By passing through the gap of the tunnel-shaped second stop band, the entrance of the pocket is blocked by the auxiliary band so as to prevent the air bag from coming out.

  The invention of claim 10 is the cuff for a blood pressure monitor according to any one of claims 1 to 9, wherein a portion from at least one corner to the side edge on the other end side of the outer bag is oblique. It is characterized by being cut into

  The invention of claim 11 is the cuff for a blood pressure monitor according to any one of claims 1 to 10, wherein the air tube connector is fixed to the air bag on the outer surface of one end side of the outer bag. Is drawn out, and the direction of the tube connection port of the air tube connection connector is set in the longitudinal direction of the outer bag.

According to the first aspect of the present invention, a loop is formed in advance by the auxiliary band and a substantially half of one end of the outer bag, and the outer bag is measured by passing a measured portion such as an upper arm through the loop. It can be temporarily attached to the site, and in this state, the other end side of the outer bag is put on the one end side, and the main attachment is performed by engaging the first surface fastener and the second surface fastener. Therefore, the person to be measured can easily and appropriately attach the cuff to the measurement site in a constant state without any variation, and can contribute to the improvement of the reliability of blood pressure measurement. In this case, since the auxiliary band has flexibility, it does not interfere with the main mounting by covering the other end of the outer bag on the one end. In addition, since it only provides an additional auxiliary band with flexibility, unlike a hard material folding buckle or cuff spring, it does not cause discomfort or pain even when worn for a long time. .

  According to the invention of claim 2, the cuff can be temporarily attached to the measurement site easily by utilizing the stretchability of the auxiliary band.

  According to the invention of claim 3, by changing the engagement position of the auxiliary band, the size of the loop can be adjusted according to the site to be measured, so that more appropriate temporary mounting can be performed.

  According to the invention of claim 4, since the position of the tip of the auxiliary band can be determined using the position of the mark piece as a guide, the size of the loop can always be adjusted appropriately, and stable temporary mounting Can make a state. In addition, if a plurality of mark pieces are provided for each individual person to be measured, convenience can be achieved even when a plurality of persons to be used are used.

  According to the invention of claim 5, since the auxiliary band is a band having a width smaller than the width of the outer bag, the measurement site can be easily passed through the loop. Further, when the other end side of the outer bag is overlapped on the one end side of the outer bag from the upper side of the auxiliary bag, the auxiliary band does not become bulky or obstructive.

  According to the sixth aspect of the present invention, the positioning means can prevent the lateral displacement on the distal end side due to the reduction in the width of the auxiliary band. That is, as the width of the auxiliary band becomes smaller, the degree of freedom of the auxiliary band increases, so that the front end side, which is the free end, is likely to be displaced laterally (in the width direction of the outer bag) when temporarily attached, but there is a positioning means. Can prevent it. Therefore, when passing the site to be measured through the loop made of the auxiliary band, the cuff can be neatly attached without losing the shape of the loop.

  According to the seventh aspect of the present invention, since the positioning means is configured by extending the third surface fastener, the manufacturing cost can be suppressed. Further, not only the front end of the auxiliary band but also the portion closer to the base end can be restrained by the engagement of the hook-and-loop fastener, so that the side of the auxiliary band can be compared with the case where only the front end of the auxiliary band is restrained by the hook-and-loop fastener. A positional deviation in the direction can be prevented more reliably. Therefore, the cuff can be attached in a correct posture without losing the shape of the loop during temporary attachment.

  According to the eighth aspect of the present invention, since the positioning means is constituted by the tunnel-type stop band, the lateral displacement of the front end side of the auxiliary band can be reduced only by passing the front end of the auxiliary band through the gap of the stop band. The cuff can be reliably prevented, and the cuff can be attached in a correct posture without losing the shape of the loop during temporary attachment.

  Also, by passing the tip of the auxiliary band through the gap of the stop band, the tip side of the auxiliary band can be temporarily fixed, so make a large loop at first and pass the part to be measured through the loop. Later, the loop can be tightened by adjusting the locking position of the tip of the auxiliary band. At this time, since the tip of the auxiliary band is prevented from being detached, the loop is not broken, so that the cuff can be temporarily attached securely at an appropriate position. In addition, when removing the cuff, the part to be measured can be removed from the loop while maintaining the loop with the auxiliary band. Is easy to use and easy to use.

  According to the ninth aspect of the present invention, the air bag can be prevented from falling off by passing the base end of the auxiliary band through the gap of the second stop band.

  According to the tenth aspect of the present invention, it is possible to eliminate the protrusion of the corner when the outer bag is wound around the measurement site having a tapered shape (one is thick and the other is thin), and the portion does not become an obstacle. . In other words, when a belt-like outer bag is wrapped around a tapered measurement site such as the upper arm, the end of the winding (the other end side of the outer bag) may protrude outside (thick side). By eliminating the cuff, the wearability of the cuff can be improved.

