Abstract
Abstract A device for use in measuring blood pressure comprises a cuff which is windable around the portion of a body and a clamp fastener for maintaining the cuff in the wound position during use. The fastener has a box shaped outer part and a box shaped inner part which is moveable therein perpendicular to the longitudinal access thereof and has slots in its end faces for receiving a pressure rod about which the cuff is looped. A sound pickup is disposed in the pressure chamber of the cuff and is connectable to a display instrument via an air tube.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
161 words
A device for use in measuring blood pressure comprising: a cuff which is windable around a portion of a body and clamp fastening means for maintaining the cuff in the wound position during use comprising a box-shaped outer part having an open side wall parallel to the longitudinal axis of the outer part and a box-shaped inner part which is movable therein perpendicularly with respect to the longitudinal axis of the outer part and has slots in the end faces thereof perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the outer part, a pressure rod fastened to two opposite sides of the outer part and arranged to pass through the slots in the end faces of the inner part to be parallel to the longitudinal axis of the outer part, and the cuff being fixed to a side face of the inner part parallel to the longitudinal axis of the outer part and looping the pressure rod in the manner of a hairpin.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
161 words
A device for use in measuring blood pressure comprising: a cuff which is windable around a portion of a body and clamp fastening means for maintaining the cuff in the wound position during use comprising a box-shaped outer part having an open side wall parallel to the longitudinal axis of the outer part and a box-shaped inner part which is movable therein perpendicularly with respect to the longitudinal axis of the outer part and has slots in the end faces thereof perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the outer part, a pressure rod fastened to two opposite sides of the outer part and arranged to pass through the slots in the end faces of the inner part to be parallel to the longitudinal axis of the outer part, and the cuff being fixed to a side face of the inner part parallel to the longitudinal axis of the outer part and looping the pressure rod in the manner of a hairpin.
