BLOOD PRESSURE MANOMETER

摘要

The invention relates to a blood pressure manometer comprising a housing which receives components such as a manometer, a display unit and the like, a cuff which is connected to the housing and is positioned around a limb, a cuff storage element in which a section of the cuff can be retracted in order to adjust the width of the cuff, and a cuff tightener which pulls the cuff section into the cuff storage element with a pre-determined tractive force. According to the invention, the cuff tightener comprises a pre-tensioned spring drive and a detachable withdrawal blocking element which prevents the cuff from withdrawing counter to the spring drive. Said spring drive causes the cuff to automatically tighten with a pre-determined force, ensuring reproducible measuring results. According to another advantageous aspect of the present invention, the cuff storage element and the cuff tightener are integrated into the housing or can be engaged in a locking manner therewith. Preferably, the cuff storage element can receive an end of the cuff and can be embodied as a closing element which can be detachably locked to the housing. An automatic switch-on mechanism switches the appliance on as soon as the cuff storage element is locked to the housing when the cuff is positioned on the limb.
