PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a biological information detecting device which can reliably detect biological information by appropriately arranging a biological detecting sensor in association with a constitution of an elastic member for supporting a living body.SOLUTION: In a device which detects biological information by arranging a long, biological detecting sensor 2 in an elastic member 1 for supporting a living body and pressing the living body against the biological detecting sensor in such a manner to make contact, the elastic member is configured in such a manner that flexibility of a part for supporting an intermediate part 2a of the biological detecting sensor is greater than that of parts for supporting both end parts 2b, 2b. For example, for the elastic member, a sheet base material 1a used for the part for supporting the intermediate part is made of a material that is softer than a sheet base material 1b used for the part for supporting both end parts. Alternatively, the elastic member has a void (a concave part or a cut) on a back face side of the part for supporting the intermediate part of the biological detecting sensor.COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT【課題】生体を支持する弾性部材の構成との関連において生体検知センサを適切に配置し、生体情報を確実に検出し得る生体情報検出装置を提供する。【解決手段】生体を支持する弾性部材1に長尺の生体検知センサ2を配置し、これに生体を押接して生体情報を検出する装置において、弾性部材は、生体検知センサの中間部2aを支持する部分の可撓性が両端部2b,2bを支持する部分の可撓性より大である。例えば、弾性部材として、中間部を支持する部分に用いられるシート母材1aが、両端部を支持する部分に用いられるシート母材1bより柔軟な素材とされる。あるいは、弾性部材は、生体検知センサの中間部を支持する部分の裏面側に空隙(凹部または切欠)を有する。【選択図】図1
