Abstract

A biological information detection device has a main body portion, a biological signal detection portion formed integrally with the main body portion, a mounting portion for detachably mounting the main body portion and the biological signal detection portion to a human body, and an engagement portion for detachably mounting the main body portion to the mounting portion. The biological signal detection portion has electrodes configured to be brought into contact with a biological surface of the human body. The engagement portion includes first connecting members protruding from respective opposite sides of the main body portions at positions corresponding to the electrodes, and second connecting members extending from respective end portions of the mounting portion for detachable engagement with the respective first connecting members.

Claims (25)

1. A biological information detection device comprising:

a device main body;

a biological signal detection portion formed integrally with the device main body, the biological signal detection portion having electrodes configured to be brought into contact with a biological surface of a human body;

a fixing portion formed in a belt shape for fixing the device main body and the biological signal detection portion to the human body; and

an engagement portion for detachably mounting the device main body to the fixing portion, the engagement portion comprising first connecting members protruding from respective opposite sides of the device main body at positions corresponding to the electrodes and second connecting members extending from respective end portions of the fixing portion for detachable engagement with the respective first connecting members,

wherein the fixing portion includes at least an elastic strap and a non-elastic belt connected to at least one end of the elastic strap in a long-side direction of the fixing portion; and wherein the non-elastic belt is configured to cover the biological signal detection portion and to be detachably mounted on the device main body through the engagement portion.

2. The biological information detection device according to claim 1 , further comprising a displacement regulation portion provided between the belt and the biological signal detection portion for regulating a relative positional displacement therebetween.

3. A biological information detection device comprising:

a device main body;

a biological signal detection portion formed integrally with the device main body, the biological signal detection portion having electrodes configured to be brought into contact with a biological surface of a human body;

a fixing portion formed in a belt shape for fixing the device main body and the biological signal detection portion to the human body; and

an engagement portion for detachably mounting the device main body to the fixing portion, the engagement portion comprising first connecting members protruding from respective opposite sides of the device main body at positions corresponding to the electrodes and second connecting members extending from respective end portions of the fixing portion for detachable engagement with the respective first connecting members,

wherein the fixing portion comprises an elastic strap and a non-elastic belt interconnected between the elastic strap and the device main body via the engagement portion.

4. The biological information detection device according to claim 3 , wherein the first connecting members comprise two pairs of arms extending from respective opposite sides of the device main body; and wherein the second connecting members are provided at respective end portions of the non-elastic belt for detachable engagement with the respective pairs of arms.

5. The biological information detection device according to claim 3 , wherein the electrodes comprise a pair of electrodes extending from the respective opposite sides of the device main body; and wherein the first connecting members comprise two pairs of arms extending from the respective opposite sides of the device main body, one of the pair of arms extending along respective opposite sides of one of the pair of electrodes and the other of the pair of arms extending along respective opposite sides of the other of the pair of electrodes.

6. The biological information detection device according to claim 5 , wherein the non-elastic belt comprises a pair of non-elastic belt sections disposed so as to cover the respective electrodes.

7. The biological information detection device according to claim 3 , wherein the electrodes are not directly connected to the fixing portion.

8. The biological information detection device according to claim 3 , further comprising a displacement regulation portion for regulating displacement of relative positions between the non-elastic belt and the biological signal detection portion.

9. The biological information detection device according to claim 8 , wherein the non-elastic belt comprises non-elastic belt sections; and wherein the displacement regulation portion comprises convex portions provided on respective ones of the electrodes and the non-elastic belt sections and hole portions formed on respective ones of the other of the electrodes and the non-elastic belt sections.

10. A biological information detection device comprising:

a main body portion having two pairs of first connecting members protruding from respective opposite sides thereof;

a biological signal detection portion having a pair of electrodes that extend from the respective opposite sides of the main body portion along respective directions of extension of the first connecting members, the pair of electrodes being configured to be brought into contact with a biological surface of a human body to detect a biological signal of the human body; and

a mounting portion for removably mounting the main body portion and the detection portion to the human body, the mounting portion having second connecting members disposed at respective end portions thereof for detachable engagement with the respective first connecting members of the biological signal detection portion, wherein the mounting portion comprises an elastic strap and a non-elastic belt interconnected between the elastic strap and the main body portion via the first and second connecting members.

11. The biological information detection device according to claim 10 , wherein the first connecting members comprise two pairs of arms extending from respective opposite sides of the main body portion; and wherein the second connecting members are provided at respective end portions of the non-elastic belt for detachable engagement with the respective pairs of arms.

12. The biological information detection device according to claim 10 , further comprising a displacement regulation portion for regulating displacement of relative positions between the non-elastic belt and the biological signal detection portion.
