Abstract

In a blood pressure measurement device, a force acts on one end side and the other end side of a cuff main body in a direction where an inner diameter of a tubular form is further reduced, so that a rotation shaft rotates in a clockwise direction thus simultaneously moving the one end side and the other end side of the cuff main body. As a result, the inner diameter of the tubular form of the cuff main body can be reduced, and the cuff main body can be easily and rapidly wrapped around the upper arm with only the pushing task using one hand. Thus, the blood pressure measurement device provides a simple device configuration that enables the cuff to be easily wrapped around the measurement target site even for those with crippled hands.

Dependent claims

A blood pressure measurement device comprises a cuff with an air bag that compresses an artery of a measurement target site, and that is used by attachment to a site to be measured at the time of measurement, wherein the cuff comprises:

a cuff main body comprising a band-like form in a developed state that is rounded to a tubular form so that one end side and another end side overlap each other to receive the measurement target site from an axial direction;
and
an engagement rotation member arranged at a position sandwiched by the one end side and the other end side at a position where the one end side and the other end side of the cuff main body overlap each other with the rounded cuff main body, and arranged to be rotatable in a direction where an inner diameter of the tubular form is reduced or in a direction where the inner diameter is enlarged while engaging with the one end side and the other end side of the cuff main body,
wherein the cuff main body comprises a flexible member for that maintains the tubular form when the cuff main body is rounded.
