LOAD SENSOR FOR MEASURING MUSCULUS ORBICULARIS ORIS AND LIP COVER THEREFOR

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a load sensor for measuring musculus orbcularis oris and a lip cover therefor, with which the musculus orbicularis oris can stably be measured and the management on a sanitation can be simplified. SOLUTION: The load sensor consists of: an annular distortion generation member notched partially; a pair of sensing beams projecting outward from a notched part of this distortion generation member; and a distortion detection member which is mounted to the distortion generation member to convert a distortion amount of the distortion generation member to an electric signal. The lip cover is provided with an engagement part to be engaged with the sensing beams of the load sensor. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
