An article of apparel is disclosed that includes a base portion for contacting a hand and a protective portion for providing cushioning for the hand. Seams that join the various elements of the base portion are located away from the portion of the apparel that contacts the palmar surface of the hand, thereby enhancing comfort. In addition, the base portion forms a pocket between the first and second digits that receives a portion of the protective portion, thereby decreasing peak compressive loads on the hand and between the first and second digits.

A finger weight that is functional. A normal sized, weighted sphere is attached to an end of a cylinder-shaped body. The weighted sphere and body has a hard particulate material to provide a resistance transfer through the body. A flattened surface and groove are provided in both the implement and the assistive implement. The flattened surface of the implement of the body half distant from the sphere is cinctured in the groove by an adhesive resinous strip to the non-palmar surface of the distal finger digit. The flattened surface along the entire length of the assistive implement is cinctured in the groove by an adhesive resinous strip to the proximal interphalangeal joint. The operation of the finger weight is extending and flexing the distal finger digit while restricting the extending and flexing of the proximal interphalangeal joint.

A glove that provides improved comfort, flexibility, and safety while a wearer participates in workout activities, such as weight training, indoor/outdoor cycling, Pilates, racquetball, as well as others. Particularly, the glove provides for improved wicking of perspiration, improved range of mobility of the hand, and a more comfortable fit. While donned, the glove does not interfere with jewelry, such as rings worn by the wearer, and the glove's construction reduces pinching the wearer on the palmar surface at the knuckle joints. The glove of the present invention also provides for a securing mechanism with less bulk, reduced latching effort, reduced noise associated with unlatching the closure mechanism, and a resistance against damaging other articles of clothing.

A sphygmomanometer according to the present disclosure includes a main body that is mounted with a pump and is to be disposed on a dorsal surface of a wrist and a cuff that is to be attached around the wrist. The cuff extends along a circumferential direction of the wrist from an ulnar side end portion of the main body to a palmar surface and is set to a length covering an ulnar artery or a length covering a radial artery beyond the ulnar artery of a wrist having a preset maximum wrist circumference. A fluid is supplied from the pump to the cuff to press the wrist. A blood pressure is calculated based on a pressure of the fluid contained in the cuff.

The invention discloses a pulse pressing clip for a finger, which is used for treating blood collection of finger ends. The pulse pressing clip for the finger consists of a clip body (1) parallel to a jaw, a spring (2), inner side convex cross grain elastic plastic (3), outer side concave cross grain elastic plastic (4), a finger ring (5) and a rope (6). In the scheme, the inner side convex elastic plastic (3) at the jaw is designed according to finger end vessel anatomy characteristics and can form pressure areas in palmar surface and back surface venous return areas of the finger to effectively prevent peripheral blood return of the finger, so that blood is collected smoothly, the pain of a blood-collected person is reduced, and the physical labor of blood collection personnel is reduced; the friction between an operator and a blood collection extruded finger is reduced by the outer side concave cross grain elastic plastic (4); and the finger ring (5) makes the operator conveniently wear the pulse pressing clip in a hand, so that taking and placing frequencies and pollution are reduced.

The invention discloses strand-rolling structural units and a simulated manual hollow vermicelli strand making machine equipped with the strand-rolling structural units. The strand-rolling structural units include strand-rolling boards and dynamic component units. The strip-rolling boards reciprocate along a straight line driven by the dynamic component units. The shape of the contact surface between the strand-rolling boards and vermicelli imitates a human palmar surface in a rolling operation. The simulated manual hollow vermicelli strand making machine provided by the invention really realizes the replacement of manual operation by mechanical operation through the development of a mechanical structure. The replacement is mainly reflected by replacing two major processes necessary for manually preparing hollow vermicelli by a combination of a first strand-rolling structural unit and a second strand-rolling structural unit. The machine really simulates the manual strand-rolling operation, also guarantees the taste of the simulated manual hollow vermicelli and not only improves work efficiency but also reduces salt addition to the vermicelli due to the improved work efficiency so as to meet the healthy diet requirement of modern people.
