DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3 for a glove type physiological measuring apparatus of the present invention, the apparatus includes a glove body 10 made of any material and worn on a user's hand, and the glove body 10 has an electric connecting base 11 disposed on an area corresponding to the back of the user's hand and a physiological measuring apparatus 20 connected to the glove body 10. The physiological measuring apparatus 20 is used for measuring various physiological phenomena of a human body, and the surface of the physiological measuring apparatus 20 includes a display screen 21 for displaying the measured values, and an electric connecting member 22 disposed on the physiological measuring apparatus 20 is inserted into the electric connecting base 11 for an electric connection. Further, the glove body 10 has an opening 12 disposed at an area corresponding to any finger (which is the index finger for this embodiment). The opening 12 includes an electric connecting base 13 disposed at its periphery and an adhesive tape 14 disposed on a side of the electric connecting base 13, and another end of the adhesive tape 14 is adhered onto an adhering area 15 at another side of the electric connecting base 13. Further, the opening 12 installs a biosensor 30 therein (this embodiment adopts a light detector for detecting the pulse of a human body), and the biosensor 30 includes an electric connecting member 31 thereon, and the electric connecting member 31 is inserted into the electric connecting base 13 around the periphery of the opening 12 for an electric connection. An adhesive tape 14 is covered onto the opening 12 for covering and fixing the biosensor 30. Further, the biosensor 30 is electrically coupled to the physiological measuring apparatus 20 through an electric circuit 16 woven in the glove body 10, so that a user can wear the apparatus more conveniently and clean the apparatus more easily.


Referring to FIG. 4, an adhering member 18 is disposed on the glove body 10 at an area corresponding to a palm (in this embodiment, a sticker or an adhesive tape is fixed onto the back of a hand). Further, the physiological measuring apparatus 20 includes an adhering body 23 disposed thereunder (a sticker or an adhesive tape is used in this embodiment), such that the physiological measuring apparatus 20 can be attached onto the adhering member 18 through the adhering body 23 and fixed onto the surface of the glove body 10.


Referring to FIG. 5 for s second preferred embodiment of the present invention, the glove body 10 includes an opening 12 disposed at an area corresponding to a finger, and the openings 12 separately contain a light transmitter 40 and a light receiver 50 coupled to the physiological measuring apparatus 20 for measuring the concentration of blood oxygen. Alternatively, an opening 17 corresponding to a finger (which is a ring finger in this embodiment) other than the one corresponding to the opening 12 of the glove body 10 is disposed at an area corresponding to that finger. The biosensor 60 installed in the opening 17 is used for measuring the physiological phenomena of a human body, and the biosensor 60 can work together with the physiological measuring apparatus 20 for measuring a body temperature and the like.


In summation of the description above, the glove type physiological measuring apparatus of the invention features a simple structure and a high precision, so that users can examine their physical conditions anytime, and then make appropriate adjustments to take good care of their health conditions. The present invention provides a feasible solution, and a patent application is duly filed accordingly.


However, it is to be noted that the preferred embodiments disclosed in the specification and the accompanying drawings are not intended to limit the invention. To the contrary, it is intended to cover various modifications and similar arrangements and procedures, and thus the scope of the appended claims should be accorded the broadest interpretation so as to encompass all such modifications and similar arrangements and procedures.
