Abstract

A combination of an article of clothing and ECG electrodes, the combination including a front piece and a back piece. The front piece includes an inner lining and an outer lining. Ten front-end modules of active electrodes, ten lead wires, and an electrical plug are disposed on the outer surface of the inner lining for the purpose of collecting electrical signals. The ten front-end modules are connected to the electrical plug via the ten lead wires, respectively. The front-end modules are riveted on the inner lining by bolts. The outer lining includes a pocket including a through hole. The electrical plug passes through the through hole and is inserted into a Holter system placed in the pocket. A plurality of female buckles for buckling ECG electrodes are disposed on an inner surface of the inner lining.

Claims

1. A combination of an article of clothing and ECG electrodes, the combination comprising:

a) a front piece, the front piece comprising an inner lining and an outer lining; and

b) a back piece;

wherein

ten front-end modules of active electrodes, ten lead wires, and an electrical plug for collecting electrical signals are disposed on an outer surface of the inner lining;

the ten front-end modules of active electrodes are connected to the electrical plug via the ten lead wires, respectively;

the ten front-end modules of active electrodes are riveted on the inner lining by bolts;

the outer lining comprises a pocket comprising a through hole;

the electrical plug passes through the through hole and is inserted into a Holter system placed in the pocket;

a plurality of female buckles for buckling ECG electrodes are disposed on an inner surface of the inner lining; and

both sides of the combination where the front piece and the back piece are sewn are provided with a first zipper for adjusting tightness.

2. The combination of claim 1, comprising a neck area and an abdomen area, wherein a second zipper extending from the neck area to the abdomen area is disposed in a middle line of the front piece of the combination.

3. The combination of claim 1, wherein both the inner lining of the front piece and the back piece are made of two different kinds of cloth.

4. The combination of claim 3, wherein the two different kinds of cloth comprise non-elastic cloth and elastic cloth.

5. The combination of claim 1, wherein an anti-skid plastic elastic band is disposed at a lower part of an inner side of both the front piece and the back piece of the combination.

6. The combination of claim 1, wherein each of the ten front-end modules of active electrodes comprises a first elastic pad, a signal processing PCB, and a metal mask;

the bolts pass through the signal processing PCB, the elastic pad, and the inner lining of the front piece, and then are connected to the female buckles;

the metal mask is filled with silica gel which covers the signal processing PCB; and

a second elastic pad is disposed at an outer side of the metal mask whereby increasing the tight pressure of electrodes on a wearer'"'"'s body.

7. The combination of claim 1, wherein the ECG electrodes comprise an electrode cap, an anti-skid washer, a conductive pad, and an electrode buckle;
