Publication number: 20100137725Abstract: A sphygmomanometer cuff is used by being wrapped around an upper arm, and includes an air bladder, a cover body, and a cushion material. The air bladder is inflated/contracted by in/out of fluid, and includes a compression acting surface positioned on the upper arm side when the sphygmomanometer cuff is wrapped around the upper arm. The cover body internally includes the air bladder, and includes an inner peripheral side sheet portion positioned on the upper arm side when the sphygmomanometer cuff is wrapped around the upper arm. The cushion material is positioned on the inner peripheral side sheet portion side than the compression acting surface, and is compressible in a direction parallel to a thickness direction of the inner peripheral side sheet portion. According to such a configuration, the internal bleeding at the measuring site that may occur when measuring the blood pressure is reliably prevented.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2007Publication date: June 3, 2010Inventors: Akihisa Takahashi, Yoshihide Onishi, Tomohiro Kukita, Chisato Uesaka, Yukiya Sawanoi, Masataka Yanagase

Patent number: 7434992Abstract: A first thermistor 8 and a second thermistor 9 are arranged forwardly and rearwardly of a thermopile sensor 5. A thermopile chip 55 is arranged and interposed between the first thermistor 8 and an integrated thermistor 57. A sensor cover is mounted in contact with front and side portions of a can portion 59 of a thermopile casing 56. A temperature or a radiant quantity of infrared rays on the front portion of the can portion is estimated from a temperature change of the integrated thermistor per second.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2004Date of Patent: October 14, 2008Assignee: Omron Healthcare Co., Ltd.Inventors: Makoto Tabata, Hiroyuki Ota, Yoshihide Onishi, Yoshihiko Ogura, Tetsuya Sato, Taiga Sato
