Electrode belt of heart rate monitor
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An electrode belt of a heart rate monitor, the electrode belt comprising:
- at least one electrode for measuring heart rate information, an electronics unit for processing the heart rate information received from the at least one electrode, at least one supporting structure having a wavelike shape provided with alternating ridges, the alternating ridges defining a pleated inner surface, for placement against the body of a wearer of the electrode belt, and a pleated outer surface opposite the inner surface, and a conductor for providing electrical contact between the electronics unit and the at least one electrode, the conductor being supported by the supporting structure and following the shape of the supporting structure, thus having a wavelike form.

Abstract
An electrode belt of a heart rate monitor, the electrode belt comprising one or more electrodes for measuring the heart rate on the chest, an electronics unit for handling the information to be received from the electrode, a conductor for providing electrical contact between the electronics unit and the electrode, at least one wavelike supporting structure provided with alternating upwards and downwards directing sections and intended for protecting the conductor. The conductor of the electrode belt follows the shape of the supporting structure, thus having a wavelike form.
