ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a health watch which has various functions such as atmospheric air thermometer, body. thermometer, cardiac beat meter, displaying of beating sound waves, cardiac beating sounds, blood pressure meter and the like.
2. Description of the Prior Art
The conventional wrist watch has the function of displaying time only.
If individual people want to measure the body temperature, the cardiac beats, or the blood pressure, then they have to procure body thermometers, cardiac beat meters, and blood pressure meters. Further, as to the atmospheric temperature, it can be measured only by an atmospheric air thermometer.
The conventional digital wrist watch contains a high function IC counting element, and displays the current time in numerals.
The IC counting element has various functions such as data calculations, data memorizing, and data withdrawing. Unfortunately, however, the functions are limited to time, and the functions are not applied to other fields.
Further, as the material welfare is promoted, more and more people are becoming concerned with their health. Accordingly, various health checking devices are developed and commercialized, so that people can check their health without going to hospitals.
Generally, the electronic digital body thermometer, the cardiac beat meter, the blood pressure meter and the like contain the same IC counting element, but each of them has to be procured separately. That is, they all have the same basic structure, but all of them have to be procured separately, with the result that the economical burden becomes heavy, as well as being troublesome to procure them. Further, the health devices are bulky, and therefore, their handling and storing are inconvenient.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is intended to overcome the above described disadvantages of the conventional technique.
Therefore it is an object of the present invention to provide a health watch which is based on the principle that an electronic digital watch contains a data arithmetic IC element, and that blood vessels pass through the wrist so as to make it possible to check the health, thereby checking the health state by measuring the body temperature, the cardiac beats, the blood pressure and the like to audibly and visually know the health state.
In achieving the above object, the health watch includes an electronic digital watch containing a plurality of known IC counting elements, and the health watch includes: a plurality of display windows arranged on a face of a case of the health watch, the display windows consisting of an atmospheric temperature display window, a body temperature display window, a time display window, a cardiac beat rate display window, a blood pressure display window, and a cardiac beat wavelength display window, and a plurality of IC counting elements being provided to the display windows respectively; a cardiac beating sound speaker formed on one side of the case; a thin and long rubber tube installed on a back face of a band of the case; a body temperature sensor installed on a back face of the case; and a cardiac beat sensor installed on the rubber tube, whereby data of the sensors are inputted and outputted to and from the IC counting elements.
In this manner, one digital health watch can display the atmospheric temperature, the body temperature, the cardiac beat, the cardiac beating sounds, the cardiac beating wavelength, the blood pressure and the like, so that the user can know them audibly and visually.