  According to the invention of claim 11, since the direction of the tube connection port of the air tube connector is directed in the longitudinal direction of the outer bag (cuff winding direction), for example, even when wound on the right arm, it is wound on the left arm. Even in such a case, the air tube can be pulled out to the upper side or the lower side of the arm at the same bending angle (about 90 °), and the left and right can be combined. In addition, when the tube connection port is oriented in the direction in which the air bag is inserted into the outer bag pocket, the air tube connector can be smoothly passed through the outer bag pull-out hole when the air bag is inserted into or removed from the pocket. As a result, the air bag can be easily attached and detached. This is effective because it is necessary to wash the outer bag when used in a blood pressure monitor of a 24-hour measurement type.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a state before use of the cuff of the first embodiment, FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a state in which a loop is formed by locking the tip of the auxiliary band to one end side of the outer bag, and FIG. FIGS. 4A to 4C are schematic views for explaining the cuff mounting procedure, and FIG. 5 shows a mark piece on the first surface fastener on one end side of the outer bag. FIG. 6A is a diagram showing a state when the cuff is attached to the upper arm portion of the left arm, FIG. 6B is a diagram showing the usefulness of the oblique cut portion of the outer bag, and FIG. It is a figure which shows a state when mounting | wearing a cuff with the upper arm part.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, this cuff W applies a compressive force to a measurement site by air pressure introduced from outside into a belt-shaped outer bag 1 having a constant width wound around the measurement site such as an upper arm. The outer bag 1 is made of a cloth material having flexibility (including a sheet-like material having flexibility in addition to a narrow cloth). The cuff W is placed on the first surface fastener 2A provided on the outer surface on the one end 1A side in the length direction of the outer bag 1 (in the direction of arrow X in the figure, also referred to as the winding direction) in FIG. As shown in FIG. 6B, the second surface fasteners 2B provided on the inner surface on the other end 1B side in the length direction of the outer bag 1 are overlapped and the surface fasteners 2A and 2B are engaged with each other. As shown in FIG. 4A, the device is attached to the measurement site M such as the upper arm.

  An oblique cut portion 1 </ b> C that is obliquely cut is provided at a portion from at least one corner on the other end 1 </ b> B side to the side edge of the outer bag 1. For example, when the cuff W is attached to the upper arm portion, the oblique cut portion 1C is desirably provided on the side located on the base side (upper side) of the arm. By having this oblique cut portion 1C, as shown in FIG. 6 (b), it is possible to eliminate the protrusion of the corner portion of the outer bag 1 when the outer bag 1 is wound around the tapered measurement site M, That part will not get in the way. That is, when the belt-shaped outer bag 1 is wound around the measurement site M having a taper shape (a shape where the original side is thick and the tip is tapered) such as the upper arm, the winding end portion (the other end 1B side of the outer bag 1 side) ) May protrude to the outside (thick side) [shaded portion K in FIG. 6B], but by providing the oblique cut portion 1C, the protrusion can be eliminated, and the cuff W can be attached easily. Improvement can be achieved.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, an auxiliary band 10 having a width that is a fraction of the width of the outer bag 1 is provided on the inner surface side of the outer bag 1. The auxiliary band 10 has a base end 10A fixed to an intermediate portion in the width direction of the inner surface of the intermediate portion in the length direction of the outer bag 1 (the arrow Y direction in the figure, which corresponds to the longitudinal direction of the arm to be attached, etc.). The front end 10B is locked to the one end 1A side in the length direction of the outer bag 1 before the other end 1B side of the outer bag 1 is overlapped with the one end 1A side. A loop (see FIG. 2 and FIG. 3) for passing the part to be measured together with approximately half of the one end 1A side in the direction is formed. The auxiliary band 10 has a flexible band shape (made of cloth-like rubber) and has stretchability along the length direction of the outer bag 1.

  A third hook-and-loop fastener 12 that is detachably engaged with the first hook-and-loop fastener 2A on the one end 1A side of the outer bag 1 is provided on the inner surface of the tip 10B of the auxiliary band 10. The tip 10B of the auxiliary band 10 can be locked at an arbitrary position on the surface fastener 2A.

