     DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS 
       [0042]    Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. 
       Embodiment 1 
       [0043]      FIG. 1  shows biological information detection sensor feeding apparatus  1 . A user of biological information detection sensor feeding apparatus  1  is a nurse in a hospital, for example. Biological information detection sensor feeding apparatus  1  has body case  2  molded in an approximately cuboidal shape, and feeding stage  4  provided on the upper surface of the front-end side of body case  2 . A biological information detection sensor (for example, blood glucose sensor  3 ) is fed to feeding stage  4 . 
         [0044]    Operating lever  5  is provided at the rear side of body case  2 . By an operation of operating lever  5 , blood glucose sensors  3  can be fed to feeding stage  4  one by one. 
         [0045]    As shown in  FIG. 2 , blood glucose sensor  3  is stored in strip-shaped sensor feeding film  6 . Sensor feeding film  6  includes strip-shaped holding film  7  and strip-shaped covering film  8  that covers a surface of holding film  7 . 
         [0046]    Blood glucose sensor  3  is stored between strip-shaped holding film  7  and strip-shaped covering film  8 . That is, on the surface of holding film  7 , multiple (in the embodiment,  200 ) blood glucose sensors  3  are arranged at a predetermined interval along the longitudinal direction of holding film  7 . The longitudinal direction of stored blood glucose sensors  3  is orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of holding film  7 , but is not particularly limited. 
         [0047]    On the surface of holding film  7 , discrimination information is indicated in the vicinity of each blood glucose sensor  3 . The discrimination information is, for example, the holding number of each blood glucose sensor  3 . The holding numbers, which are given in the arrangement order of blood glucose sensors  3 , may be in the descending order (for example, from 200 to 1), or may be in the ascending order (for example, from 1 to 200). 
         [0048]    At both ends in the direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of sensor feeding film  6 , there are provided feed guide holes  9  for feeding a predetermined length of sensor feeding film  6  to feeding stage  4  in  FIG. 1 . 
         [0049]      FIG. 3A  is a cross-sectional diagram of biological information detection sensor feeding apparatus  1  when body case  2  is viewed in the lateral direction;  FIG. 3B  is an enlarged cross-sectional diagram of biological information detection sensor feeding apparatus  1  when the principal part around feeding stage  4  of body case  2  is viewed in the lateral direction; and  FIG. 4  is a perspective diagram of biological information detection sensor feeding apparatus  1  when body case  2  is viewed from the upper surface side. 
         [0050]    As shown in  FIG. 3A , a roll of sensor feeding film  6  is stored in storage section  10  provided in the interior of body case  2 . Storage section  10  only has to be positioned near the center of the interior of body case  2 . Preferably, sensor feeding film  6  is loosely wound in a roll so that blood glucose sensor  3  held in sensor feeding film  6  is not damaged. 
         [0051]    As shown in  FIG. 3A  and  FIG. 4 , the roll of sensor feeding film  6  is disposed such that the unwinding direction of the roll is oriented to feeding stage  4  in the vicinity of the front-end of body case  2 . As shown in  FIG. 3A , sensor feeding film  6  is fed to feeding stage  4 . In sensor feeding film  6  to be fed, holding film  7 , blood glucose sensor  3  and covering film  8 , from the bottom in the drawing, are sequentially laminated. 
         [0052]    Feeding stage  4  is connected with guiding section  4   a . Guiding section  4   a  is a board within body case  2 , and is positioned between storage section  10  and feeding stage  4 . Guiding section  4   a  is a board for guiding sensor feeding film  6  to feeding stage  4 . 
         [0053]    Cylindrical pressing pulley  11  is disposed above guiding section  4   a  in the vicinity of storage section  10 . The axial length of pressing pulley  11  is greater than the short-directional width of sensor feeding film  6 . Thereby, pressing pulley  11  can press the whole of the short-directional width of sensor feeding film  6  onto guiding section  4   a.    
         [0054]    In the interior of body case  2 , cylindrical separating pulley  12  is provided above guiding section  4   a  in the vicinity of feeding stage  4 . Separating pulley  12  separates covering film  8  from sensor feeding film  6 . The separated covering film is returned upward and subsequently rearward, and through cylindrical guiding pulleys  13 ,  14  and cylindrical driving reel  15 , is wound by winding reel  16 . As understood from  FIG. 4 , the axis-directional lengths of separating pulley  12 , guiding pulleys  13 ,  14  and driving reel  15  are longer than the short-directional width of sensor feeding film  6 . 
