Height measuring apparatus and bioinstrumentation apparatus with height measuring device
First Claim
1. A height measuring apparatus comprising:
- a base platform on which an examinee stands;
a height measurement bar including a fixed bar erected from the base platform in a height direction of the examinee standing on the base platform and a movable bar provided in the fixed bar telescopically movably in the height direction;
a head-contact arm in the movable bar and operatively associated with the telescopic movement of the movable bar, or being movable using the movable bar as a guide, so as to abut the head of the examinee;
a height detector having components arranged to oppose each other such that a communication signal route between the components is not blocked when the examinee stands on the base platform, and a signal responsive to the distance between the opposing components is detected;
a height-producing processor for obtaining a height based on the distance signal detected by the height detector; and
a display panel including a display for displaying the height obtained by the height-producing processor.

Abstract
A height measuring apparatus and a bioinstrumentation apparatus with a height measuring device are provided capable of precise measurement accuracy without being affected by an examinee and being highly convenient to assemble, handle and operate. A height detector (a transceiver and a reflector or a transmitter and a receiver having a communication conformation with a laser or ultra sonic beam) has components arranged in a movable part (a head-contact arm or a movable bar) and in a stationary part (a height measurement unit (base platform) or a fixed bar) of a telescoping height measurement bar such that a communication signal route between the parts is not blocked when an examinee is standing thereon, to obtain a height measurement by detecting the distance between the movable and stationary parts.

30. A bioinstrumentation apparatus with a height measuring device comprising:
-
a weight measurement unit on which an examinee stands for measuring a weight;
a biogenic-impedance measurement unit for measuring the biogenic impedance of the examinee;
a height measurement bar including a fixed bar erected in a height direction of the examinee standing on the weight measurement unit and a movable bar in the fixed bar telescopically movably in the height direction;
a head-contact arm in the movable bar and operatively associated with the telescopic movement of the movable bar, or movable using the movable bar as a guide, so as to abut the head of the examinee;
a height detector having components that are arranged to oppose each other such as a communication signal route between the components is not blocked when the examinee stands on the weight measurement unit, and a signal responsive to the distance between the opposing components is detected;
a height-producing processor for obtaining a height based on the distance signal detected by the height detector;
a biogenic-information calculation unit for calculating biogenic-information about body composition based on the weight measured by the weight measurement unit, the biogenic impedance measured by the biogenic-impedance measurement unit, and the height obtained by the height-producing processor; and
a display panel including a display for displaying the biogenic-information about the body composition calculated by the biogenic-information calculation unit. - View Dependent Claims (31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44)
