Abstract
A cuff mechanism for use with a blood pressure measuring apparatus which comprises a flexible band, accommodating a cuff within the same wrappable (windable) in a cylindrical roll about an arm of a human body, and an air cylinder as a pulling means for pulling the band to tightly compress the band about the arm operated by pressurized air supplied in common with an air bag disposed in the band from an air supplying means. The flexible band is provided with, on occasion, a plurality of cross cuts formed on both sides thereof for better adaptation to the shape of an arm, and the air cylinder is sometimes pivoted to a stationary member swingably with a pin for being variable in the pulling direction of the band for better adaptation of the band to an arm of ununiform thickness and of irregular surface.
