Embodiment 1

[0107] On a sheet 3 made of low-density polyethylene, four square holes measuring 13 mm x 13 mm are arranged in the same image 3 The position corresponding to the part "2" in the middle area. Four square conductive sheets 2 with a size of 15 mm×15 mm were cut in the thickness direction from a conductive nonwoven web (thickness 0.3 mm) made of commercially available polyester / paper. The outer periphery of each square conductive sheet made of conductive nonwoven net 2 utilizes adhesive or heat sealing to be fixed on each square hole of sheet material 3 made of low-density polyethylene, thereby obtaining a Figure 5 Cover slips for the structures shown. The resistance value of the square conductive sheet made of the conductive nonwoven net 2 along the thickness direction is 400 to 500 ohms.

[0108] The workbench of a body composition measuring device named MC-180 purchased from the applicant was covered with this cover sheet, and the body fat of the subject was measured. For...

Embodiment 2

[0110] A commercially available conductive urethane foam sheet (5 mm thick without compression, 0.3 mm thick at 40 kg weight) was used instead of the square conductive sheet made of conductive nonwoven mesh 2, and repeated Same operation as in Example 1. The resistance value along the thickness direction of the square conductive mesh 2 is several ohms.

[0111] Cover slips were evaluated in the same manner as in Example 1. In this case the measurement results can be used without compensation.

Embodiment 3

[0113] Using a fabric made of conductive polyamide fibers as the square conductive sheet of the conductive nonwoven web 2, the same operation as in Example 2 was repeated. The resistance value along the thickness direction of the square conductive mesh 2 is several ohms.

[0114] Cover slips were evaluated in the same manner as in Example 1. In this case the measurement results can be used without compensation.

Abstract

A cover sheet (1) used in a body measuring apparatus having electrodes for supplying current to human body or for measuring a difference in electrical potential between two sites of the body. The cover sheet has electric conductive area portions (2) corresponding to the electrodes of the body measuring apparatus and having a electric conductivity in thickness direction, and insulation area portions (3) spacing adjacent electric conductive area portions (2) and having electrically insulating property at least along a plane direction. The cover sheet is used to prevent cross-infection and can be used safely without slip and prepared cheaply without affecting to impedance, with assuring completely insulation between adjacent electrodes. Conductivity is created with conductive solid ("dry type") or conductive liquid ("wet type"). The cover sheet is fed automatically by a sheet dispenser.

Description

[0001] The patent application of the present invention is a divisional application of an invention patent application with an application date of February 14, 2008, an application number of 200810005653.3, and an invention title of "cover sheet for body measuring equipment and its automatic sheet distribution device". technical field [0002] The invention relates to a cover sheet for use in body measuring devices or weight measuring devices equipped with electrodes for supplying an electric current to a human body or for measuring a potential difference between two parts of the body. [0003] More particularly, the present invention relates to a cover slip used in a "body composition measuring device" that measures body impedance using body impedance technology, and an automatic dispensing device for the cover slip. [0004] The invention further relates to a "cover magazine" comprising a plurality of cover magazines detachably connected to or stacked with each other, and a ki...
