Abstract
In order to increase the chances of acquiring biological information from a haired living organism, an electrode instrument includes: a belt configured to fit the electrode instrument to a living organism; a projection projecting from the belt; and an electrically conductive cloth disposed on a surface of the projection or in a vicinity thereof to function as a part of an electrode.
Claims9
1:
- An electrode instrument that acquires biological information, the instrument comprising:
- a fitting device configured to fit the electrode instrument to a living organism;
- a projection projecting from the fitting device;
- and
- electrically conductive fiber disposed on a surface of the projection or in a vicinity thereof to function as a part of an electrode.
2 more elements
2:
- The electrode instrument according to claim 1, wherein the electrically conductive fiber is implanted in the surface of the projection.
3:
- The electrode instrument according to claim 1, wherein:
- the projection includes a first projection and a second projection positioned to cover the first projection;
- the second projection is elastic and has the electrically conductive fiber disposed on a surface thereof;
- and
- the first projection and the second projection form a gap therebetween.
2 more elements
4:
- The electrode instrument according to claim 1, wherein the electrically conductive fiber is shaped as a piece of cloth covering the projection.
5:
- The electrode instrument according to claim 1, the projection comprising a plurality of projections projecting in different directions.
6:
- The electrode instrument according to claim 1, the projection comprising an array of projections.
7:
- The electrode instrument according to claim 6, the array of projections comprising a first array of projections and a second array of projections, wherein the projections in the first array project in a different direction than the projections in the second array.
8:
- The electrode instrument according to claim 1, wherein the projection(s) has/have such hardness that the projection(s) does/do not deform when pressed onto the living organism.
9:
- A biological information measuring device comprising the electrode instrument according to claim 1.
