PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a pulse wave meter excellent in versatility that can accurately measure a pulse wave and is excellent in wearing feelings.SOLUTION: In a pulse wave meter 10, a rotation pad 40 is provided with a surface 50 for a fingertip and a surface 52 for an earlobe, and by the rotation of the rotation pad 40, the surface 50 and surface 52 are positioned at a measuring position facing a photoelectronic sensor 12. A pulse wave of a fingertip can be measured by inserting the fingertip between the surface 50 for a fingertip and a base 14, and a pulse wave of an earlobe can be measured by holding the earlobe between the surface 52 for an earlobe and the base 14. In this way, by rotating the rotation pad 40, the fingertip measurement and the earlobe measurement can be switched. Also, a distance between the surface 50 for a fingertip or the surface 52 for an earlobe and the base 14 corresponds to the thickness of the fingertip or the earlobe respectively so that the pulse wave can be measured accurately, and excellent wearing feelings can be acquired.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1COPYRIGHT: (C)2017,JPO&INPIT【課題】汎用性に優れ、脈波を正確に計測すると共に装着感に優れた脈波計を提供する。【解決手段】脈波計10では、回転パッド40に指先用面50と耳たぶ用面52を備え、回転パッド40を回転させることによって、光電センサ12に対向する計測位置に位置決めする。指先用面50と基台14との間に指先を挿入することにより指先の脈波を計測すると共に、耳たぶ用面52と基台14との間で耳たぶを挟持して耳たぶの脈波を計測することができる。このように、回転パッド40を回転することによって指先の計測と、耳たぶの計測を切り換えることができる。また、指先用面50又は耳たぶ用面52と基台14との距離は、それぞれ指先又は耳たぶの厚さに対応したものとされているため、脈波を正確に計測できると共に装着感に優れる。【選択図】図1
