PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a blood pressure measuring device allowing a user to easily wear a cuff at an accurate position.SOLUTION: A sphygmomanometer is provided with an angle sensor 14 on the cuff to detect an angle formed by an air bag 13. The sphygmomanometer defines a straight line formed by connecting the artery to the angle sensor 14, when the angle sensor 14 located at a substantially central position of the air bag 13 is positioned immediately above the artery, as a reference, and determines whether an angle &theta1 formed between a straight line which connects the artery to the angle sensor 14 and the reference is within a threshold or not. The determination is made before measuring the blood pressure and is displayed. Therefore, the user can appropriately wear the cuff while seeing the display before the measurement and after that, performs the measurement.COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT【課題】ユーザが、容易に正確な位置にカフを装着することのできる血圧測定装置を提供する。【解決手段】血圧計は、カフに角度センサ14を備えて、空気袋13のなす角度を検出する。空気袋13の略中央位置にある角度センサ14が動脈直上にあるときの動脈と角度センサ14とを結ぶ直線を基準とし、カフ装着時の角度センサ14からの信号より、動脈と角度センサ14とを結ぶ直線が上記基準からなす角度θ1がしきい値内にあるか否かを判断する。血圧測定前に上記判断がなされ、表示される。従って、ユーザは、測定前に表示を見てカフを適切に装着することができ、その後、測定を行なうことができる。【選択図】図7
