Abstract

A portable medical device has a medical measuring apparatus and an elastic mounting portion. The medical measuring apparatus has a body. The body has a mounting mechanism. The elastic mounting portion is arched, adapted to be mounted around a subject'"'"'s wrist or arm and has two edges and an attaching mechanism. The two edges are opposite to each other and define a gap for placement of the subject'"'"'s wrist or arm. The attaching mechanism detachably engages the mounting mechanism of the body of the medical measuring apparatus. Thus the portable medical device is convenient for daily use and for carrying on a subject by simply mounting around the subject'"'"'s wrist or arm by the elastic mounting portion.

Claims

1. A portable medical device comprising

a medical measuring apparatus adapted to monitor a subject'"'"'s physical state and having

a body having

a mounting surface;

and

a mounting mechanism formed on the mounting surface; and

a sensor connected to the body;

an elastic mounting portion connected to the medical measuring apparatus, adapted to be mounted around a subject'"'"'s wrist or arm and having

two edges opposite to each other and defining a gap for placement of a subject'"'"'s wrist or arm via the gap;

an attaching surface formed between the two edges;

an attaching mechanism mounted on the attaching surface and detachably engaging the mounting mechanism of the body of the medical measuring apparatus.

2. The portable medical device of claim 1, wherein the elastic mounting portion has

an elastic outer layer , extending between the two edges and having the attaching surface and an inner surface opposite to the attaching surface;

and

an elastic inner layer, extending between the two edges and securely attached to the inner surface of the outer layer.

3. The portable medical device of claim 2, wherein

the elastic mounting portion further has a turning segment;

the outer layer extends across the turning segment; and

the inner surface of the outer layer has a concavity formed on the inner surface corresponding to the turning segment.

4. The portable medical device of claim 2, wherein

the mounting mechanism has

multiple mounting holes formed on the mounting surface of the body;

and

the attaching mechanism has

at least one first hook formed at the attaching surface of the outer layer, and selectively engaging one of the mounting holes and having an end edge; and

at least one second hook formed on the attaching surface of the outer layer, and selectively engaging one of the mounting holes and having an end edge; and

the end edges of the first and second hooks respectively extend toward opposite directions.

5. The portable medical device of claim 4, wherein the at least one second hook selectively retracts into the inner layer.

6. The portable medical device of claim 4, wherein

the mounting mechanism further has

multiple positioning recesses formed on the mounting surface of the body;

and

the attaching mechanism further has
