Biologic Information Detecting Apparatus
First Claim
1. A biologic information detecting apparatus comprising:
- a pair of arms that face each other;
a spindle connecting the pair of arms at one end of each of the pair of arms;
a distance varying mechanism provided for the spindle and adjusting an interval between the other ends of the pair of arms;
a sensor for detecting biologic information, which is attached to the other end of at least one of the pair of arms and attached on the facing sides of the pair of arms; and
an extensible member for shortening the interval between the other ends of the pair of arms.

Abstract
In measurement requiring application of pressure to a tissue of a living body such as blood pressure measurement, noise due to vibration tends to occur. It is therefore difficult to accurately measure a pulse wave and a blood pressure value, and there is a problem of measuring blood pressure stably. It is also difficult to measure blood pressure in daily life activities or to measure blood pressure at predetermined intervals or continuously in a state where a tonometer is always attached. There is consequently a problem of providing a method of holding a biologic information detecting apparatus. The present invention has been achieved to solve the problems and an object of the invention is to provide an easy-to-wear biologic information detecting apparatus for stably detecting biologic information.
In order to achieve the above object, biologic information detecting apparatus according to the invention has a structure in which the apparatus includes a sensor for detecting biologic information in a pair of arms connected via a spindle, and the sensor is tightly attached to a projecting part in a living body, particularly, a tragus of an auricle.
