Abstract: An occlusal force-meter 1 includes an occlusal force detecting portion 2 for detecting an occlusal force and a main body 3 for processing the detected signal obtained by the occlusal force detecting portion 2 to display the occlusal force measured value on a display 4. The occlusal force detecting portion 2 includes a transmitting portion (second pressure transmitting portion) 5 having diaphragm portions 7, 8 at an upper surface and/or a lower surface of one end portion 5f thereof. A pressure medium liquid L is filed therein, for transmitting the occlusal force added to the diaphragm portions 7, 8 to a pressure detector 9 disposed on the other end portion 5r thereof.

Abstract: The object of the present invention is to provide a maximum value storage sensor when detecting the maximum strain by generating an invariable electrical resistance change correlative to the strain of the detection object in a conductive body having a plurality of conductive elements. The maximum value storage sensor of the present invention has; a conductive body having a circuit which gives correlative resistance changes corresponding to the sequential cutoff of a plurality of conductive elements each having a given electrical resistance arrayed in parallel; a cutting means for cutting the conductive elements of the conductive body; and a structure for allowing one of the conductive bodies and the cutting means to move relatively to each other.
