Abstract

A cuff for a health managing system includes a strand having first and second terminal ends. A plurality of beads, each presenting a numerical or a non-numerical value, are slidably retainable and movable along the strand. A key extending from the strand and a keyway defined in each bead are movable between various positions to selectively allow movement of the beads between the first and second terminal ends for tabulating a health management system or preventing movement of the beads between the first and second terminal ends.

Claims

1. A health management cuff comprising;

a strand having a first terminal end and a second terminal end,

a plurality of beads retained on said strand moveable along said strand between said first terminal end and said second terminal end, and

a key disposed upon said strand between said first terminal end and said second terminal end and each of said beads defining a keyway alignable with said key for moving said beads between said first terminal end and said second terminal end.

2. A health management cuff as set forth in claim 1 wherein said key is further defined by a tab being integral with and extending from said strand.

3. A health management cuff as set forth in claim 2 wherein each bead presents a wall defining an opening for receiving said strand.

4. A health management cuff as set forth in claim 3 wherein said keyway is further defined by at least one slot formed in said wall of each bead for receiving said tab passing therethrough with said slot exposed to said opening of said bead.

5. A health management cuff as set forth in claim 4 wherein said strand is formed from a metal.

6. A health management cuff as set forth in claim 5 wherein each bead signifies a fragmental value of a health management system.

7. A health management cuff comprising;

a strand having first and second terminal ends and a tab extending from said strand between said first and second terminal ends,

a plurality of beads retained on said strand for movement along said strand between said first and second terminal ends with each of said beads presenting at least one slot, and

each of said beads movable between a first position as said tab is aligned with said slot of each said bead thereby allowing sequential movement of said beads between said first and second terminal ends for tabulating a health management system and a second position as said tab and said slot are not aligned with one another thereby preventing movement of said beads between said first and second terminal ends.

8. A health management cuff as set forth in claim 7 wherein said strand and said beads are formed from a metal.

9. A health management cuff as set forth in claim 8 wherein each bead signifies a fragmental value of said health management system.
