Blood Pressure Measuring Cuffs and a Blood Pressure Measuring Device
First Claim
1. Blood pressure measuring cuffs which measures blood pressure using an inner cuff which is inserted in to the acoustic canal and an outer cuff placed on the outer surface of the tragus,said inner cuff and outer cuff are comprised of:
- a cuff member connected to a duct,and a cuff bladder fixed onto said cuff member in an air-tight manner and has a body which can expand and contract,and a lid of said cuff bladder has a pressing surface formed in a shape of either a protrusion or a collapsed protrusion.

Abstract
The present invention enables making uniform contact with the tragus using inner and outer cuffs, each of said inner and outer cuffs being comprised of a cuff member 40 connected to a duct 4 and a cuff bladder 22 having a body 27 which is fixed onto said cuff member in an air-tight manner and can expand and contract, comprised in such manner in order to carry out accurate blood pressure measurement at any one given point in time without being affected by the pinch width of the tragus and depth to the tragus even with repeated mounting and removal from the ear auricle, and also comprised such that a lid 23 of said cuff bladder forms a pressing surface 25 in a shape of a protrusion.

8. A blood pressure measuring device comprised of:
-
an inner cuff to be inserted into the acoustic canal and an outer cuff to be placed on the outer surface of the tragus, a holding means which holds said inner cuff and said outer cuff, a pulse wave detection means installed in at least one of said inner cuff and said outer cuff, and detects pulse wave signals from blood flowing through blood vessels, a pressuring and depressurizing, which applies or decreases pressure using a fluid body including air to said inner cuff and outer cuff that are pinching the tragus, ducts for supplying a fluid body connecting said inner cuff and said outer cuff to said pressure adjusting means, a pressure detecting means which detects pressures of said inner cuff and said outer cuff, and a blood pressure measurement controlling means which measures blood pressure from said pulse wave signals, wiring which connects said pulse wave detecting means and said blood pressure measurement controlling means, where said inner cuff and outer cuff are comprised of; said cuff member connected with said ducts, and a cuff bladder fixed onto said cuff member in an air-tight manner and a body which can expand and shrink, and forms a pressing surface shaped like a protrusion on the lid of said cuff bladder.