  Further, on the outer surface of the outer bag 1 on the one end 1A side, a first retaining band 14 as a positioning means for determining the position of the auxiliary band 10 on the front end 10B side in the width direction (arrow Y direction) of the outer bag 1 is provided. Is provided. As shown by an arrow E in FIG. 1, the first retaining band 14 has a gap 14A through which the tip 10B of the auxiliary band 10 is passed at the center lower portion, and when the tip 10B of the auxiliary band 10 is passed through the gap 14A. The tip 10B of the auxiliary band 10 is a tunnel type that prevents the auxiliary band 10 from coming off by using the thickness of the third surface fastener 12.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, a pocket 3 for storing the air bag 4 is provided in a substantially half region on the one end 1 </ b> A side of the outer bag 1. The bag 1 is opened in the inner surface of the intermediate portion in the length direction. And the air bag 4 is accommodated in the inside of the pocket 3 by being inserted from the inlet 3A.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the pocket 3 is formed by joining (for example, sewing) the periphery of the outer cloth material 3 </ b> B and the inner cloth material 3 </ b> C, and the base end 10 </ b> A of the auxiliary band 10 is the entrance of the pocket 3. It is fixed to the inner surface of the outer cloth material 3B of the pocket 3 on the back side of 3A. Then, the front end 10B side of the auxiliary band 10 is passed through the gap of the tunnel-shaped second retaining band 7 provided on the inner surface of the inner cloth material 3C of the pocket 3, so that the inlet 3A of the pocket 3 is opened. The air bag 4 is closed to prevent the air bag 4 from coming out. Thereby, the air bag 4 does not come out easily.

  An air tube connector 5 is attached to the end portion of the air bag 4, and the air tube connector 5 is pulled out from a lead hole 9 formed on the outer surface of the outer bag 1 on the one end 1 </ b> A side. ing. In the cuff W of the first embodiment, the tube connection port of the air tube connection connector 5 is in the width direction of the outer bag 1 (arrow Y direction; the direction corresponding to the longitudinal direction of the arm when wrapped around the measurement site). Is set to face.

Next, a case where the cuff W is worn will be described. Here, a case where the measurement site is the upper arm will be described.
At the time of mounting, first, as shown in FIGS. 2, 3, and 4A, the tip 10B of the auxiliary band 10 is passed through the gap 14A of the first retaining band 14, and the one end 1A of the outer bag 1 is inserted. A loop of an appropriate size is formed by the substantially half of the side and the auxiliary band 10. And it positions lightly through the upper arm part which is the to-be-measured site | part M in the loop. At this time, since the auxiliary band 10 has elasticity, the cuff W can be easily positioned at the measurement site M.

  Next, while adjusting the mounting position in the winding direction, the loop is tightened by pulling the auxiliary belt 10 in the winding direction (arrow F direction) as shown in FIG. The third surface fastener 12 is engaged with the first surface fastener 2 </ b> A of the outer bag 1. Thereby, the temporary attachment of the cuff W is completed.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 4C, the other end 1B side of the outer bag 1 is placed on the one end 1A side from above the auxiliary band 10 in this state, and the first surface fastener 2A and the second The hook-and-loop fastener 2B is engaged. As a result, the cuff W can be permanently attached to the upper arm which is the measurement site M.

  In this way, after temporarily mounting using the auxiliary band 10, the outer bag 1 can be permanently mounted, so that the person to be measured can easily and appropriately cuff W in a certain state without variation. It can be attached to the measurement site M and can contribute to the improvement of the reliability of blood pressure measurement.

  In this case, since the auxiliary band 10 has flexibility, it does not interfere with the main mounting by covering the other end 1B side of the outer bag 1 on the one end 1A side. In addition, since a flexible auxiliary band 10 is simply added to a normal cuff, unlike a hard material folding buckle or cuff spring, even when worn for a long time, it feels uncomfortable and painful. Will not occur.

  Further, by passing the tip 10B side of the auxiliary band 10 through the gap 14A of the tunnel-shaped first stop band 14 in advance, it is possible to prevent the tip 10B of the auxiliary band 10 from coming off, so that the loop may collapse. Absent. Therefore, the loop can be tightened through the portion to be measured M into the loop, and the cuff W can be temporarily attached at an appropriate position. In addition, when removing the cuff W, the measurement site M can be removed from the loop while maintaining the loop by the auxiliary band 10, so that the measurement site M can be included in the loop during the next installation. Through temporary installation, it is easy to use.

  Further, since the auxiliary band 10 is a band that is smaller than the width of the outer bag 1, the measurement site M can be easily passed through the loop, and the other end 1 </ b> B side of the outer bag 1 is removed from above the auxiliary band 10. When the bag 1 is overlaid on the one end 1A side, the auxiliary band 10 does not become bulky or obstructive, and wearability is improved.

  In addition, since the size of the loop can be arbitrarily adjusted according to the measurement site M by changing the engagement position of the tip 10A of the auxiliary band 10, more appropriate temporary attachment is possible.

