To provide a wrist cuff for a blood pressure monitor that is comfortable to wear, easy to wear, and capable of obtaining accurate and stable measured values. [Structure] A wrist cuff for a curler type sphygmomanometer in which an air bag section 3 and a collar section 5 that maintains the shape of the arm cuff are installed between the front and lining fabrics 1 and 2, and the collar section 5 is set in a conical shape. , is characterized in that the shape of the armband corresponds to the shape of the upper arm, which is the measurement site.

Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea]

0001

[Industrial application field]

When measuring blood pressure, this device wraps around the upper arm, which is the measurement site, and prevents blood flow from the artery. This invention relates to a blood pressure monitor cuff used for blood pressure monitors.

0002

[Conventional technology]

FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing a conventional cuff for a Carla blood pressure monitor. This curly armband In A, the air bag portion 3 and the separator (vinyl sheet ) 4 and Carla 5 are installed inside. An air tube 7 is provided in the air bag portion 3. This air tube 7 is led out to the outside and connected to a pressurizing source. In addition, the lining fabric (inner One end of the cloth 2 is removably engaged with a fastener provided at an appropriate position on the outer cloth 1. A fastener section 6 is provided.

0003 When using, wrap arm cuff A around upper arm B, which is the measurement area, and The fastener parts 6, 6 are engaged to maintain the wrapped state. Then, add air bag 3. Pressure is applied using a pressure source (pressure pump) to ischemize the brachial artery. After this, the air bag 3 internal pressure Exhaust the force slowly and measure blood pressure.

[Problem that the idea aims to solve]

The curler 5 installed in the conventional curler-type arm cuff has a "C" shape, as shown in Figure 5. It is formed into a cylindrical shape. Therefore, the cuff A itself has a cylindrical shape due to the curler 5. Retained. In other words, the upper diameter and lower diameter of the wristband A are the same. others Therefore, as shown in Figure 6, when this cylindrical arm cuff A is worn on the upper arm B, the upper part of the upper arm B The upper arm (armpit side) is in close contact with arm cuff A, but the lower part of upper arm B (elbow side) is thin, so arm cuff A There will be a gap between the two and they will not come into close contact. As a result, the measurement site, the upper arm, comes into close contact with the arm cuff. The area is small, and the arm cuff does not feel comfortable when wrapped, making it difficult to wear it, and it can be used accurately. There were disadvantages such as the inability to obtain stable measured values.

[0005] This idea solves the above problems and increases the contact area between the upper arm and the arm cuff. This makes it comfortable to wear, easy to wear, and provides accurate and stable measurement values. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a wrist cuff for a blood pressure monitor that can be used as a blood pressure monitor.

[0006]

[Means and actions for solving the problem]

In order to achieve this purpose, the blood pressure cuff of this invention has the following configuration. It is said that The blood pressure cuff has an air bag section between the front and lining fabrics, and a collar section that maintains the cuff shape. A wrist cuff for a curler-type blood pressure monitor with an internal collar, the collar part being set in a conical shape, and the arm cuff The feature is that the shape corresponds to the shape of the upper arm, which is the measurement site.

[0007] The blood pressure monitor cuff having such a configuration is a curler type cuff, and the cuff has a curler shape. The shape is set to a conical shape, and the arm cuff is held in a conical shape. In other words, Carla is cylindrical with a "C-shaped" cross section, and the lower diameter is set smaller than the upper diameter. Ru. Therefore, the diameter of the upper arm (armpit) side, which is the measurement site, is larger, and the diameter of the lower arm is larger. Since the formation on the elbow (elbow) side is small, the cuff itself is designed to correspond to the natural shape of the upper arm. It has become. This not only makes it easier and more comfortable to wear, but also makes it more comfortable to wear. When wrapped around the arm, the contact area between the upper arm and arm cuff increases, resulting in accurate and stable measurement values. can be obtained.

【Example】

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a specific embodiment of the blood pressure monitor cuff according to this invention. .

[0009] As is well known, the curler type blood pressure monitor wristband A of the embodiment has a front fabric 1, a lining fabric 2, and a front fabric. - Air bag part 3 arranged between lining fabrics 1 and 2 and air bag part 3 from the corner of collar part 4 Separator part (vinyl sheet) 4 to protect and collar part 5 to maintain the arm cuff shape There are magic fasteners 6 that are removably engaged in appropriate positions on the front and lining fabrics 1 and 2. is installed. In particular, the magic fastener 6 of the lining fabric 2 has one end without the collar portion 5. It is attached to the part side (wrapping part side). Although not shown, there is also an air bag section 3 inside. , the front and back fabrics 1 and 2 that house the separator part 4 and the collar part 5 are It is held together with astape. Further, the air bag portion 3 has an air tube 7 One end of this air tube 7 is led out to an external pressure source (pressure pump) and is designed to be detachably connected.

0010 This invention is characterized by the shape of the curler portion 5. In other words, the cara Section 5 is set in a conical shape as shown in Fig. The point is that it has a unique upper arm shape. The curler portion 5 is made of a uniform material such as polypropylene. It is molded from a resin material that has a certain strength and flexibility. This curler part 5 is partially The upper part of the upper arm B is a cylindrical part with a "C-shaped" cross section, and is the measurement site. The diameter corresponding to the (armpit) side is the large diameter, and the diameter corresponding to the lower part (elbow) side of the upper arm B is the large diameter. It is set in a conical shape so that it has a small diameter. This collar part 5 allows the shape of the wristband A to be corresponds to the natural shape of the upper arm B, which is the measurement site.

[0011] A blood pressure monitor wristband having such a configuration is a collar type wristband, and the collar part is 5 is set in a conical shape, and the arm cuff A is held in a conical shape. In other words , the curler 5 is cylindrical with a "C-shaped" cross section, and the lower diameter is smaller than the upper diameter. It is set. Therefore, the diameter of the upper arm (armpit) side of the upper arm B, which is the measurement site, is larger. , because the diameter of the lower arm (elbow) side is small, the cuff A itself does not fit the natural shape of the upper arm. It is designed to respond. This makes it easy to wear and comfortable to wear. When it is wrapped around the upper arm B instead of being wrapped around the upper arm B, as shown in Figure 3, the tightness between the upper arm B and the cuff A is The contact area increases and accurate and stable measurements can be obtained.

0012

[Effect of the idea]

As mentioned above, this invention is a collar type arm cuff, and the shape of the collar part is conical. Since we decided to hold the cuff in a conical shape, the cuff itself looks natural on the upper arm. It is designed to correspond to the shape. This makes it easy to put on and provides a comfortable fit. Unexpectedly, when wrapped around the upper arm, the contact area between the upper arm and the cuff increases, It has excellent effects that achieve the purpose of the invention, such as being able to obtain accurate and stable measurement values. have
