Abstract

A living body data detector equipped with a fitting belt which does not deviate in position, does not fall down and does not press the chest even when taking exercise while fitting it on is provided. A living body data detector comprises a fitting belt having a pair of shoulder belt portions that is, a left shoulder belt portion and a right shoulder belt portion, a pair of electrode portions attached to the fitting belt, and a living body signal detector portion connected to the pair of electrode portions through connection cables, and attached to the fitting belt. The left shoulder belt portion and the right shoulder belt portion are forming an intersected coupling portion on the back side of the user. A living body signal detector portion is attached to the intersected coupling portion. The left shoulder belt portion is provided with an expansion portion and a separable coupling means, and the right shoulder belt portion is provided with an expansion portion and a separable coupling means.

Claims

1. A living body data detector comprising:

a fitting belt having a left shoulder belt portion and a right shoulder belt portion;

two electrode portions respectively attached to the left shoulder belt portion and to the right shoulder belt portion; and

a living body signal detector portion electrically connected to the pair of electrode portions and attached to the fitting belt, wherein

the left shoulder belt portion has a shoulder pad belt portion and an armpit pad belt portion which are coupled together at the ends on one side thereof by separable coupling means on the chest side;

the right shoulder belt portion has a shoulder pad belt portion and an armpit pad belt portion which are coupled together at the ends on one side thereof by separable coupling means on the chest side;

the ends at the other side of the shoulder pad belt portion and the armpit pad belt portion of the left shoulder belt portion are coupled to the ends on the other side of the shoulder pad belt portion and the armpit pad belt portion of the right shoulder belt portion on the back side to form a belt-coupling portion;

the two electrode portions are attached to the shoulder pad belt portions of the left shoulder belt portion and the right shoulder belt portion on the chest side; and

the living body signal detector portion is attached to belt-coupling portion.

2. The living body data detector according to claim 1;

wherein expansion portions are provided for the armpit pad belt portions of the left shoulder belt portion and the right shoulder belt portion.

3. The living body data detector according to claim 1;

wherein length-adjusting means are provided for the shoulder pad belt portions of the left shoulder belt portion and the right shoulder belt portion for adjusting the lengths thereof.

4. A living body data detector comprising:

a fitting belt having a left shoulder belt portion and a right shoulder belt portion;

two electrode portions respectively attached to the left shoulder belt portion and to the right shoulder belt portion; and

a living body signal detector portion electrically connected to the pair of electrode portions and attached to the fitting belt, wherein

the fitting belt includes the left shoulder belt portion and the right shoulder belt portion which are coupled together by a separable coupling means, and is fitted to the human body forming a ring in a coupled state and forming a crossed belt intersection portion on the back side;

the two electrode portions are attached to the shoulder pad belt portions of the left shoulder belt portion and the right shoulder portion on the chest side; and

the living body signal detector portion is attached to either one of the two electrode portions on the front side.

5. The living body data detector according to claim 4;

wherein the separable coupling means is provided for the shoulder pad belt portion of either the left shoulder belt portion or the right shoulder belt portion.

6. The living body data detector according to claim 4;

wherein an expansion portion is provided for the shoulder pad belt portion of either the left shoulder belt portion or the right shoulder belt portion.

7. The living body data detector according to claim 4;

wherein length-adjusting means is provided near the separable coupling means for adjusting the length of the fitting belt.
