APPARATUS FOR SELECTIVELY ATTACHING PHYSIOLOGICAL SENSOR POD TO DIFFERENT TYPES OF WEARABLE APPAREL, AND WEARABLE APPAREL INCLUDING THE SAME

摘要

An apparatus selectively attaches a physiologic sensor pod to an article of apparel or clothing, wherein the sensor pod includes a housing having a top surface, a bottom surface, a peripheral surface, and a groove extending around the peripheral surface. In an embodiment, the apparatus comprises an elastic ring having an inner circumference slightly smaller than an outer circumference of the groove in the outer circumference of the sensor pod. The apparatus can also include a slit extending from an outer circumference of the elastic ring toward, but not all the way to, the inner circumference of ring, wherein a portion of fabric is insertable into the slit, at which point, a peripheral portion of the elastic ring can be sewn or otherwise attached to the fabric. In another embodiment, the adaptor includes a support ring adapted to be sewn to the elastic ring with a portion of fabric therebetween.
