  • Method for producing a strain gauge device
    Patent number: 10548488
    Abstract: The method for producing the strain gauge device (10) comprises a first stop of producing the band (12). The band (12) has flexibility at least in the measuring zone (36). Then a sensor (22) comprising at least one measuring strand (30) and changing electrical resistivity in dependence of the strain is produced and arranged on or in the band (12) without pre-tension. Afterwards the shape of the band (12) is changed into a retaining working shape and thereby the measuring strand (30) is stretched to an amount of pre-tension.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 16, 2016
    Date of Patent: February 4, 2020
    Assignees: STBL Medical Research AG, EMPA Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology

  • STRAIN GAUGE DEVICE AND EQUIPMENT WITH SUCH STRAIN GAUGE DEVICES
    Publication number: 20170089782
    Abstract: The strain gauge device (20) comprises an elastic band (22), the strain of which is to be measured. The sensor (26) comprises at least one elongated measuring strand (38) changing resistivity in dependence of the strain of the band (22). The measuring strand (38) is mounted with pre-tension to the band (22) by means of a layer of glue disposed between the sensor (26) and the band (22). The equipment (10) for continually measuring the blood pressure of a user comprises at least one strain gauge device (20).
