Is positioned below the first measure 20 in the height direction of the subject 200 and parallel to the first measure 20 when the subject 200 is placed on the placement unit 10. (That is, the insertion holes 10a to 10e are provided at positions where the second measure 30 is attached in this way).

  Next, the usage method of the body measuring tool 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4.

  FIG. 4 is a side view showing a state in which the first measure of the body measuring instrument according to the first embodiment of the present invention is wound around the head of the person to be measured.

  A person who measures the body of the person 200 to be measured (hereinafter referred to as “measuring person”) first places the body measuring tool 100 on a flat place (a floor, a bed, etc.), and the person to be measured is placed on the placement unit 10. 200 is placed (the person 200 to be measured is placed along the longitudinal direction of the placement unit 10. At this time, the first and second majors (20, 30) are It will be located between the measurer 200 and the placement unit 10). At this time, since the head circumference of the person 200 to be measured is measured using the first measure 20, the back head of the person 200 to be measured is placed near the longitudinal center of the first measure 20. (See FIG. 3).

  In this state, the measurer wraps the first measure 20 around the head of the person 200 to be measured, measures the head circumference of the person 200 to be measured, and then places the second measure 30 on the person to be measured. Wrapping around the chest or abdomen of 200 and measuring the chest circumference or abdominal circumference of the person 200 to be measured (both ends of the first and second measure (20, 30) are lifted, and these are measured on the body of the person 200 to be measured. Wrap around the site (see Figure 4).

  At this time, since the vicinity of the center in the longitudinal direction of the first measure 20 is fixed to the vicinity of the center in the lateral direction on one short side of the placement unit 10, the head circumference of the measurement subject 200 is measured. The position of the first measure 20 does not deviate from the position of the occipital region of the person 200 to be measured.

  In addition, when the person to be measured 200 is placed on the placement unit 10, the second measure 30 is located below the first measure 20 in the height direction of the person 200 to be measured, and the first measure 30 Since it is attached so as to be parallel to the measure 20, if the back of the subject 200 is placed near the center in the longitudinal direction of the first measure 20, the body other than the head of the subject 200 is naturally. (For example, the body part to be measured using the second measure 30 such as the chest).

  At this time, even if the position of the second measure 30 is deviated from the position of the body part other than the head of the person 200 to be measured, the second measure 30 is By being inserted through the insertion holes (10a to 10e) provided on the surface, it can be detachably attached to the mounting portion 10, so that the second measure 30 can be inserted into another insertion hole to correct this. Can be changed to position. For example, when measuring the chest circumference of the person 200 to be measured, if the position of the second measure 30 is shifted from the position of the chest of the person 200 to be measured, the second measure 30 is removed from the insertion hole 10a and the insertion hole 10c. The second measure 30 may be changed to the correct position by reinserting it into (see FIG. 3). Further, when it is desired to measure the abdominal circumference instead of the chest circumference of the person 200 to be measured, the second measure 30 may be removed from the insertion hole 10c and inserted into the insertion hole 10e at the correct position (see FIG. 3). ). Since the second measure 30 is inserted through the insertion holes (10a to 10e), the second measure 30 does not slip down from the placement portion 10.

  Thus, in this invention, the 1st and 2nd measure (20, 30) which consists of string shape is attached to the mounting part 10 which mounts the to-be-measured person 200, and the 2nd measure 30 is the 2nd measure 30. When the person 200 to be measured is placed on the placement unit 10, the person 200 is positioned lower than the first measure 20 in the height direction of the person 200 to be measured and parallel to the first measure 20. Since it is attached, the person 200 to be measured is placed on the placement unit 10, and the first and second measures (20, 30) are wrapped around the body of the person 200 to be measured such as the head circumference and chest circumference. The body of the subject 200 in a lying state can be measured easily and quickly in a single process (especially, the subject 200, such as an infant or a person in a disabled state) has a burden. You can measure your body without spending time).

