Abstract

A physiological data measuring apparatus and a measuring strip are disclosed. The apparatus includes a measuring body and a measuring strip. The measuring body reads, displays and records a physiological signal. The measuring strip has a containing space for accommodating the measuring body and includes conducting metals for measuring and transmitting the physiological signal to the measuring body, wherein the conducting metals constitute a set of paired conducting metals that are wrapped by a soft material of the measuring strip. The soft material forms the containing space and two wings, and a pair of conducting metals are disposed at the bottom of the containing space and penetrates through the soft material to form two contact points, and another pair of conducting metals is disposed at the two wings outside the containing space to form a third contact point. The strip includes at least one adhesive for attaching a live organism.

Claims

1. A measuring strip, applied in a physiological data measuring apparatus, and said measuring strip comprising:

at least one paired conducting metals; and

a soft material for wrapping said paired conducting metals, and forming a containing space and at least two wings;

wherein a pair of conducting metals of said paired conducting metals are disposed at the bottom of said containing space and penetrates through said soft material, and another pair of conducting metals are disposed at said wings outside said containing space.

2. The measuring strip of claim 1, wherein said containing space defined by said soft material is substantially in a square shape, and said wings formed at both corresponding sides and said bottom are on the same plane.

3. The measuring strip of claim 1, wherein said paired conducting metals form at least three contact points on said soft material.

4. The measuring strip of claim 1, wherein the measuring strip further comprising at least one conducting adhesive for adhering a live organism.

5. The measuring strip of claim 4, wherein said conducting adhesive is a replaceable conducting adhesive.

6. The measuring strip of claim 1, wherein said soft material is silicon.

7. The measuring strip of claim 1, wherein said conducting metal is chrome or stainless steel.

8. The measuring strip of claim 1, wherein said physiological data measuring apparatus measures an electrocardiographic signal, a temperature signal or both.

9. A physiological data measuring apparatus, comprising:

a measuring body for reading, displaying and recording at least one physiological signal; and

a measuring strip having a containing space for accommodating said measuring body, and including a plurality of conducting metals for measuring said physiological signal to be transmitted to said measuring body.

10. The physiological data measuring apparatus of claim 9, wherein said measuring body comprises two conducting metals contacted with said measuring strip for receiving said physiological signals.

11. The physiological data measuring apparatus of claim 9, wherein said measuring strip is made of a soft material for wrapping said conducting metals.

12. The physiological data measuring apparatus of claim 9, wherein said measuring strip is coated with at least one conducting adhesive for attaching a live organism.

13. The physiological data measuring apparatus of claim 12, wherein said conducting adhesive is a replaceable conducting adhesive.

14. The physiological data measuring apparatus of claim 11, wherein said soft material is silicon.

15. The physiological data measuring apparatus of claim 9, wherein said conducting metal is chrome or stainless steel.

16. The physiological data measuring apparatus of claim 9, wherein said physiological signal is an electrocardiographic signal, a temperature signal or both.
