PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a probe support which can bring the distal end section of a probe into contact with a measured area at a proper pressure, and enables an in-vivo component measurement with a good accuracy to be performed, and to provide a probe device utilizing the characteristics of the probe support, and to provide an in-vivo component measuring apparatus.SOLUTION: This probe support 1 is equipped with a frame body 10 of which the cross sectional shape seen from the end surface in the longitudinal direction is an approximately trapezoidal shape, and makes the lower surface of the frame body 10 as a contact surface 11 which is brought into contact with a subjects living body A. At the center part of the contact surface 11, one end of a hole section 12 having a circular cross section which internally houses a cylindrical skin contact element 20 of the probe 2 and guides the movement in the vertical direction is opened. Also, the hole section 12 incorporates a baffle plate 16 which vertically moves by being screwed with a screw 15 for adjustment in the vertical direction from outside of the frame body 10. The upper surface position of the skin contact element 20 of the probe 2 is restricted by the position of the lower surface of the baffle plate 16, so that a projecting amount of the contact surface 21 is fixed.COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT【課題】測定部位にプローブの先端部を適切な圧力で接触させることができ、精度良い生体内成分測定を可能とするプローブ支持具と、このプローブ支持具の特徴を生かしたプローブ装置及び生体内成分測定装置を提供することにある。【解決手段】プローブ支持具1は長手方向の端面から見た断面形状が略台形の枠体10を備え、この枠体10の下面を被験者の生体Aに接触させる接触面11としている。接触面11の中央部には、プローブ2の円柱状皮膚接触体20を内部に収納して上下方向の移動をガイドする断面円形の穴部12の一端が開口している。また穴部12内には枠体10の外部から調整用ねじ15を上下方向に螺進することで上下に移動する調整板16が設けられ、この調整板16の下面位置によってプローブ2の皮膚接触体20の上面位置を規制して接触面21の突出量を固定するようになっている。【選択図】図1