         [0055]    Thus, blood glucose sensor  3  uncovered on the surface of holding film  7  is fed to feeding stage  4 . The board area of feeding stage  4  is greater than the area of blood glucose sensor  3 . Thereby, blood glucose sensor  3  can be stably held on feeding stage  4 . Blood glucose sensor  3  held on feeding stage  4  is obtained by a user. 
         [0056]    As shown in  FIG. 3A , in the interior of body case  2 , cylindrical returning pulley  17  is provided downstream of feeding stage  4  (downstream side in the feeding direction of sensor feeding film  6 ). Holding film  7  of sensor feeding film  6  is returned downward and subsequently rearward by returning pulley  17 , and through cylindrical guiding pulleys  18 ,  19  and cylindrical driving reel  20 , is wound by winding reel  21 . The axial lengths of returning pulley  17 , guiding pulleys  18 ,  19  and driving reel  20  are longer than the short-directional width of sensor feeding film  6 . 
         [0057]    Driving projections  15   a ,  20   a  are provided at both ends respectively of driving reels  15 ,  20 . Driving projections  15   a ,  20   a  engage with feed guide holes  9  provided at both ends of sensor feeding film  6 . Driving reels  15 ,  20  are coupled with operating lever  5 . 
         [0058]    Thus, a winding mechanism for covering film  8  of sensor feeding film  6  is constituted by operating lever  5 , winding reel  16 , driving reel  15 , guiding pulleys  14 ,  13  and separating pulley  12 . A winding mechanism for holding film  7  of sensor feeding film  6  is constituted by operating lever  5 , winding reel  21 , driving reel  20 , guiding pulleys  19 ,  18  and returning pulley  17 . The winding mechanism for covering film  8  and the winding mechanism for holding film  7  are constituent members of the feeding section that feeds a biological information detection sensor. 
         [0059]    Winding reel  16  that constitutes the winding mechanism for covering film  8  is provided so as to be connected with driving reel  15 , and has a slipping clutch mechanism. Winding reel  21  that constitutes the winding mechanism for holding film  7  is provided so as to be connected with driving reel  20 , and has a slipping clutch mechanism. 
         [0060]    The clutch mechanisms of winding reels  16 ,  21  are general slipping clutch mechanisms, and therefore, detailed descriptions thereof are omitted and an example thereof is shown in  FIG. 5 . Winding reel  16  shown in  FIG. 5  has reel spindle  22 . Gear  23  is provided at one end of reel spindle  22 , and spring retainer  24  is provided at the other end. Around reel spindle  22 , coil spring  25  is attached in a compression state. 
         [0061]    Furthermore, around reel spindle  22 , reeling part  26  is attached through coil spring  25 . By coil spring  25 , the gear  23  side end of reeling part  26  is pressed onto gear  23  through slipping member  27  composed of felt. When winding load with a predetermined value or more is applied to reeling part  26 , reeling part  26  slips on slipping member  27  and winding reel  16  runs idle. 
         [0062]    Winding reel  16  is connected with driving reel  15  by gear  23  (see  FIG. 3A ), and winding reel  16  is configured to rotate 1.2 cycles when driving reel  15  rotates 1 cycle. Thereby, the rotation amount of winding reel  16  is more than the rotation amount of driving reel  15 . However, since the slipping clutch mechanism of winding reel  16  allows winding reel  16  to appropriately run idle, winding reel  16  can appropriately wind covering film  8  to which an appropriate tension is given. 
         [0063]    Winding reel  21  to wind holding film  7  can be configured in the same manner as winding reel  16 . Accordingly, winding reel  21  can appropriately wind holding film  7  to which an appropriate tension is given. 
         [0064]    Operating lever  5  is connected with driving reel  20  and driving reel  15  through a ratchet mechanism. In  FIG. 1 , only when operating lever  5  is pulled up rearward, driving reel  20  and driving reel  15  rotate in predetermined directions. The rotation amounts of driving reel  20  and driving reel  15  are set so as to correspond to the operation amount of operating lever  5 . 
