A measuring device is provided that suppresses wrinkle generation. The measuring device includes a body and a cover to be attached to the body. The body includes a grip and also includes a sensor portion. A fixation portion is formed at an upper surface of the grip. The sensor portion includes a measuring portion disposed at a distal end thereof and a connection portion that connects between the measuring portion and the grip. A sensor is disposed in the measuring portion. In the measuring device, an angle between (1) a reference plane comprising the measurement surface and (2) a tangent line drawn between the fixation portion and the body as viewed in a direction that is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction and that is parallel to the reference plane, is 50 degrees or less.

Measuring device with wrinkle suppression

An oral tool is provided that includes a body and a measurement unit. The measurement unit is disposed in a movable configuration with respect to the body, and includes a sensor unit at an end opposite to an end where the body is disposed. The sensor unit is constructed to be inserted into a mouth. The end of the measurement unit opposite to the end where the sensor unit is disposed is disposed inside the body. The oral tool includes a stress reliever disposed between the measurement unit and the body at a portion where the measurement unit changes a distance from the body while moving.

Oral tool

A measuring device is provided with an improved contact property of a measuring surface of a sensor with respect to a surface of a target object. The measuring device includes a main body and a probe that has a head section at the distal end thereof and an arm section connecting the head section to the main body. The head section has a support portion, a measuring portion, and a coupling portion. The support portion is connected to the distal end of the arm section. The measuring portion has a first surface at which a measuring surface of a sensor is exposed and a thickness with the first surface as a datum plane. The coupling portion is disposed between and couples the measuring portion and the support portion. The coupling portion has a first connection portion connected to the measuring portion and a through hole.

Measuring device

An oral tool is provided that includes a body, a measurement unit, and a flow stopper. The measurement unit is moveable relative to the body, and includes a sensor unit at an end opposite to an end where the body is disposed. The sensor unit is constructed to be insertable into a mouth. Moreover, the flow stopper is disposed between the measurement unit and the body, and has a surface with a curvature different from a curvature of a surface of the measurement unit.

A measuring device is provided for reducing the occurrence of damage to a sensor section. The sensor section includes a substrate, a pair of comb electrodes on a first principal surface, and a pair of back-side electrodes disposed on a second principal surface and corresponding to the pair of comb electrodes, respectively. The pair of comb electrodes includes a plurality of tooth sections and connection sections that connect the tooth sections to each other, respectively. The substrate includes via-hole conductors in positions corresponding to the tooth sections inside a region surrounded by the outer tooth sections on opposite ends in a direction in which the tooth sections in the pair of comb electrodes are aligned and the connection sections. The via-hole conductors connect the comb electrodes and the back-side electrodes.

A cover for covering an oral device that includes a first sheet member made of a first resin, and a second sheet member made of a second resin and facing the first sheet member, wherein when a first direction is a direction along a surface of the first sheet member and a second direction is a direction along the surface of the first sheet member and orthogonal to the first direction, the first sheet member and the second sheet member are joined to each other in a bag shape so as to define an opening at a first side in the first direction. A protruding portion protrudes from the second sheet member and past an outer edge of the first sheet member at the opening in the first direction.
