Health management cuff
First Claim
1. A health management cuff comprising;
- a strand having first and second terminal ends,a plurality of beads retained on said strand for movement along said strand between said first and second terminal ends,a dividing segment disposed along said strand dividing said strand into opposing strand sections and providing a difference in resistance to movement of said beads along said opposing strand sections from said dividing segment, thereby retaining said plurality of beads on one of said opposing strand sections.

Abstract
A cuff (10, 110, 210, 310) for a health managing system includes a strand (14, 114, 214, 314) having first (16, 116, 216, 316) and second (18, 118, 218, 318) strand sections interconnected to define a loop (128, 228, 328). A plurality of beads (30, 130, 230, 330), each presenting a numerical or a non-numerical value, are slidably retainable and movable along the strand (14, 114, 214, 314). A pair of curved resilient members (38, 138, 238, 338) are interconnected with the first (16, 116, 216, 316) and second (18, 118, 218, 318) strand sections by fasteners (50, 150) to form a strand segment or compressible mechanical device (36, 136, 336) for providing a difference in resistance to movement of the beads (30, 130, 230, 330) along the first (16, 116, 216, 316) and second (18, 118, 218, 318) strand sections than along the device (36, 136, 336). Alternatively, the strand segment may include a magnetic section (263) disposed between the first (216) and second (218) strand sections.
