Abstract
Abstract A sphygmomanometer aid includes a housing containing an electronic circuit including circuitry for sensing and indicating pulse sounds of a person whose blood pressures are to be measured and a board member pivotally connected to the housing and including structure for supporting a manometer gauge. The board member is set at the open position relative to the housing when in use, and receives and fixedly supports the manometer gauge, whereby a non-electronic sphygmomanometer can be used as an electronic blood pressure measuring device.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
166 words
An auxiliary device for use with a conventional non-electronic sphygmomanometer of the type including an inflatable bladder which is wrapped around the arm of a patient and a manometer gauge connected to the inflatable bladder, said auxiliary device being employable with such conventional non-electronic sphygmomanometer for the electronic measurement of blood pressures of the patient, said auxiliary device comprising: a housing containing an electronic circuit including means for sensing and indicating pulses of a patient; a board member pivotally connected to said housing and movable with respect thereto between a closed position and an open inclined position; said board member including means for supporting a manometer gauge of a conventional non-electronic sphygmomanometer at an inclined orientation when said board member is in said open position; electronic transducer means, electrically and flexibly attached to said electronic circuit, for sensing pulses of the patient; and said transducer means having integral therewith means for attaching said transducer means to a cuff of an inflatable bladder of a conventional sphygmomanometer.
