Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] <Industrial application field> The present invention relates to a wristband for a blood pressure monitor.

<Conventional technology> With the cuff of a blood pressure monitor, the position of the microphone may shift depending on the size of the cuff relative to the thickness of the arm, resulting in slight fluctuations in measured values. You need to choose one of the appropriate size.

Therefore, in order to enable the user to easily select an appropriate arm cuff, a cuff as shown in FIG. 5, for example, is known. In this arm cuff, an arrow 2 is provided on one side of the wrapped end 1, and the wrapped end 1
An arrow 3 indicating a certain range in the wrapping direction is provided on the outer surface of the part where the cuff is attached, and the suitability of the cuff is indicated by the position of the arrow 2 with respect to the arrow 3. In other words, when the cuff is wrapped around the arm, if the position of arrow 2 is within the range of arrow 3, the size of the cuff is appropriate for the arm circumference, and conversely, arrow 2 is smaller than arrow 3. If it is out of place, it can be determined that the size of the cuff is not appropriate for the arm circumference.

<Problems to be solved by the invention> However, in such conventional technology, when the cuff is wrapped around the arm, the arrow 3 is hidden below the wrapping end, so the arrow 3 and the arrow There is a problem that it is not possible to easily confirm the position with respect to 2. For this reason, especially when the measurer wears the arm cuff alone, he or she must wrap the cuff and check the positions of the arrows 2 and 3 by himself, which makes the work complicated.
It also becomes difficult to make appropriate decisions.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an arm cuff that allows the permissible range of the arm circumference to be used to be easily and accurately determined.

<Means for solving the problems> The cuff of the blood pressure monitor of the present invention is provided with a mark indicating a certain range in the width direction at the wrapping end, and
A sloped line intersecting the winding end is provided on the outer surface of the midway portion where the winding end is attached, and the position of the intersection of the winding end and the slope line can be confirmed by a mark.

<Embodiment> FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of the present invention.

In the arm cuff according to this embodiment, a wrapping end 5 connected to a bag-shaped cloth 4 in which a rubber bag is housed is passed through a metal fitting 6 attached to the opposite end, and then folded back, and the outer surface of the middle part is folded back. 7 so that it can be wrapped around the arm. That is, the outer surface 7 of the middle part of the cuff and the inside of the wrapping end 5 are provided with hook-and-loop fasteners or the like that are joined to each other, so that the wrapping end 5 can be attached to adjust its length. It's getting old.

Further, an inclined line 8 is provided on the outer surface 7 of the middle part of the cuff corresponding to the mounting position of the wrapping end 5. This slope line 8 is clearly visible in color and has several numbers.
It has a width of about mm and is formed by printing or the like from one side edge to the other side edge of the cuff.

This inclined line 8 intersects with the wrapped end 5 of the wearer, and the position of the intersection determines whether the size of the cuff is suitable for the arm. In other words, if the size of the cuff is too large or too small for the arm around which it is wrapped, the wrapping end 5 may be located very close to either end of the slope line 8 or It is arranged at a position away from line 8. Furthermore, if the size of the cuff is appropriate for the arm on which it is wrapped, the wrapping end 5 is placed closer to the center of the inclined line 8, as shown in FIG. There is. Therefore, the slope line 8
The intersection point between the wrapping end portion 5 and the wrapping end portion 5 is arranged closer to the center of the arm cuff as the arm cuff becomes an appropriate size.

Furthermore, a mark 9 is provided on the winding end portion 5 . This mark 9 consists of an arrow 9a along the width direction of the cuff, marks 9b attached to both ends of this arrow 9a,
9c, and is formed by printing or the like in a color that is clearly visible like the inclined line 8. This mark 9 indicates the permissible range of the position of the intersection of the above-mentioned inclined line 8 and the winding end 5. In other words, when the position of the intersection is within the range of arrow 9a, the size of the arm cuff is appropriate for the arm around which it is wrapped, and when the position of the intersection coincides with either mark 9b or 9c, the arm cuff is The size of is the limit value for the arm, and the position of the intersection is the landmark 9
If it comes off too much, it indicates that the size of the cuff is inappropriate for your arm.

In the armband as described above, when it is wrapped around the arm, it is important to check whether the intersection of the inclined line 8 and the wrapping end 5, that is, the cut of the inclined line 8 by the wrapping end 5, is within the range of the mark 9. By visually checking, it is possible to determine whether the arm cuff is the right size for the arm.

Further, in the above embodiment, the mark 9 was composed of an arrow 9a and marks 9b, 9c, but as shown in FIG. As shown in Figure 4,
A mark 10 consisting of a plurality of marks 10a indicating arm circumference dimensions may be provided. In addition, the slope line 8 and the landmark 9
The appropriateness of the arm cuff may be displayed by color-coding.

<Effects of the invention> As explained above, according to the invention, when the arm cuff is wrapped around the arm, the arm cuff is measured relative to the arm circumference from the intersection of the inclined line appearing on the outside and the wrapping end. It is possible to judge suitability. Therefore, compared to conventional methods in which the mark is hidden when the cuff is wrapped around it, it is extremely easy to know the allowable range of arm circumference, and even when the person measuring the cuff is sick or elderly, it is possible to easily check the allowable range of the cuff. Can be easily worn alone.
