Abstract

A heart rate monitor assembly includes a data processing unit which includes a case in which a data processor and a power supply device are received. The case includes two L-shaped holes and two conductive plates are received in the case and located in the two L-shaped holes and connected to the data processor. A belt has two connection ends and each connection end has an L-shaped connector which is removably engaged with the L-shaped hole corresponding thereto and connected to the two conductive plate.

Claims

1. A heart rate monitor assembly comprising:

a data processing unit having a case in which a data processor and a power supply device are received therein, the case including two L-shaped holes defined in a top surface and an end thereof;

a belt having two connection ends and each connection end including a conductive portion and an outer layer, a connector connected to each of the connection ends, the conductive portion adapted to be in contact with a user'"'"'s skin, and

two conductive plates connected to the data processor and located in the two L-shaped holes, the connectors of the two connection ends being L-shaped connectors so as to be removably inserted into the two L-shaped holes to be in contact with the conductive plates.

2. The assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein the case includes a chamber defined in a rear side thereof and the processor is accessible from the chamber, the power supply device is received in the chamber which is sealed by a cover.

3. The assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein the belt has two end members .on two distal ends thereof and the two connectors respectively extend from the two end members, each end member includes a boss extending from an end surface thereof, the case includes two notches defined in the two ends thereof such that the two bosses are engaged with the two notches when the two connectors are inserted into the two L-shaped holes of the case.

4. The assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein the two conductive plates each are an L-shaped plate which has a first end fixed to the data processor by bolts and a second end of each L-shaped conductive plate extends into the L-shaped hole corresponding thereto.

5. The assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein each L-shaped hole is composed of a first hole communicating with one of the two ends of the case and a second hole communicating with the top surface of the case, the two conductive plates each are an L-shaped plate, which has a first end fixed to the data processor by bolts and a second end of each L-shaped conductive plate extends into the second hole of the L-shaped hole corresponding thereto, each of the L-shaped connectors is composed of a first section and a second section, the first section is engaged with the first hole and second section is engaged with the second hole, the second end of each conductive plate is located at an inside of the second hole and close to the end of the case so as to be in contact with the second section of the connector.
