Abstract

A living body information measurement device of the present invention includes: an insertion/removal opening through which a finger of a living body is to be inserted/removed, a receiving space for receiving the living body finger inserted through the insertion/removal opening, and a mounting main unit having a pad receiving surface facing the receiving space and being configured to receive a pad of the living body finger inserted through the insertion/removal opening, and the mounting main unit has a pair of first finger slippage blocking portions at respective side edges of the pad receiving surface in a perpendicular direction perpendicular to an insertion/removal direction in which the living body finger is to be inserted and removed, the first finger slippage blocking portions extending along the insertion/removal direction and being configured to prevent the living body finger received by the pad receiving surface from being shifted in the perpendicular direction.

Claims

1. A living body information measurement device comprising:

a mounting part for mounting a finger of a living body; and

a light emitting/receiving unit configured to emit measurement light to the finger mounted in the mounting part, and receive detection light based on the measurement light and coming from an inside of the finger for use in obtaining predetermined living body information, wherein

the mounting part includes an insertion/removal opening through which the living body finger is to be inserted/removed, a receiving space for receiving the living body finger inserted through the insertion/removal opening, and a mounting main unit having a pad receiving surface facing the receiving space and being configured to receive a pad of the living body finger inserted through the insertion/removal opening,

the light emitting/receiving unit is provided to emit measurement light to the receiving space and receive the detection light, and

the mounting main unit has a pair of first finger slippage blocking portions at respective side edges of the pad receiving surface in a perpendicular direction perpendicular to an insertion/removal direction in which the living body finger is to be inserted and removed, the first finger slippage blocking portions extending along the insertion/removal direction and being configured to prevent the living body finger received by the pad receiving surface from being shifted in the perpendicular direction.

2. The living body information measurement device according to claim 1, wherein the pair of first finger slippage blocking portions are one of a pair of projections protruding inward of the receiving space at a predetermined height from the pad receiving surface, a pair of grooves/projections each being a combination of a groove recessed outward of the receiving space with a predetermined depth in the pad receiving surface and a projection provided adjacent to the groove and protruding inward of the receiving space with a predetermined height from the pad receiving surface, and a pair of roughened surfaces obtained through surface roughening.

3. The living body information measurement device according to claim 1, wherein the mounting main unit further has:

a back receiving surface facing the receiving space and being configured to receive a back of the living body finger inserted through the insertion/removal opening; and

a pair of second finger slippage blocking portions at respective side edges of the back receiving surface in the perpendicular direction, the second finger slippage blocking portions extending along the insertion/removal direction and being configured to prevent the living body finger received by the pad receiving surface from being shifted in the perpendicular direction.

4. The living body information measurement device according to claim 2, wherein the mounting main unit further has:

a back receiving surface facing the receiving space and being configured to receive a back of the living body finger inserted through the insertion/removal opening; and

a pair of second finger slippage blocking portions at respective side edges of the back receiving surface in the perpendicular direction, the second finger slippage blocking portions extending along the insertion/removal direction and being configured to prevent the living body finger received by the pad receiving surface from being shifted in the perpendicular direction.
