Patent number: 8226567Abstract: A blood pressure manometer comprises a body and a separate display, and the body and separate display are provided with first and second communication parts, respectively. The first communication part has a light emitting element and is configured so that the element sends an infrared signal including blood pressure data. The second communication part has a light receiving element and is configured so that the light receiving element receives the infrared signal including the blood pressure data from the first communication part. The light emitting element is supported by the body to be opposite a subject even if a blood pressure measuring portion of the body measures the subject's blood pressure from any of the subject's left and right regions. The light receiving element is supported by the separate display to received the infrared signal which is sent from the light emitting element to be reflected on the subject.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2007Date of Patent: July 24, 2012Assignee: Panasonic CorporationInventors: Takeshi Kojima, Tsuyoshi Yuasa, Shinichi Fumuro, Yoshitoshi Kanetsuna

Patent number: 8128571Abstract: A sphygmomanometer includes a cuff block having a cuff for restricting flow of blood and a base block, to which the cuff block is pivotably connected, having an elbow support for supporting an elbow of a user who inserts his/her arm into the cuff block. The sphygmomanometer further includes a compensating unit to compensate a change of distance from one end of the cuff block to the elbow support, which is caused by a pivotal movement of the cuff block with respect to the base block.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2007Date of Patent: March 6, 2012Assignee: Panasonic Electric Works Co., Ltd.Inventors: Shinichi Fumuro, Takeshi Kojima, Tsuyoshi Yuasa, Yoshitoshi Kanetsuna

Patent number: 8109881Abstract: A sphygmomanometer includes a base block and a cuff block having a cuff for restricting flow of blood, the cuff block being connected to the base block in such a manner that an angle of the cuff block with respect to a horizontal plane is variable within an angular range. The sphygmomanometer further includes a spring biasing unit for returning the cuff block to a position at a predetermined angle within the variable angular range of the cuff block when the cuff block is not used.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2007Date of Patent: February 7, 2012Assignee: Panasonic Electric Works Co., Ltd.Inventors: Shinichi Fumuro, Takeshi Kojima, Tsuyoshi Yuasa, Yoshitoshi Kanetsuna

Publication number: 20080146947Abstract: The blood pressure measuring device comprises a main device 1, and a separate device 2 capable of being used separately from the main device 1. The main device and the separate device have a wireless communication means 11 and 12, respectively. At least one device of the main device and the separate device has a power switch, and one device having the power switch is activated when the power switch is operated, and then the one device transmits a start signal to the other device by the wireless communication. The other device shifts periodically from a power-off state to a power-on state on its own when in the power-off state to check the start signal, and it is activated if it receives the start signal when it shifts to the power-on state. The one device transmits the start signal continuously over a period longer than a period during which the power switch is operated to activate the one device.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 13, 2007Publication date: June 19, 2008Inventors: Takeshi Kojima, Tsuyoshi Yuasa, Shinichi Fumuro, Yoshitoshi Kanetsuna

Patent number: 7207944Abstract: A blood pressure monitor is provided with a box-shaped housing having openings formed in left and right side walls, a cuff transversely arranged in the housing and including an arm entrance and an arm exit at the opposite left and right ends corresponding to the openings. The cuff is formed with a blood flow blocking bag in a specified area. The opposite ends of the cuff is taken up by a cuff take-up drum such that the blood flow blocking bag extends along the outer circumferential surface of the inserted arm at the time of a measurement and a compressed air is supplied to the blood flow blocking bag to block the blood flow.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2005Date of Patent: April 24, 2007Assignee: Matsushita Electric Works, Ltd.Inventors: Shinichi Fumuro, Koichi Okada, Takeshi Kojima, Tsuyoshi Yuasa, Nobuo Iwai
