2 through a flexible tube 3, and the fluid bag 4 is attached to the upper arm. And a belt-like mounting band 5 for the purpose. An inner bag 7 is formed in the mounting band 5 on the right side of the drawing from the center line 6 of the mounting band 5, and the above-described planar rectangular fluid bag 4 is accommodated in the inner bag 7.

The above-described fluid bag 4 is made of natural rubber, soft vinyl chloride, or the like, and the attachment band 5 is made of cotton, polyester, nylon, or the like.

Further, in the mounting band 5 constituting the cuff 1, the surface 8 on the right side of the center line 6 in which the fluid bag 4 is accommodated is composed of a set of two sheets having a bowl-shaped and a pile-shaped surface, and is overlapped. At the same time, one side 9a of a detachable sticking tape 9 (magic tape registered trademark) for winding and fixing the wearing band 5 around the upper arm is stuck. The other 9 b of the adhesive tape 9 is attached to the back surface 10 of the attachment band 5 on the left side of the drawing with respect to the center line 6 and does not contain the fluid bag 4.

The surface 8 of the attachment band 5 located at the center of the fluid bag 4 has an arrow shape at a position where the pressure applied to the fluid bag 4 is most accurately applied to the artery when the attachment band 5 is attached to the upper arm. The arterial label 11 is formed.

On the other hand, in recent years, as a sphygmomanometer that accurately displays the pressure applied to the fluid bag 4, it is a so-called Gaffry that is light and small, yet has a very small number of gears that accurately detect arterial pulse waves, instead of the conventional mercury sphygmomanometer. An aneroid sphygmomanometer 20 is provided.

And it comprises a belt-like loop portion on which a hook (described later) formed on the back surface of the sphygmomanometer 20 can be suspended so that a blood pressure measurer can easily confirm the display value of the light and small sphygmomanometer 20. The first support member 30 is formed immediately above the artery label 11 in the drawing.

  In FIG. 7, reference numeral 21 denotes a flexible tube that connects the fluid bag 4 and the sphygmomanometer 20.

In the sphygmomanometer described above, as shown in the perspective view of FIG. 8, after the hook 21 of the sphygmomanometer 20 is suspended from the first support member 30, the arterial label is attached via a detachable adhesive tape 9. Attaching the wearing band 5 so that 11 is the arterial position of the upper arm 40, and then operating the air supply balloon 2 to pump fluid (air) into the fluid bag 4 to pressurize and depressurize the artery, At this time, the blood pressure measurer checks the display value displayed on the display surface 20a of the sphygmomanometer 20, thereby detecting the pulse wave from the artery and measuring the blood pressure.

  By the way, the length S of the wearing band 5 of the sphygmomanometer cuff 1 shown in FIG. 7 described above is set so that the wearing band 5 can be worn on as many people's upper arms as possible. Therefore, if the length around the arm of the person to be measured is about the average value, the first position corresponding to the position of the artery (arterial label 11) is determined. The display surface 20a of the sphygmomanometer 20 attached to the support member 30 faces the front of the measurer (the measurer above the drawing), so that it is easy to check the display value. If the length around the arm is smaller than the average value, as shown in FIG. 8, the sphygmomanometer 20 is attached in a state of facing sideways. As a result, the display value of the display surface 20a is from the front measurer. There was a difficult point to confirm. Further, if the length of the upper arm 40 around the arm is small like a child, the sphygmomanometer 20 is not only attached to the side as shown in FIG. 9, but also the center of the wearing band 5 shown in FIG. One end 8a of the surface 8 on the left side of the line 6 where the fluid bag 4 is not accommodated covers the surface of the sphygmomanometer 20 as shown in FIG. 9, that is, on the side where the fluid bag 4 is not accommodated. There is also a problem that the surface 8 of the wearing band 5 overlaps the blood pressure monitor 20, and the display surface 20a cannot be confirmed at all.

  In view of the circumstances described above, an object of the present invention is to provide a cuff for a sphygmomanometer that allows a display surface of a sphygmomanometer attached to the cuff to be easily recognized regardless of the length around the upper arm.

  In order to solve the above-described problem, in the present invention, a sphygmomanometer that displays a pressure applied to the compression fluid bag on the inner bag that houses a compression fluid bag to which a fluid such as air is supplied via an air balloon, and a surface thereof A cuff for a sphygmomanometer comprising a belt-like mounting band having a supporting member for supporting the sphygmomanometer, wherein the supporting member for supporting the sphygmomanometer is disposed on the side of the mounting band opposite to the side where the compression fluid bag is accommodated. It is formed on the surface.

  According to the sphygmomanometer cuff according to the present invention described above, the support member for supporting the sphygmomanometer is formed on the surface of the wearing band on the side opposite to the side on which the compression fluid bag is accommodated. When measuring the blood pressure of a person whose arm circumference is smaller than the average value, even if the surface of the wearing band on the side opposite to the side containing the compression fluid bag overlaps, the overlap Since the sphygmomanometer can be supported on the surface of the worn band, it is always possible to attach the display surface of the sphygmomanometer to the measurer side, so that the display surface of the sphygmomanometer is easy on the measurer side Can easily measure blood pressure.

  Hereinafter, one example of a cuff for a blood pressure monitor according to the present invention will be described in detail.