         [0065]    The operation of biological information detection sensor feeding apparatus  1  having the above configuration in use will be described hereinafter. First, in  FIG. 1 , a user (for example, a nurse) holds the upper surface of the front-end side of body case  2  with the right hand, for example, and pulls up operating lever  5  rearward by a predetermined amount with the left hand. Then, corresponding to the operation of operating lever  5 , driving reel  20  rotates in a predetermined direction (see  FIG. 3A ). Similarly, driving reel  15  connected with driving reel  20  also rotates in a predetermined direction. 
         [0066]    Driving projections  15   a  of driving reel  15  transmit driving force to covering film  8 , through feed guide holes  9  of covering film  8  that engage with driving projections  15   a . Thereby, covering film  8  is unwound from storage section  10  by a predetermined amount corresponding to the operation of operating lever  5 , by the winding mechanism for covering film  8  (operating lever  5 , winding reel  16 , driving reel  15 , guiding pulleys  14 ,  13 , and separating pulley  12 ). 
         [0067]    Driving projections  20   a  of driving reel  20  transmit driving force to holding film  7 , through feed guide holes  9  of holding film  7  that engage with driving projections  20   a . Thereby, holding film  7  is unwound from storage section  10  by a predetermined amount corresponding to the operation of operating lever  5 , by the feeding section for holding film  7  (operating lever  5 , winding reel  21 , driving reel  20 , guiding pulleys  19 ,  18 , and returning pulley  17 ). 
         [0068]    That is, covering film  8  and holding film  7 , which constitute sensor feeding film  6 , are unwound by the same predetermined amount, in other words, sensor feeding film  6  is fed to feeding stage  4 . 
         [0069]    When sensor feeding film  6  is fed to feeding stage  4 , covering film  8  is peeled from holding film  7  by separating pulley  12  provided above guiding section  4   a , and then is rolled upward, Cover film  8  is subsequently returned rearward, and through guiding pulleys  13 ,  14  and driving reel  15 , is wound by winding reel  16 . 
         [0070]    Once covering film  8  is peeled from holding film  7  by separating pulley  12 , blood glucose sensor  3 , which has been sandwiched by holding film  7  and covering film  8 , is uncovered. Then, blood glucose sensor  3  uncovered on the surface of holding film  7  is fed to feeding stage  4 . 
         [0071]    As described above, feeding stage  4  is configured such that the size thereof is greater than the size of blood glucose sensor  3 . Thereby, blood glucose sensor  3  is stably held on feeding stage  4 , and does not drop out of feeding stage  4 . 
         [0072]    In order to pick up blood glucose sensor  3  fed to feeding stage  4 , for example, a user (a nurse) holds blood glucose sensor  3  with the pulp of forefinger F of the right hand, slides and moves blood glucose sensor  3  along feeding stage  4  (rightward in  FIG. 4 ), and then pulls it out to the exterior of feeding stage  4  (for example, the upper side or the lower side in  FIG. 4 ). The user pinches with the forefinger and the thumb the upper and lower sides of blood glucose sensor  3  pulled out of feeding stage  4  in this way. Thus, blood glucose sensor  3  can be stably picked up from feeding stage  4 . 
         [0073]    Particularly in the embodiment, as shown in  FIG. 3B , preferably feeding stage  4  has inclining portion  4   b  that inclines downward along the feeding direction of sensor feeding film  6 . With inclining portion  4   b , the returning pulley  17  side end of feeding stage  4  is disposed below the upper end of returning pulley  17 . That is, the upper end of returning pulley  17  protrudes above the returning pulley  17  side end of feeding stage  4 . 
         [0074]    As shown in  FIG. 3B , inclining portion  4   b  gradually inclines downward along the feeding direction of sensor feeding film  6  (as going to returning pulley  17 ); the inclination angle of inclining portion  4   b  is not particularly limited. It is desirable that the inclination angle of inclining portion  4   b  be determined such that blood glucose sensor  3  can be easily taken out, in consideration of the largeness of feeding stage  4 , the length of inclining portion  4   b , the size of the finger, the diameter length of returning pulley  17  and the like. 
