[0022]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a sphygmomanometer to be attached to a blood pressure measurement site of a human body such as an upper arm, a wrist or a finger, and a blood pressure value display having a transparent portion on substantially the entire surface of the main body case. And the switch operation part that operates the sphygmomanometer, and because the switch operation part has a spring property for operation, it is installed on the blood pressure value display part, the switch operation part, and almost the entire body case. As a result, the switch operation part can be taken large, and the switch operation part can be pressed without looking carefully, which makes it easy to operate, and the blood pressure value display part is also integrated with the switch operation part. The blood pressure value display can be made larger, the blood pressure value display can be seen more easily, and the body case can be made compact due to the integration, which improves the portability of the sphygmomanometer and enhances usability, and further downsizing. There is an advantage that can be achieved.

Further, according to the first aspect of the present invention, since the elastically displaceable hinge is formed in the main body case to have the spring property for operation, by pressing the transparent part which becomes the switch operation part, The switch can be operated, a transparent portion can be formed on substantially the entire front surface of the main body case, the blood pressure value display portion can be easily seen, and the switch operation portion can be easily operated, and the size can be reduced.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, since the front surface of the liquid crystal serves both as the blood pressure value display portion and the switch operation portion, and the switch component has a spring characteristic for operation, the front surface of the liquid crystal is the blood pressure. Since it also serves as a value display section and a switch operation section that operates the sphygmomanometer, the transparent plate can be omitted and the configuration can be simplified.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, since the main body case is provided with the protrusion protruding from the surface of the main body case,
Since the protrusion is formed on the peripheral portion of the main body case, it is possible to prevent the switch operating unit from being operated by the protrusion to unexpectedly operate the sphygmomanometer. In the invention of claim 4 ,
Since the lock piece for the switch operation part is provided on the main body case so as to be slidable between the operable position and the inoperable position of the switch operation part, by moving the lock piece to the inoperable position, the switch There is an advantage that the operation unit is not accidentally operated and the blood pressure monitor is not accidentally operated.
