Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A blood pressure measurement device includes a curler that curves to follow a circumferential direction of a site of a living body where the curler is attached, and a cuff. The cuff includes a plurality of bag-like structures layered on one another, each of the plurality of bag-like structures being elongated in one direction, formed by welding two sheet members formed of a resin material, and configured to be inflated with a fluid, and a joined portion provided on at least a portion of an edge portion of the bag-like structure disposed facing the curler, the joined portion being formed by a portion of the sheet members constituting the bag-like structure disposed facing the curler and joined to an outer circumferential surface side of the curler.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A blood pressure measurement device comprising: a curler that curves to follow a circumferential direction of a site of a living body where the curler is attached; and a cuff including a plurality of bag-like structures layered on one another, each of the plurality of bag-like structures being elongated in one direction, formed by welding two sheet members formed of a resin material, and configured to be inflated with a fluid, and a joined portion provided on at least a portion of an edge portion of the bag-like structure disposed facing the curler, the joined portion being formed by a portion of the sheet members constituting the bag-like structure disposed facing the curler and joined to an outer circumferential surface side of the curler, wherein a region where the bag-like structure is inflated is disposed on an inner circumferential surface of the curler, and a welded portion of the two sheet members of the bag-like structure is disposed on a side surface of the curler. 2 . The blood pressure measurement device according to claim 1 , wherein the joined portion is provided on each edge portion of the bag-like structure in a lateral direction. 3 . The blood pressure measurement device according to claim 1 , further comprising: a joining layer provided between the joined portion and the curler and configured to join the joined portion and the curler. 4 . The blood pressure measurement device according to claim 3 , wherein the joining layer is further provided between the bag-like structure and the inner circumferential surface of the curler. 5 . The blood pressure measurement device according to claim 3 , wherein the joining layer is double-sided tape. 6 . The blood pressure measurement device according to claim 2 , wherein the joined portion provided at each edge portion of the bag-like structure in the lateral direction is layered on the outer circumferential surface side of the curler and integrally joined. 7 . The blood pressure measurement device according to claim 6 , wherein the joined portions being layered are joined by welding. 8 . The blood pressure measurement device according claim 2 , wherein the bag-like structure has a width in the lateral direction greater than or equal to a width of the curler in the lateral direction. 9 . The blood pressure measurement device according to claim 1 , wherein the joined portion is formed by one of the sheet members at an area facing the outer circumferential surface of the curler.