  Further, when the width of the auxiliary band 10 is reduced, the degree of freedom of the auxiliary band 10 is increased, so that the tip end 10B side which is a free end is easily displaced in the lateral direction (width direction of the outer bag 1) when temporarily attached. By passing the tip 10B of the auxiliary band 10 through one stop band 14, it is possible to prevent the lateral displacement of the auxiliary band 10 on the tip 10B side. The cuff W can be mounted neatly without breaking the shape of the loop.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 5, if a mark piece 20 having an appropriate shape that can be detachably engaged with the first surface fastener 2A is provided, the tip of the auxiliary band 10 is determined using the position of the mark piece 20 as a guide. Since the locking position of 10B can be determined, the size of the loop can always be adjusted appropriately, and a certain temporary mounting state can be created. Further, if a plurality of mark pieces 20 are provided for each individual person to be measured, convenience can be achieved even when a plurality of persons to be measured are used.

  By the way, since the cuff W of the first embodiment described above is assumed to be mainly mounted on the upper arm ML of the left arm as shown in FIG. 6A, it is mounted on the upper arm ML of the left arm. In this case, the direction of the tube connection port of the air tube connection connector 5 is upward. As shown in FIG. 7, when the right arm is mounted on the upper arm MR, the tube connection port of the air tube connector 5 is directed downward. Therefore, when attached to the upper arm ML of the left arm, the air tube 5A may be connected to the air tube connector 5 from the upper side without difficulty. When attached to the upper arm MR of the right arm, the air tube 5A may be connected from the lower side. It is only necessary to connect the tube 5A to the air tube connector 5 without difficulty.

  However, in actual use, the air tube 5A may be connected from the upper side or the air tube 5A may be connected from the lower side regardless of whether it is attached to the right arm or the left arm. Therefore, it is desirable to be able to cope with both cases.

  Therefore, in the cuff W2 of the second embodiment shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B, the direction of the tube connection port of the air tube connection connector 5 is directed in the longitudinal direction of the outer bag 1 (arrow X direction). Moreover, the direction of the connection port of the air tube connector 5 is directed in the direction in which the air bag 4 is inserted into the pocket 3 of the outer bag 1 (the direction of the arrow S). With this orientation, when the air bag 4 is inserted into and removed from the pocket 3, the air tube connector 5 can be smoothly passed through the lead-out hole 9 of the outer bag 1. Desorption can be facilitated. When this is used for a blood pressure monitor of a 24-hour measurement type, the necessity of washing the outer bag 1 comes out, so that the effectiveness is exhibited.

  Also, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the direction of the tube connection port of the air tube connector 5 is oriented in the longitudinal direction of the outer bag 1 (arrow X direction, cuff winding direction). The air tube 5A can be pulled out to the upper side or the lower side of the arm at the same bend angle (about 90 °) regardless of whether it is wound on the left arm or the left arm. Can do.

  In the above embodiment, the first retaining band 14 is provided as the positioning means for preventing the lateral displacement of the auxiliary band 10 on the tip 10B side. Instead, the third hook-and-loop fastener is used as the positioning means. 12 may be provided extending from the inner surface of the distal end portion of the auxiliary band 10 to the proximal end side.

  In this way, the manufacturing cost can be reduced as compared with the case where the first stop band 14 is provided. Further, since not only the distal end 10B of the auxiliary band 10 but also the portion closer to the base end 10A side can be restrained by the engagement of the surface fasteners 2A and 12, only the distal end 10B of the auxiliary band 10 is secured by the surface fasteners 2A and 12. Compared to the case of restraining, the lateral displacement of the auxiliary band 10 can be surely prevented. Therefore, the cuff can be attached in a correct posture without losing the shape of the loop during temporary attachment. However, once the hook and loop fasteners 2A and 12 are engaged, it is difficult to easily change the locking position of the tip 10B of the auxiliary band 10 as in the first embodiment.

  The position of the first retaining band 14 may be anywhere as long as it is on the outer surface of the outer bag 1 on the one end 1A side, but somewhat outside the position very close to one end (outermost end) of the outer bag 1. The position closer to the other end 1B of the bag 1 is desirable because the final cuff winding diameter can be reduced.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, the position of the intermediate part of the longitudinal direction of the outer bag 1 to which the base end 10A of the auxiliary | assistant band 10 adheres is set to the substantially half position of the other end 1B from the one end 1A of the outer bag 1. However, it is not necessarily required to be set at a substantially half position, and may be set at an arbitrary position between one end 1A and the other end 1B of the outer bag 1.

  Moreover, although the case where the width | variety of the auxiliary | assistant band 10 was considerably smaller than the width | variety of the outer bag 1 was shown in the said embodiment, the auxiliary | assistant band 10 interferes when covering the other end 1B side of the outer bag 1 on the one end 1A side. If not, the width of the auxiliary band 10 can be arbitrarily set.
