Abstract
A pinch device for detecting a biomedical signal which pinches a measuring site of a living body in order to detect a biomedical signal, includes a pair of body members which are opposed to each other, said body members being rotatably coupled to each other via a shaft portion, a movable member mounted to a tip end of one of said paired body members so as to be rotatable, and said movable member having a contact face opposed to another contact face which is formed at a tip end of another one of said paired body members, and a spring member urging said contact face of said movable member and said other contact face of said body member which is opposed to said movable member, in an approaching direction.
Claims4
A pinch device for contacting a site of a living body, comprising:
- a pair of body members which are opposed to each other, said body members being rotatably coupled to each other via a shaft portion;
- a movable member mounted to a tip end of one of said paired body members through a spherical rotation shaft so as to be rotatable in any direction, and said movable member having a contact face opposed to another contact face which is formed at a tip end of another one of said paired body members;
- and
- a spring member urging said contact face of said movable member and said other contact face of said body member which is opposed to said movable member, in an approaching direction.

- a spring member urging said contact face of said movable member and said other contact face of said body member which is opposed to said movable member, in an approaching direction;
- a light emitting device connected to one of said contact faces for emitting light through a body portion;
- and
- a photo-detecting device connected to the other of said contact faces for detecting said transmitted light said body portion, wherein
- said detected transmitted light corresponds to the biomedical signal.
