Abstract

A finger gripping force measuring device includes a housing having a pressure detecting device, one or more knobs attached to the pressure detecting device for engaging with a finger of a user, and for allowing the finger of the user to apply a pressing force against the pressure detecting device with the knobs, and a displayer coupled to the pressure detecting device for receiving signals from the pressure detecting device and for displaying the pressing force applied against the pressure detecting device. The housing includes a circuit board coupled to the pressure detecting device, for supporting the pressure detecting device.

Claims

1. A finger gripping force measuring device comprising:

a housing, a pressure detecting device disposed in said housing,

at least one knob attached to said pressure detecting device for engaging with a finger of a user, and for allowing the finger of the user to apply a pressing force against said pressure detecting device with said at least one knob, and

a displayer coupled to said pressure detecting device for receiving signals from said pressure detecting device and for displaying the pressing force applied against said pressure detecting device.

2. The finger gripping force measuring device as claimed in claim 1, wherein said displayer is a liquid crystal displayer.

3. The finger gripping force measuring device as claimed in claim 1, wherein said housing includes a circuit board disposed therein and coupled to said pressure detecting device, for supporting said pressure detecting device.

4. The finger gripping force measuring device as claimed in claim 1, wherein said housing includes an opening formed therein, and aligned with said displayer for allowing said displayer to be seen through said opening of said housing.
