A pad tray includes a base portion and a recessed region that is formed in the front side of the base portion and is for accommodating an electrode pad, the recessed region having a bottom region and a sidewall region that extends up from the bottom region and is provided so as to surround the electrode pad.

Pad tray for accomodating an electrode

A body fat measurement device includes hand electrodes that contact both hands, back area electrodes that contact the surface of a trunk area of the back, foot electrodes that contact both feet, a trunk area width detection unit for measuring the width and depth of the trunk area, a body impedance measurement unit that measures the body impedance of a body using the multiple electrodes and a body fat mass calculation unit that calculates a body fat mass based on the body impedance and the width and depth of the trunk area. The back area electrodes that make contact with the surface of the back of the trunk area are provided in a fitting unit in an exposed state, as well as the trunk area width detection unit. Accordingly, a body fat measurement device can measure a body fat mass easily and accurately in a household or the like.

Body fat measurement device

A visceral fat measuring device is capable of simply and noninvasively measuring a visceral fat amount, by calculating the visceral fat amount based on trunk measurement information, impedance information of the entire trunk, and impedance information of a surface layer of the trunk. The visceral fat measuring device includes: a belt to be wound around the trunk that has a pressing member with electrodes E to be pressed onto the dorsal side of a person subjected to measurement; a pair of belt portions respectively fixed to both sides of the pressing member; a buckle for connecting the pair of belt portions; and indicators on the pair of belt portions to show distances from a reference position of the belt.

A body fat measurement device includes: hand electrodes that make contact with both hands; back area electrodes that makes contact with the surface of the back area side of the trunk area; foot electrodes that make contact with both feet; a body impedance measurement unit that measures a body impedance in a body using these multiple electrodes; and a body fat mass calculation unit that calculates a body fat mass based on the body impedance measured by the body impedance measurement unit. The foot electrodes that make contact with both feet are provided on a platform unit in an exposed state, and the hand electrodes that make contact with both hands and the back area electrodes that make contact with the surface of the back area side of the trunk area are all provided on a fitting unit in an exposed state.

A body fat measurement device includes multiple electrodes, a trunk area width detection unit for measuring a trunk area width and a trunk area depth, a body impedance measurement unit that measures a body impedance of a body using the multiple electrodes, and a body fat mass calculation unit that calculates a body fat mass based on the measured body impedance and the trunk area width and trunk area depth. A frame-shaped fitting unit in which the trunk area width detection unit is provided and that is capable of being disposed so as to surround a measurement subject's trunk area can be mounted on and removed from a platform unit in which foot electrodes are provided, and is stored within the platform unit during a stored state.

To provide a trunk width measuring unit capable of improving reliability of measurement precision, and a visceral fat measuring device. The trunk width measuring unit is provided with a first contact portion to be brought into contact with an upper surface of a trunk of a user in a supine position, a second contact portion to be brought into contact with one of side surfaces of the trunk, a third contact portion to be brought into contact with the other side surface of the trunk, and a trunk width calculating unit for calculating vertical width and horizontal width of the trunk from height from an upper surface of a bed to a contact position of the first contact portion and a distance between the second contact portion and the third contact portion.

Trunk width measuring unit and visceral fat measuring device

A trunk width measuring unit including a first contact portion attached movably in the vertical direction relative to a unit main body, the first contact portion to be brought into contact with an upper surface of a trunk of a subject, second and third contact portions attached movably in the horizontal direction relative to the unit main body, a vertical width detection encoder for detecting a lowering distance of the first contact portion from an original position on the upper side of the trunk of the user to a contact point with the upper surface of the trunk, and a horizontal width detection encoder attached movably in the horizontal direction relative to the unit main body by the same distance as a moving distance of the second contact portion, the horizontal width detection encoder detecting a moving distance of the third contact portion relative to the second contact portion.

A contact is provided for connection of a shielded wire. The contact is formed from a strip of metal bent generally in a U-shape, at least two pairs of elastic projections with a sharp piercing ends formed on the strip, and at least one end of the U-shaped portion forming a wire-retaining portion. The first pair of projections is biased outwardly and the second pair is biased inwardly.

Disclosed in a powered crimping tool for crimping a metallic terminal upon a wire lead for accomplishing both electric and mechanical connection therebetween, comprising: a casing having a die member attached thereto; an electric motor having an output shaft; a reduction unit for reducing the rotational speed of the output shaft of the electric motor, having a rotating output end; and a mechanism such as a slider crank mechanism for converting the rotary motion of the output end of the reduction unit into a rectilinear motion of a crimping punch member which cooperates with the die member. The casing which is shaped an elongated box accommodates a die member and a punch member at an longitudinal end thereof and an electric motor at the other longitudinal end thereof, a reduction unit being disposed therebetween. This powered crimping tool can be made light enough to be used on a desk top or held by the hand of the user.
