Abstract

In a blood pressure monitor, when a main unit is mounted on a mounting surface such as a desk, a bulging region of a first tube and a bulging region of a second tube, both located at a rear surface of the main unit, come into contact with the mounting surface. This can avoid the main unit from sliding even when the main unit is pulled by the first and second tubes. Consequently, a blood pressure monitor has a configuration in which the main unit is less likely to slide over the mounting surface even when the main unit is pulled by tubes connected to the main unit.

Claims (18)

1. A blood pressure monitor comprising:

a main unit configured to be mounted on a mounting surface and comprising a front surface and a rear surface;

a manual pressurizing mechanism;

a cuff configured to be wound around a subject's predetermined body section;

a first tube connecting said main unit and said manual pressurizing mechanism; and a second tube connecting said main unit and said cuff,

wherein at least one of said first tube and said second tube comprises a bulging region boated at the rear surface of said main unit that is configured to come into direct contact with said mounting surface to prevent the main unit from sliding over the mounting surface.

2. The blood pressure monitor according to claim 1 ,

wherein a first plug over which said first tube is fitted fixedly and a second plug over which said second tube is fitted fixedly are provided at said rear surface of said main unit, and

wherein said first plug and said second plug are arranged at said rear surface of said main unit such that a first bulging region is formed by fitting said first tube over said first plug and a second bulging region is formed by fitting said second tube over said second plug.

3. The blood pressure monitor according to claim 1 ,

wherein a first plug over which said first tube is fitted fixedly and a second plug over which said second tube is fitted fixedly are provided at said rear surface of said main unit, and

wherein said first tube and said second tube are fixed at said rear surface of said main unit such that a portion of said first tube fitted over said first plug to extend from said first plug and a portion of said second tube fitted over said second plug to extend from said second plug come into contact with said mounting surface.

4. The blood pressure monitor according to claim 1 , wherein said first tube and said second tube have a thickness larger than or equal to about 0.5 mm.

5. A blood pressure monitor comprising:

a main unit configured to be mounted on a mounting surface and comprising a front surface and a rear surface;

a cuff configured to be wound around a subject's predetermined body section; and

a tube connecting said main unit and said cuff,

wherein said tube comprises a bulging region located at the rear surface of said main unit that is configured to come into direct contact with said mounting surface to prevent the main unit from sliding over the mounting surface.