  When the infant (the person to be measured 200) measures the weight, the infant (the person to be measured 200) is placed on a box-shaped measurement table (a state lying on the measurement table). When the body measuring tool 100 (mounting unit 10) according to the present invention is laid on the measurement table and the infant (measured person 200) is placed on the mounting unit 10, the infant (measured person 200). ) Body weight and body such as head circumference and chest circumference can be measured simultaneously (simple and quick) and safely (in order to measure the body such as head circumference and chest circumference) (Especially effective during mass screening of infants).

  When measuring the body such as the head circumference and chest circumference of the person 200 to be measured using the present invention, the first and second measures (20, 30) are placed on the person 200 to be measured. Since it is located between the placement units 10, it is not necessary to lift up the body such as the head of the person 200 to be measured. Therefore, in the present invention, it is possible to safely measure the body such as the head circumference and chest circumference of the person 200 to be measured.

  Further, according to the present invention, a plurality of insertion holes (10a to 10e) are provided along the height direction of the person 200 to be measured when the person 200 to be measured is placed on the placement part 10, and the second measure 30 is detachably attached to the placement unit 10 by being inserted into insertion holes (10a to 10e) provided on one surface of the placement unit 10, and therefore, in the present invention, The position of the second measure 30 can be changed according to the body type and the body part to be measured. Further, in the present invention, even when the second measure 30 is worn due to a plurality of uses, only this can be replaced.

  In addition, since the configuration of the present invention is simple, it can be easily manufactured without labor and cost.

  In the present embodiment, the body measuring tool 100 (the placement unit 10, the first measure 20, and the second measure 30) is formed with the above dimensions, but depending on the body shape of the person 200 to be measured, etc. These can be formed in other dimensions (larger or smaller). For example, when the body measuring tool 100 is used for an infant, the length of the mounting portion 10 in the longitudinal direction may be approximately 30 cm, and the length in the lateral direction may be approximately 15 cm. Further, when the body measuring tool 100 is used for an adult with a large body, for example, the length in the longitudinal direction of the mounting portion 10 can be formed to be approximately 100 cm and the length in the short direction can be approximately 50 cm. . At this time, the dimensions (lengths in the longitudinal direction and the short direction) of the first and second majors (20, 30) can be appropriately changed according to the dimension of the mounting portion 10. It is.

  Further, in this embodiment, the mounting portion 10 is formed so as to have a rectangular shape in plan view, but the person 200 to be measured can be mounted on the mounting portion 10. For example, it can be formed in another shape such as an elliptical shape.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the mounting portion 10 is formed in a thin piece shape (the thickness of the mounting portion 10 is approximately 0.2 cm), but it is desired to make the mounting portion 10 more stable. If it exists, it can also be formed with a greater thickness. For example, the thickness of the mounting portion 10 can be changed from 1 cm to 5 cm.

  In addition, in the present embodiment, the above example is given as the material of the placement unit 10, the first measure 20, and the second measure 30, but these can be formed of paper, for example. . Thereby, since the body measuring tool 100 can be manufactured at low cost, it can be used as the disposable body measuring tool 100 (the body of the measurement subject 200 infected with an infectious disease is measured). In this case, by using the disposable body measuring tool 100, it is possible to prevent infection to another person under measurement 200).

  In the present embodiment, the vicinity of the center in the longitudinal direction of the first measure 20 is fixed to the vicinity of the center in the lateral direction on one short side of the mounting portion 10, but only the first measure 20 is fixed. If it is desired to have a configuration that can be exchanged (for example, when worn due to multiple use), the first measure 20 can be detachably attached to the mounting portion 10 (mounting portion). 10 is provided with an insertion hole, and the first measure 20 is inserted into the insertion hole, or is detachably attached to the mounting portion 10 with a button fastener or a hook-and-loop fastener. When both the first and second majors (20, 30) can be detachably attached to the placement unit 10, it is possible to replace only the placement unit 10 (for example, the placement unit 10). In the case where the mounting portion 10 is worn due to multiple use).

