DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a body fat meter, and more particularly to a body fat meter and a thermometer which are measured with bare feet on a bioelectrical impedance measuring electrode plate provided on a platform of a weight scale.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a medical examination or the like in a school, a company, a community, or the like, the measurement of the body fat amount (including body weight) and the measurement of the body temperature of a subject are performed separately using respective instruments. I was

[0003]

The conventional measurement of body fat mass (body weight) and measurement of body temperature, which are performed separately by using respective instruments, required a double time.

[0004]

Means for Solving the Problems An electrode plate for voltage detection is provided on a portion of the body fat meter on which the heel rests, and an electrode plate for current supply is provided on a portion on which the metatarsal bone rests. The subject is placed on or close to the current-supplying electrode plate of a body fat meter that calculates the body fat mass by measuring the impedance between both feet while the subject rests barefoot on this electrode plate. A body temperature measurement sensor is provided so as to contact the sole or toes of the examiner.

[0005]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION A base, a weight measuring sensor provided on the base, a mounting table attached to the weight measuring sensor, and a pair of feet of a subject arranged on an upper surface of the mounting table. A body temperature measurement sensor is disposed on a body fat meter equipped with an electrode plate for measuring impedance, on the electrode plate on which the subject stands barefoot or at a position where the foot of the subject can be in contact with the subject. I do.

The body temperature measurement sensor may be of a type that comes into contact with the sole of the subject or a type that is sandwiched between toes. When the body temperature measurement sensor is made of a conductive material, it is needless to say that the body temperature measurement sensor is insulated from the electrode plate (conductive material) for impedance measurement by an insulator.

[0007]

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an embodiment of a body fat meter with a body temperature measurement function of the present invention. Table of body fat meter (6)
Is made of resin, and on the upper surface, a display unit (4) for weight, body fat mass, body temperature, etc., setting knobs (2) for the subject's body type, gender, age, height, etc., for measuring impedance between both feet The current supply electrode plates (3) and (3) are located at positions where the heels of both feet do not contact each other, and the voltage detection electrode plates (5) and (5) are located at positions where the metatarsal portions of both feet do not contact each other. It is arranged at a distance from the board.

[0008] Body temperature measuring sensors (1), (1) for measuring the body temperature of a subject sandwiched between the toes of both feet are provided substantially at the distal ends of the current supply electrode plates (3), (3). Are arranged at positions between the toes of the toes. The body fat meter can, of course, measure the weight. The body temperature measurement sensor may be of a type that contacts the sole of the foot.

[0009]

[Function] Become barefoot, turn on the power of the body fat meter (not shown), input the required subject data with the setting knob, and place the heel on the voltage detection electrode plate (5). When placed on the platform with the body temperature measurement sensor sandwiched between the toes, the body weight is measured by a weight measurement sensor (not shown) incorporated in the body fat meter, and the voltage detection electrode plate ( 5)
The impedance is measured by a device such as the power supply electrode plate (3) and the like, the fat mass in the body is calculated, and the body temperature is measured by the body temperature measuring sensor in contact between the toes.

[0010]

EFFECT OF THE INVENTION By placing a sensor for measuring body temperature at a position where a sole (including a toe portion) of a body rest is placed on a body fat meter which measures the impedance between both feet by becoming barefoot, the body weight is increased. , Body fat mass and body temperature can be measured at the same time, and the examination time at the time of a health check or the like can be shortened.
