Abstract
A blood pressure monitor including a manually operable pressurizer is disclosed. The blood pressure monitor may include a cuff configured to apply a pressure to a target portion of a body of a user, a pressurizer, a depressurizer, and a sensor to measure a blood pressure. The pressurizer may include a rotator, and be configured to supply a fluid to the cuff, to cause the cuff to apply the pressure, through rotation of the rotator caused by an external rotational force applied to the blood pressure monitor to rotate the rotator. The depressurizer may be configured to reduce the applied pressure applied by the cuff to the target portion.
Claims6
A blood pressure monitor, comprising:
- a band configured to cover a target portion of a body of a user and configured to apply pressure to the target portion through movement of a constrictor device of the band;
- a pressure adjuster configured to wind, using a support axis, the constrictor device in a first direction by an external force manually applied to the blood pressure monitor, and maintain, using a rotary damper, a rotation speed of the support axis in a second direction when the application of the external force ceases, to control the applying of the pressure to the target portion;
- and
- a sensor configured to measure a pressure of the target portion.