         [0075]    Thereby, the user can more stably pick up blood glucose sensor  3  fed to feeding stage  4 , compared to the case where feeding stage  4  does not have inclining portion  4   b . That is, in order to pick up blood glucose sensor  3  from feeding stage  4  having inclining portion  4   b , for example, the user holds the upper surface of blood glucose sensor  3  with the pulp of forefinger F of the right hand (see  FIG. 3B ), and then, slides and moves it downward (rightward in  FIG. 4 ) along inclining portion  4   b  of feeding stage  4 . Since feeding stage  4  has inclining portion  4   b , blood glucose sensor  3  on the upper surface of feeding stage  4  is easily slid. In addition, it is possible to allow the longitudinal side end of blood glucose sensor  3  to abut against returning pulley  17  protruding above feeding stage  4 . Since the whole of the longitudinal side end of blood glucose sensor  3  is allowed to abut against returning pulley  17 , blood glucose sensor  3  can stably abut against returning pulley  17 . 
         [0076]    Thereafter, the user can pull out blood glucose sensor  3  to the exterior of feeding stage  4  (for example, the upper side or the lower side in  FIG. 4 ) along returning pulley  17 . By pinching the upper and lower sides of this pulled-out blood glucose sensor  3  with the forefinger and the thumb, it is possible to pick up blood glucose sensor  3  more steadily from the feeding stage. 
         [0077]    Furthermore, since feeding stage  4  has inclining portion  4   b , it is possible to utilize returning pulley  17  constituting the feeding stage for drop prevention of blood glucose sensor  3 , and to achieve a simplification of a configuration for drop prevention. As a result, blood glucose sensor  3  is not dropped, and it is possible to increase ease of use. 
         [0078]    Furthermore, as described above, in the embodiment, simply by pulling up operating lever  5 , blood glucose sensor  3  can be fed to feeding stage  4  one by one. As shown in  FIG. 4 , on the surface of holding film  7  fed to feeding stage  4 , the discrimination information of blood glucose sensor  3  is printed in the vicinity of blood glucose sensor  3  allowing the user to confirm (e.g., by visually) the identity of blood glucose sensor  3 . The discrimination information is, for example, the holding number (the number information of blood glucose sensor  3 ) that shows the holding order of blood glucose sensor  3 . The holding number is printed for each blood glucose sensor  3 , in the descending order (for example, from 200 to 1) or in the ascending order (for example, from 1 to 200). 
         [0079]    The nurse thus checks the holding number by visual observation when picking up blood glucose sensor  3  from feeding stage  4 , and thereby confirms the number of blood glucose sensors  3  remaining in the apparatus, thus facilitating the use of apparatus. 
         [0080]    The discrimination information printed in the vicinity of blood glucose sensor  3  is not limited to the above holding number; the discrimination information may be a code that shows the model, production lot number, usable period, destination and other information of blood glucose sensor  3 . Thereby, it is possible to increase safety in work for the blood test. 
         [0081]    In  FIG. 4  and other drawings, a rotary lever is exemplified as operating lever  5 , but operating lever  5  is not limited to a rotary lever, and may be a rotating operating lever with a handle, a sliding operating lever, or an operating button for electric operation. 
       Embodiment 2 
       [0082]      FIG. 6  shows biological information detection sensor feeding apparatus  28  according to Embodiment 2. Biological information detection sensor feeding apparatus  28  feeds blood glucose sensor  30  (an example of a biological information detection sensor) shown in  FIG. 7 , to measurer  29  that measures biological information (for example, blood glucose level). Specifically, once cubic sensor loading section  32  provided at the end of measurer  29  is attached (inserted) to sensor feeding opening  31  ( FIG. 8 ) provided at the front-end of biological information detection sensor feeding apparatus  28 , one blood glucose sensor  30  is loaded into sensor loading section  32 . The “loaded” means that blood glucose sensor  30  is electrically connected to an electric circuit of measurer  29 . 
         [0083]    Biological information detection sensor feeding apparatus  28  has approximately cuboidal body case  33 . As shown in  FIG. 8  and  FIG. 9 , at the front-end side of body case  33 , there is provided feeding opening  31  to which blood glucose sensor  30  (an example of a biological information detection sensor) is fed. 
         [0084]    As shown in  FIG. 6 , at the rear side of body case  33 , there is provided operating lever  34  for feeding blood glucose sensor  30  to feeding opening  31  one by one. 
         [0085]    As shown in  FIG. 7 , blood glucose sensor  30  is stored in strip-shaped sensor feeding film  35 . Sensor feeding film  35  is constituted by strip-shaped holding film  36  and strip-shaped covering film  37  that covers a surface of holding film  36 . 
