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.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing a conventional cuff for a sphygmomanometer. The cuff for a sphygmomanometer includes a band-shaped cuff 51 having an air bag therein, and an insertion ring 54 attached to a folded portion 53 on one end 52 side of the band-shaped cuff 51.
At the time of use, the insertion portion 56 extending from the other end portion 55 of the band-shaped cuff 51 is inserted into the insertion ring 54 so that the band-shaped cuff 51 can be used.
Is set to be cylindrical. After the arm is inserted into the cylinder 57 of the cylindrical cuff 51 and positioned, the insertion portion 56 inserted through the insertion ring 54 is pulled and tightened. Further, in this state, the surface fastener 56a on the inner surface of the insertion through portion 56 is locked and fixed to the surface fastener 55a on the surface of the other end portion 55 of the cuff.

[0003]

In the above-mentioned cuff for a conventional blood pressure monitor, after the arm is inserted through the cuff, the other end of the cuff inserted through the insertion ring must be pulled outward to tighten the cuff. Further, it is necessary to fix this tightened state with a hook-and-loop fastener. For this reason, the work of attaching and detaching the arm band to the arm is troublesome and difficult, and depending on the degree of cuff tightening, the degree of crimping to the arm is poor, and there are cases in which accurate blood pressure measurement may not be possible. there were.

An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems and to provide a cuff for a sphygmomanometer with good workability in which a cuff can be fastened and fixed with one touch.

[0005]

In order to achieve this object, a blood pressure monitor cuff according to the present invention has the following configuration. The cuff for a sphygmomanometer is formed by folding a curved cuff, an operation plate portion rotatably mounted near one end of the curved cuff, and the other end of the curved cuff. surface
Folds formed by fastening with fasteners
With attached to barb, it is characterized by comprising a disengageably locking has been inserted ring relative locking tool provided on the inner surface of the operation plate portion.

In the sphygmomanometer cuff having such a configuration, the operation plate is normally rotated outward, and the insertion ring attached to the folded portion is engaged with the locking member of the operation plate. Stopped. Therefore, the diameter of the curved cuff is large. When measuring the blood pressure, the arm is inserted through the cylindrical space of the curved cuff having a large diameter. Thereafter, when the operation plate portion is turned down in the direction opposite to the clockwise direction, that is, in the circumferential direction of the cylindrical cuff, the insertion ring is pulled, and the other end (the folded portion side) of the cuff connected to the insertion ring is also pulled. The diameter of the cylindrical cuff shrinks and fits the arm. When the operation plate portion, that is, the insertion ring completely falls down on the surface of the cylindrical cuff, the pulling direction of the insertion ring is applied inward of the cylindrical cuff, and the cylindrical state of the cuff fitted to the arm is fixed. Therefore, attachment and detachment of the cuff to and from the arm can be realized by one-touch operation of the operation plate portion.

[0007]

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a specific embodiment of a cuff for a sphygmomanometer according to the present invention. The cuff for a sphygmomanometer includes a curved cuff 1 and an operation plate 2 attached to the curved cuff 1.
And an insertion ring 3 attached to the folded portion 11 of the curved cuff 1.

The curved cuff 1 has a curler and an air bladder inside (not shown) between the top cloth and the back cloth, and a band-shaped cuff is set in a curved shape by the curler. An air bag 12 inside the cuff 1 communicates with an air tube 12 led out. A narrow flat plate-like mounting plate 13 is fixed to one end surface of the curved cuff 1.
A rod shaft 14 is fixed on 3. An operation plate 2 described later is rotatably attached to the rod shaft 14.

Further, the other end of the curved cuff 1 is a free end in which only the top cloth and the back cloth are superimposed, and no curler and air bag are interposed between the superposed cloths. A hook-and-loop fastener 15 is provided on the surface on the other end side.
5 is provided with a hook-and-loop fastener 11a. The insertion ring 3 is attached to the folded portion 11.

The operation plate portion 2 is a curved flat plate, and bearing portions 21 are provided on both sides of a base end portion.
The operation plate portion 2 is set to be rotatable by fitting both ends of the rod shaft 14 to the bearing portions 21 and 21.
A locking member 22 with which the insertion ring 3 is disengaged is attached to the inner surface of the operation plate portion 2. When the insertion ring 3 is fitted to the locking member 22, the operation plate portion 2 and the insertion ring (returned portion 11) 3 are connected.

In the sphygmomanometer cuff having such a configuration, the operating plate 2 is normally laid down in a clockwise direction and falls down, and the insertion ring 3 of the folded back portion 11 is engaged with the locking member 22. The diameter of the curved cuff 1 is large. When measuring the blood pressure, the length of the folded portion 11 is set in accordance with the thin and thick arm of the measurer. For example, in the case of a person with a thin arm, the hook-and-loop fastener 11a of the folded part 11 is
The overlap with the surface fastener (the surface fastener on the other end side of the curved cuff 1) 15 corresponding to the surface fastener 11a is deepened.
That is, the folded portion 11 is lengthened, and the hook-and-loop fastener 11 is formed.
By engaging a and 15, the circumferential length of the curved cuff 1 can be set short, and can correspond to the thickness of the arm of the measurer. Then, after the arm is inserted through the curved cuff 1, the operation plate portion 2 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction as shown in FIG. As a result, the insertion ring 3 is pulled, and the folded portion 11, that is, the other end of the curved cuff 1 is simultaneously pulled, overlaps with one end of the curved cuff 1, and fits the inserted arm. In a state where the operation plate portion 2 is laid down on the surface of the curved cuff 1, the pulling direction of the insertion ring 3 extends inward of the curved cuff 1, and the operation plate portion 2 is fixed in the cuff tightening direction (FIG. 3). reference). Therefore, the work of tightening and fixing the cuff can be executed by one-touch operation of the operation plate portion 2.

FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing a cuff for a sphygmomanometer according to the second aspect. In this cuff for a sphygmomanometer, another example of the locking member 22 for fixing the insertion ring 3 is clearly shown. . In the above embodiment, the state in which the single locking tool 22 is attached is shown. In this embodiment, an example is shown in which a plurality of locking tools 22 are arranged at regular intervals and arranged in the front-rear direction. In this embodiment, when the insertion ring 3 is fixed to the operation plate portion 2, the locking member 22 in the front-rear direction is used.
Is selected, the circumference of the curved cuff 1 can be set in advance to the thickness of the measurer's arm. For example, when the measurer's arm is thin, the front locking member 22 is selected to fix the insertion ring 3. That is, the locking tool 22 located on the distal end side (opposite side of the rod shaft 14) of the operation plate 2 is selected. Thereby, the circumference of the curved cuff 1 can be set short.

[0013]

According to the present invention, as described above , the operation plate portion is rotatably mounted near one end of the curved cuff, and the folded portion formed by the hook-and-loop fastener on the other end of the curved cuff. Since the attached insertion ring is fixed to the locking device of the operation plate , regardless of individual differences in arm thickness and shape,
Just a one-touch operation to rotate the operation panel section, not only can Rukoto to fit the cuff on the wrist, it is possible to fix the fitting state, the cuff detachably attaching work is facilitated, it has an excellent effect of .
