Abstract

To prevent a packing of a battery lid from being deteriorated by sweat of a user and maintain waterproof performance of an apparatus over a long period of time. A top side, that is, an upper case of a transmitter case of a heart beat measuring transmitter is provided with a battery containing portion and an openable/closable battery lid for sealing an opening of the battery containing portion in liquid tight, and an openable/closable battery lid cover for covering the battery lid. A waterproof elastic member is provided between an inner face of the battery lid cover and the upper case of the transmitter case to surround an outer side of an outer periphery of the battery lid.

Claims

1. A heart beat measuring transmitter comprising:

a heart beat measuring transmitter for transmitting by wireless from an antenna based on a cardiographic signal detected by a pair of chest electrodes attached to a chest belt;

wherein the heart beat measuring transmitter includes a cardiographic signal detecting portion and a wireless transmitting portion and a battery containing portion for containing a battery constituting a power source thereof on a top side of a transmitter case; and

an openable/closable battery lid for sealing an opening of the battery containing portion in liquid tight.

2. A heart beat measuring transmitter according to claim 1;

further comprising an openable/closable battery lid cover for covering the battery lid on the top side of the transmitter case.

3. A heart beat measuring transmitter according to claim 2, further comprising a waterproof elastic member between an inner face of the battery lid cover and an upper face of the transmitter case to surround an outer side of an outer periphery of the battery lid.

4. A heart beat measuring transmitter according to claim 2, wherein the battery lid cover is attached to the transmitter case by a hinge.

5. A heart beat measuring transmitter according to claim 2, wherein the battery lid cover is mounted openably/closably to the battery containing portion and a cylindrical recess portion for attaching the battery lid cover formed on an upper side of the battery lid.

6. A heart beat measuring apparatus including the heart beat measuring transmitter according to claim 1.

7. A heart beat measuring apparatus including the heart beat measuring transmitter according to claim 2.

8. A heart beat measuring apparatus including the heart beat measuring transmitter according to claim 3.

9. A heart beat measuring apparatus including the heart beat measuring transmitter according to claim 4.

10. A heart beat measuring apparatus including the heart beat measuring transmitter according to claim 5.