         [0086]    Blood glucose sensor  30  is stored between strip-shaped holding film  36  and strip-shaped covering film  37 . That is, on the surface of holding film  36 , multiple (in the embodiment,  200  blood glucose sensors  30  are arranged at a predetermined interval along the longitudinal direction of holding film  36 . Thus, blood glucose sensor  30  is held while being sandwiched between holding film  36  and covering film  37 . 
         [0087]    Blood glucose sensor  30  has a thin-plate shape. Spot-application portion  38  on which blood is to be spot-applied is provided on a protruding portion provided at one end, and connecting electrodes  39  are provided from the center portion to the other side end. 
         [0088]    Feed guide holes  40  are provided at both ends in the direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of sensor feeding film  35 . Through feed guide holes  40 , driving force is transmitted to sensor feeding film  35 , and a predetermined length of sensor feeding film  35  is fed toward feeding opening  31  of body case  33 . 
         [0089]      FIG. 9  is a cross-sectional diagram of biological information detection sensor feeding apparatus  28  when body case  33  is viewed in the lateral direction.  FIG. 10  is a perspective diagram of biological information detection sensor feeding apparatus  28  when body case  33  is viewed in the overhead direction. For description of the internal mechanism,  FIG. 10  shows a state in which the upper surface of body case  33  is removed. 
         [0090]    As shown in  FIG. 9 , a roll of sensor feeding film  35  is stored in storage section  41  of body case  33 . Storage section  41  only has to be provided near the center of the interior of body case  33 . Sensor feeding film  35  is loosely wound so that blood glucose sensor  30  stored therein is not damaged. 
         [0091]    As shown in  FIG. 9  and  FIG. 10 , the roll of sensor feeding film  35  is disposed such that the unwinding direction of sensor feeding film  35  is oriented to feeding opening  31  provided at the front-end side of body case  33 . As shown in  FIG. 9 , sensor feeding film  35 , in which from the bottom in the drawing, holding film  36 , blood glucose sensor  30  and covering film  37  are sequentially laminated, is fed toward feeding opening  31 . Blood glucose sensor  30  is held on holding film  36  such that connecting electrodes  39  of blood glucose sensor  30  fed to sensor feeding opening  31  opposes sensor loading section  32 . 
         [0092]    As shown in  FIG. 9 , body case  33  of biological information detection sensor feeding apparatus  28  according to the embodiment has cuboidal sensor feeding space  42  that allows feeding opening  31  and the interior of body case  33  to communicate with each other. 
         [0093]    Sensor holding section  43  is provided at the inward side (the leftward side in  FIG. 9 , the side opposite to feeding opening  31 ) of sensor feeding space  42 . Through sensor holding section  43 , blood glucose sensor  30  is fed to sensor feeding space  42 . 
         [0094]    The length from sensor holding section  43  to feeding opening  31  of sensor feeding space  42  is greater than the length of blood glucose sensor  30  (the length from the end of the spot-application portion  38  side to the end of the connecting electrode  39  side). Thereby, the whole of blood glucose sensor  30  held by sensor holding section  43  fits within sensor feeding space  42 , and it does not protrude from feeding opening  31  of body case  33 . Therefore, blood glucose sensor  30  is not subject to a touch by a user (a nurse). 
         [0095]    As shown in  FIG. 9  to  FIG. 11 , the vicinity of feeding opening  31  in sensor feeding space  42  has a taper shape, and the opening area of sensor feeding space  42  becomes larger outward. Thereby, the sensor loading section  32  (see  FIG. 6 ) of measurer  29  is easily inserted to sensor feeding space  42 . 
         [0096]    In the inside of body case  33 , cylindrical separating pulleys  44 ,  45  are provided at a region opposite to sensor holding section  43 . Furthermore, a pair of cylindrical pressing pulleys  46 ,  47  is disposed at the inward side (storage section  41  side) of separating pulleys  44 ,  45 . Pressing pulleys  46 ,  47  have a length that is greater than the short-directional width of sensor feeding film  35 , and press the whole of the short-directional width of sensor feeding film  35 . Pressing pulleys  46 ,  47  correct peculiar windings remaining in unwound sensor feeding film  35 , and send it to the gap between separating pulleys  44 ,  45 . 