  In the present embodiment, the second measure 30 is detachably attached to the placement unit 10 by being inserted into insertion holes (10a to 10e) provided on one surface of the placement unit 10. However, by simplifying the configuration of the body measuring tool 100, if it is desired to manufacture this easily (or to reduce the manufacturing cost), an insertion hole (from 10a to the one surface of the mounting portion 10). 10e) may be omitted. In this case, the second measure 30 may be detachably attached to the placement portion 10 with a button fastener or a hook-and-loop fastener. Furthermore, when it is desired to simplify the configuration of the body measuring tool 100, the second measure 30 can be fixed to the placement unit 10 in advance. In this case, if the plurality of second measures 30 are fixed to the placement unit 10 in advance according to the body shape of the person 200 to be measured and the body part to be measured, A part of the body of the person 200 to be measured can be measured.

  Further, in this embodiment, it is assumed that one second measure 30 is used. However, if it is desired to measure the body of the person 200 to be measured more efficiently, a plurality of second measures 30 are simultaneously used. It is preferable to use it (a plurality of second measures 30 are inserted through all the insertion holes (10a to 10e) in advance). Thereby, the several site | part of the to-be-measured person 200 body can be measured safely and simply.

  Further, in this embodiment, the description is made on the assumption that five insertion holes (10a to 10e) are provided, but it goes without saying that the number of insertion holes can be changed as appropriate according to the situation. (It is also possible to provide one to four or six or more insertion holes depending on the situation).

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, the placement unit 10 is configured as described above. However, if it is desired to more efficiently measure the body of the infant (the person to be measured 200), It is preferable to provide a moon age display section (40a to 40d) indicating the age of the infant (the person 200 to be measured) on the surface (see FIG. 5). Thereby, when measuring the body such as the head circumference and chest circumference of the infant (the person to be measured 200), the measurer quickly follows the age display section (40a to 40d) to quickly locate the second measure 30. Since it can be changed to a position corresponding to the age of the infant (the person to be measured 200) (or this position is adjusted in advance), the body of the infant (the person to be measured 200) can be measured more easily and quickly. . At this time, if the age display portion (40a to 40d) is provided in the vicinity of the place where the second measure 30 is attached, the measurer inserts the second measure 30 into the wrong insertion hole. Can be prevented (see FIG. 5).

  Finally, in this embodiment, the insertion holes (10a to 10e) are provided on the same line on one surface of the placement unit 10, but the second measure 30 is measured on the placement unit 10. When the person 200 is placed, if the person 200 is positioned lower than the first measure 20 in the height direction of the person 200 to be measured and is attached so as to be parallel to the first measure 20, the insertion hole It is also possible to provide (10a to 10e) in a different arrangement.

  As shown in FIG. 6, for example, the insertion holes 10a and 10b are on the same line, the insertion hole 10f is on the left side of the straight line connecting the insertion holes 10a and 10b (left side in plan view), and the insertion hole 10g is the insertion holes 10a and 10b. (The four insertion holes (10a, 10b, 10f, and 10g) are placed on one surface of the placement unit 10 of the body measuring tool 100). Provided along the height direction of the person to be measured 200 when the person to be measured 200 is placed on the portion 10).

  As a result, the second measure 30 inserted through the insertion holes 10f and 10g, when the person 200 to be measured is placed on the placement part 10, the body part of the person 200 to be measured that is located on the same line (for example, The insertion holes (10a, 10b, 10f, and 10g) are arranged in this way because they are located below the parts (for example, feet) other than the head, chest, abdomen, etc.) Thus, it is possible to measure a plurality of parts (head, chest, abdomen, legs, etc.) of the body of a larger number of persons 200 to be measured safely and simply. In addition, although the several 2nd measure 30 is used here, of course, this can be comprised only with the 1st 2nd measure 30 (in this case, the to-be-measured person's 200 body shape and measurement previously) The second measure 30 may be attached to the placement unit 10 according to the body part desired).

  Thus, it goes without saying that various modifications can be made in the present embodiment without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
