PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an automatic take-up measuring tape for children, enabling even a doctor other than a pediatrician to appropriately determine the quantity of medicines to be dosed to a child patient and the size, etc. of a tracheal tube to be inserted into the trachea upon critical care in children.SOLUTION: A measuring tape 20 of the automatic take-up measuring tape for children 1 is made of a fabric and formed in the shape of a band whose width is approximately 4 cm and whose length is about 200 cm. Most of the measuring tape is housed in a housing 10 in the wound state. The measuring tape 20 has a height scale for measuring the height of children, a child age entry column, a child weight entry column, a child medical instrument information entry column and a child drug amount information entry column. An automatic take-up device includes a button 31, a spring and a rotary member. The rotary member is rotated with the biasing force of the spring, and by automatically winding the measuring tape 20 around the rotary member, the measuring tape 20 can be automatically retracted into the housing 10.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】小児の救命救急処置に際して小児科医でなくても小児患者へ投与する薬剤の量や、気管へ挿入する気管チューブのサイズ等を適切に決定することができる小児計測用自動巻取り式巻尺の提供。【解決手段】小児計測用自動巻取り式巻尺1の巻尺20は布製であり、幅が略4cmの帯状をなし長さは200cm程度である。その大部分は回転部材に巻回された状態でハウジング10内部に収容されている。巻尺20は、小児の身長を計測するための身長目盛りと小児年齢値欄と小児体重値欄と小児医療機器情報欄と小児薬量情報欄と空欄とを有している。自動巻取り装置は、ボタン31とバネと回転部材と有し、バネの付勢力により回転部材が回転し、後述の巻尺20を回転部材の周囲に自動的に巻回することにより自動的に巻尺20をハウジング10内に引込むことができる。【選択図】図1