         [0097]    Separating pulleys  44 ,  45  separate sensor feeding film  35  into covering film  37  and holding film  36 . 
         [0098]    Separating pulley  44  returns covering film  37  of sensor feeding film  35  upward and subsequently rearward. Covering film  37  is wound by cylindrical winding reel  51 , through cylindrical guiding pulleys  48 ,  49  and cylindrical driving reel  50 . As understood from  FIG. 10 , the axial lengths of separating pulley  44 , guiding pulleys  48 ,  49  and driving reel  50  are greater than the short-directional width of sensor feeding film  35 . 
         [0099]    On the other hand, separating pulley  45  returns holding film  36  of sensor feeding film  35  downward and subsequently rearward. Holding film  36  is wound by cylindrical winding reel  55 , through cylindrical guiding pulleys  52 ,  53  and cylindrical driving reel  54 . The axial lengths of separating pulley  45 , guiding pulleys  52 ,  53  and driving reel  54  are greater than the short-directional width of sensor feeding film  35 . 
         [0100]    Driving projections  50   a ,  54   a  are provided at both end sides of driving reels  50 ,  54 . Driving projections  50   a ,  54   a  engage with feed guide holes  40  provided at both ends of sensor feeding film  35 . Driving reels  50 ,  54  are coupled with operating lever  34 . 
         [0101]    That is, a winding mechanism for covering film  37  of sensor feeding film  35  is constituted by operating lever  34 , winding reel  51 , driving reel  50 , guiding pulleys  49 ,  48  and separating pulley  44 . 
         [0102]    A winding mechanism for holding film  36  of sensor feeding film  35  is constituted by operating lever  34 , winding reel  55 , driving reel  54 , guiding pulleys  53 ,  52  and separating pulley  45 . 
         [0103]    Winding reel  51  has the same slipping clutch mechanism as Embodiment 1, and is connected with driving reel  50 . Winding reel  55  has the same slipping clutch mechanism as Embodiment 1, and is connected with driving reel  54 . 
         [0104]    Operating lever  34  is connected with driving reel  50  and driving reel  54  through a ratchet mechanism. Driving reel  50  and driving reel  54  rotate in predetermined directions, only when operating lever  34  is pulled up rearward (see  FIG. 6 ). The rotation amounts of driving reel  50  and driving reel  54  correspond to the operation of operating lever  34 . 
         [0105]    The operation of biological information detection sensor feeding apparatus  28  having the above configuration in use will be described hereinafter. First, a user (a nurse), for example, holds the upper surface of the front-end side of body case  33  with the right hand, and pulls up operating lever  34  rearward by a predetermined amount with the left hand (see  FIG. 6 ). Then, driving reel  50  and driving reel  54  rotate in predetermined directions by the amounts corresponding to the operation of operating lever  34  (see  FIG. 9 ). 
         [0106]    Driving projections  50   a  of driving reel  50  transmit driving force to covering film  37  through feed guide holes  40  of covering film  37 . As a result, covering film  37  is pulled out from storage section  41  to feeding opening  31  side by a predetermined amount corresponding to the operation of operating lever  34 , by the winding mechanism for covering film  37  (operating lever  34 , winding reel  51 , driving reel  50 , guiding pulleys  49 ,  48 , and separating pulley  44 ). 
         [0107]    Driving projections  54   a  of driving reel  54  transmit driving force to holding film  36  through feed guide holes  40  of holding film  36 . As a result, holding film  36  is pulled out from storage section  41  to feeding opening  31  side by a predetermined amount corresponding to the operation of operating lever  34 , by the winding mechanism for holding film  36  (operating lever  34 , driving reel  54 , guiding pulleys  53 ,  52 , separating pulley  45 , and winding reel  55 ). 
         [0108]    That is, covering film  37  and holding film  36  are pulled out to feeding opening  31  side by the same predetermined amount. In other words, sensor feeding film  35  is pulled out. Covering film  37  and holding film  36  are separated from pulled-out sensor feeding film  35  by separating pulleys  44 ,  45 . Then, one blood glucose sensor  30  stored in sensor feeding film  35  is fed to sensor feeding space  42 . 
