SUPPORT TOOL AND BIOLOGICAL INFORMATION ACQUISITION SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A support tool to be mounted on a finger of a subject on which a sensor is mounted so as to support an acquisition of biological information of the subject, the support tool comprising:
- a first support to be disposed, when mounted, on a first side of the finger of the subject, the first support comprising an inner peripheral face;
a second support to be disposed, when mounted, on a second side of the finger of the subject opposite to the first side, a relative position of the second support with respect to the first support being fixed;
a bag made of a material softer than the first support and the second support, the bag being at least partially disposed along the inner peripheral face; and
a channel formation part forming a fluid channel communicating with an inside of the bag,wherein the support tool is configured such that, when mounted, the sensor is disposed in a detachable manner at at least one of between the finger of the subject and the bag and between the finger of the subject and the second support.

Abstract
A support tool is mounted on a finger of a subject on whom a sensor is mounted to support acquisition of biological information. A first support is disposed on a nail side of the subject'"'"'s finger. A second support is disposed on a ventral side of the subject'"'"'s finger. The relative position of the second support with respect to the first support does not change. A bag is formed with a material softer than the first support and second support, and is disposed along an inner peripheral face of the first support. A ventilation tube forms a ventilation channel communicating with an inside of the bag. The sensor includes a light emission part and a light reception part. The light emission part is disposed between the subject'"'"'s finger and the bag. The light reception part is disposed between the subject'"'"'s finger and the second support.

10. A support tool to be mounted on a finger of a subject to support an acquisition of biological information of the subject, the support tool comprising
a first support to be disposed, when mounted, on a first side of the finger of the subject, the first support comprising an inner peripheral face; -
a second support to be disposed, when mounted, on a second side of the finger of the subject opposite to the first side, a relative position of the second support with respect to the first support being fixed; a bag made of a material softer than the first support and the second support, the bag being at least partially disposed along the inner peripheral face; a channel formation part forming a fluid channel communicating with an inside of the bag; a sensor that outputs a signal corresponding to the biological information of the subject, the sensor being disposed, when mounted, at at least one of between the finger of the subject and the bag and between the finger of the subject and the second support; and a tube connected to the channel formation part and having higher softness than the first support and the second support, the tube comprising a ventilation channel communicating with the channel formation part to form a part of the fluid channel, wherein the tube comprises a structure to retain a signal line electrically connected to the sensor. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13)

14. A biological information acquisition system comprising:
-
a support tool to be mounted on a finger of a subject; a sensor to be mounted on the finger of the subject to output a signal corresponding to biological information of the subject; an information acquisition part which acquires the biological information based on the signal output from the sensor; and an information output part which outputs the information acquired by the information acquisition part, wherein the support tool comprises; a first support to be disposed, when mounted, on a first side of the finger of the subject, the first support comprising an inner peripheral face; a second support to be disposed, when mounted, on a second side of the finger of the subject opposite to the first side, a relative position of the second support with respect to the first support being fixed; a bag made of a material softer than the first support and the second support, the bag being at least partially disposed along the inner peripheral face; and a channel formation part forming a fluid channel communicating with an inside of the bag, wherein the sensor is disposed, when the support tool is mounted, at at least one of between the finger of the subject and the bag and between the finger of the subject and the second support in a detachable manner, and wherein the biological information acquisition system further comprises a pressure adjustment part which adjusts, through the channel formation part, a volume of a fluid inside the bag to adjust a pressure applied to the finger of the subject. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)
