PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a biological information collecting apparatus capable of collecting stable biological information by preventing imbalance in the amount of expansion in an action-receiving body caused by difference on the site to receive the action from a subject, and uniforming the amount of expansion of the action-receiving body.SOLUTION: A biological information collecting device 1 for collecting biological information of a subject includes: an action-receiving body 2 which has an internal space capable of holding a prescribed fluid and whose internal pressure varies by receiving an external action from the subject and a pressure detecting part 3 for detecting variation of the internal pressure. The action-receiving body 2 includes a plurality of cells 21a- 21e consecutively set in a straight line, and connection parts 22a-22d connecting adjacent cells to each other. The cross-sectional area of each connection part 22a-22d is narrower than the cross-sectional area in the direction of the straight line of the cells 21a-21e, and each connection part has a constricted part (a part excluding a seal part 221) through which the fluid in the adjacent cells can flow.COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT【課題】 被験者からの作用を受ける部位の違いによって生じる被作用体における膨張量の片寄りをなくし、被作用体の膨張量を均一化させることで、安定した生体情報を収集可能な生体情報収集装置を提供する。【解決手段】 被験者の生体情報を収集する生体情報収集装置1であって、所定の流体を保持可能な内部空間を有し、被験者からの外的な作用を受けて内圧が変動する被作用体2と、内圧の変動を検知する圧力検知部3と、を備え、被作用体2は、直線状に連設され、それぞれ流体を保持可能な内部空間を有する複数のセル21a~21eと、隣接するセル同士を連結させる連結部22a~22dと、を備え、連結部22a~22dは、セル21a~21eの前記直線方向に沿った断面積よりも断面積が狭く、隣り合うセル内の流体が流通可能な絞り部(シール部221を除く部分)を有する構成としてある。【選択図】 図1
