Patent number: 10349843Abstract: With the blood pressure meter of the present invention, a pump unit is connected via a first fluid path to a fluid bladder. The first fluid path extends straight in the Z direction between the pump unit and the fluid bladder, sends air supplied from the pump unit to the fluid bladder or sends air inside of the fluid bladder to a valve.Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 2014Date of Patent: July 16, 2019Assignee: OMRON HEALTHCARE CO., LTD.Inventors: Takanori Nishioka, Shingo Yamashita, Masataka Yanagase, Chisato Uesaka, Ryosuke Doi, Hiroyasu Ariga, Keita Ikeda, Izumi Hachimaru

Patent number: 9999358Abstract: A blood pressure measurement device includes a cuff and a control unit. The cuff includes a first securing portion, provided on one surface of the cuff, for securing the cuff to the measurement area in a wrapped state, and a second securing portion, provided on another surface of the cuff, for securing the cuff to the measurement area in a wrapped state. At least one of the first securing portion and the second securing portion includes an electromagnet portion. The control unit secures the cuff to the measurement area by controlling a magnetic force emitted from the electromagnet portion and causing the second securing portion to be attracted to the first securing portion.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2014Date of Patent: June 19, 2018Assignee: OMRON HEALTHCARE CO., LTD.Inventors: Ryosuke Doi, Shingo Yamashita, Masataka Yanagase, Yukiya Sawanoi, Chisato Uesaka, Naoki Miyakawa, Hiroshi Koshimizu, Kenichiro Zaitsu

Patent number: 9572500Abstract: A first oscillation circuit and a second oscillation circuit are connected to a first pressure sensor and a second pressure sensor, respectively, and oscillate based on the capacity values of the corresponding pressure sensors. The first oscillation circuit and the second oscillation circuit operate in response to instruction from a CPU. The one of the first oscillation circuit and the second oscillation circuit that has received an activation signal from the CPU outputs a signal having a frequency that corresponds to the capacity value of the corresponding pressure sensor. An adjustment circuit is connected to the first oscillation circuit and the second oscillation circuit, and allows one of the frequency signals to pass therethrough, outputting the signal to the CPU.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 2012Date of Patent: February 21, 2017Assignee: OMRON HEALTHCARE Co., Ltd.Inventors: Ryosuke Doi, Takanori Nishioka, Kohei Takeoka, Yukiya Sawanoi, Kenichi Horibata, Masataka Yanagase, Izumi Hachimaru

Patent number: 9307916Abstract: In an electronic sphygmomanometer, the thickness of the second connection tube is set to be lower than the thickness of the first connection tube, and therefore, even if error has occurred in the structural dimensions of the pressure sensor air tube, the error can be absorbed as a result of the second connection tube extending/contracting. It is therefore possible to provide an electronic sphygmomanometer that includes, in a structure in which a pressure sensor used in the electronic sphygmomanometer is disposed, a peripheral structure for the pressure sensor that can improve the reliability of blood pressure measurement values.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2012Date of Patent: April 12, 2016Assignee: OMRON HEALTHCARE Co., Ltd.Inventors: Ryosuke Doi, Takanori Nishioka, Kohei Takeoka, Yukiya Sawanoi, Izumi Hachimaru, Masataka Yanagase, Kenichi Horibata

Patent number: 9204810Abstract: A blood pressure meter includes a cuff serving as a blood pressure measurement cuff, a main body attached in an opposing manner to the cuff, a display unit having a rectangular width and being arranged along an external face of the main body on a side opposite to the cuff, and first to third light emitting elements serving as light emitting units arranged inside the main body at positions that are farther from the external face than the display unit is. The first to third light emitting elements serving as a light emitting unit are arranged in a row in the width direction of the cuff. The display unit has a cutout portion at the center of one end side with respect to the direction in which the cuff extends. The cutout portion is formed by cutting out a region corresponding to the first to third light emitting elements.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 2013Date of Patent: December 8, 2015Assignee: OMRON HEALTHCARE Co., Ltd.Inventors: Keita Ikeda, Masataka Yanagase, Shingo Yamashita, Takanori Nishioka, Izumi Hachimaru

Patent number: 9125568Abstract: In an electronic sphygmomanometer, a first pressure sensor and a second pressure sensor are disposed on a front surface side that serves as a first main surface of an internal circuit board, following a horizontal direction (the X direction) that is orthogonal to the direction in which the internal circuit board is sloped. As a result, the first pressure sensor and the second pressure sensor are disposed having the same height position. It is therefore possible to provide an electronic sphygmomanometer that includes, as a structure in which a pressure sensor used in the electronic sphygmomanometer is disposed, a peripheral structure for the pressure sensor that can improve the reliability of blood pressure measurement values.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2012Date of Patent: September 8, 2015Assignee: OMRON HEALTHCARE Co., Ltd.Inventors: Ryosuke Doi, Takanori Nishioka, Kohei Takeoka, Yukiya Sawanoi, Izumi Hachimaru, Masataka Yanagase, Kenichi Horibata

Patent number: 8998819Abstract: In an electronic sphygmomanometer, a protruding member is provided in an outside surface of a first air port connection head, and when a first air port is pushed into the first air port connection head, the protruding member passes over a first shielding plate while elastically deforming and reaches a position on the inner side of the first shielding plate. As a result, the first air port connection head is prevented from pulling out from the first air port, and a sense of the protruding member locking in upon returning to its original form is imparted on a worker. It is therefore possible to provide an electronic sphygmomanometer that includes, as a structure in which a pressure sensor used in the electronic sphygmomanometer is disposed, a peripheral structure for the pressure sensor that can improve the reliability of blood pressure measurement values.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2012Date of Patent: April 7, 2015Assignee: OMRON HEALTHCARE Co., Ltd.Inventors: Ryosuke Doi, Takanori Nishioka, Kohei Takeoka, Yukiya Sawanoi, Izumi Hachimaru, Masataka Yanagase, Kenichi Horibata

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
