First Claim
1. A sphygmomanometer comprising:
- a main body having thereon display means for indicating the blood pressure detected thereby;
an arm engaging resilient retainer connected to a bottom wall of the main body for retaining such main body in positive arm engaging disposition on a single arm of the user, said arm engaging resilient retainer being curved to be arcuate in cross section to be adapted to the arm, said arm engaging resilient retainer further being formed with a plurality of circumferentially extending slits which divide the end portions on both sides of the retainer into a plurality of resilient wings capable of flexing relatively freely;
a wrap-around cuff carried by said retainer and provided with an inflatable bag which extends along the circumference of the inside of said resilient retainer and which incorporates therein a sound sensor, said sound sensor being connected to the display means; and

Abstract
An easy adaptable sphygmomanometer having display means for indication of the user'"'"'s blood pressure is disclosed herein. The sphygmomanometer comprises a main body having thereon the display means, an arm engageable resilient retainer connected to the underside of the main body for retaining such main body in positive arm engaging disposition on a single arm of the user, and a wrap-around cuff carried by the retainer and provided with an inflatable bag which extends along the interior circumference of the retainer. The arm engaging resilient retainer is curved to be arcuate in cross section so as to insure a friction fit engagement with the arm, whereby the main body can be retained in place until the final or complete fitting of the cuff around the arm of the user. Accordingly, the display means on the main body will not require any further adjustment of its position and can be kept at a prominent position to be easily observed by the user oneself, rendering the instrument ready for measuring the user'"'"'s own blood pressure.