         [0109]      FIG. 11  shows a state in which one blood glucose sensor  30  has been fed to sensor feeding space  42 .  FIG. 11  is an enlarged cross-sectional diagram of the vicinity of feeding opening  31 . In the embodiment, blood glucose sensor  30  fed to sensor feeding space  42  can be stably held by sensor holding section  43 . To describe more specifically, sensor holding section  43  has guiding opening  56  that is opened in an oblong shape. Guiding opening  56  is formed in a taper shape, in order to easily guide blood glucose sensor  30  to feeding opening  31  side. In order that blood glucose sensor  30  can be sandwiched and held at the opening portion on feeding opening  31  side in guiding opening  56 , the gap of the opening portion is nearly equal to, or slightly greater than the thickness of blood glucose sensor  30 . At feeding opening  31  side of guiding opening  56 , there is provided sandwiching section  57 , which sandwiches blood glucose sensor  30  that has been guided to guiding opening  56  and moved to feeding opening  31  side. That is, sensor holding section  43  is constituted by guiding opening  56  and sandwiching section  57 . 
         [0110]    In guiding opening  56 , the opening area of the inward side (the leftward side in  FIG. 11 , the side from guiding opening  56  to separating pulleys  44 ,  45 ) of body case  33  is greater than the opening area of the outward side (the rightward side in  FIG. 11 , the side from guiding opening  56  to feeding opening  31 ) of body case  33 . Thereby, blood glucose sensor  30  to be fed can be securely led to the interior of guiding opening  56 , and furthermore, can be appropriately guided to sandwiching section  57 . 
         [0111]      FIG. 12  and  FIG. 13  are enlarged perspective diagrams of sandwiching section  57 , viewed from feeding opening  31  side. As shown in  FIG. 12  and  FIG. 13 , sandwiching section  57  has oblong sandwiching claws  58 ,  59  opposite to each other, which are disposed such that the opposing portion between sandwiching claws  58 ,  59  is parallel to the long axis of guiding opening  56  (see  FIG. 11 ). The opposing portion between sandwiching claws  58 ,  59  corresponds to abutting portions  58   a ,  59   a  that abut against blood glucose sensor  30 . As shown in  FIG. 13 , abutting portions  58   a ,  59   a  are configured to sandwich the top and bottom surfaces of blood glucose sensor  30 . 
         [0112]    Sandwiching section  57  has rotating shafts  60 ,  61  that rotate sandwiching claws  58 ,  59 . As shown in  FIG. 11 , abutting portions  58   a ,  59   a  are disposed closer to feeding opening  31  than rotating shafts  60 ,  61 . Thereby, sandwiching section  57  sandwiches blood glucose sensor  30  at a position closer to feeding opening  31  than rotating shafts  60 ,  61 . 
         [0113]    As shown in  FIG. 12  and  FIG. 13 , rotating shafts  60 ,  61  are equipped with rotating cams  63 ,  64 , and rotate synchronously therewith. Thereby, abutting portions  58   a ,  59   a  of sandwiching section  57  can always sandwich blood glucose sensor  30  at the same position. 
         [0114]    Furthermore, rotating shaft  60  includes spring  62 . Thereby, spring  62 , rotating cam  63  and rotating cam  64  always bias sandwiching claws  58 ,  59 , and act to abut against abutting portions  58   a ,  59   a.    
         [0115]    As shown in  FIG. 11 , abutting portions  58   a ,  59   a  are disposed closer to feeding opening  31  than rotating shafts  60 ,  61 . Thereby, blood glucose sensor  30 , which advances from rotating shafts  60 ,  61  side to feeding opening  31  side (from the left side to the right side in  FIG. 11 ), can open sandwiching claws  58 ,  59 . That is, sandwiching claws  58 ,  59  do not obstruct the advance of blood glucose sensor  30 . 
         [0116]    On the other hand, if blood glucose sensor  30  tries to retract from feeding opening  31  side to rotating shafts  60 ,  61  side (from the right side to the left side in  FIG. 11 ), sandwiching claws  58 ,  59  are pulled by blood glucose sensor  30  and try to close, so that sandwiching claws  58 ,  59  strongly sandwich the upper and lower surfaces of blood glucose sensor  30 . Thereby, blood glucose sensor  30  does not retract from feeding opening  31  side to rotating shafts  60 ,  61  side (from the right side to the left side in  FIG. 11 ). 
         [0117]    When blood glucose sensor  30 , from a state shown in  FIG. 14 , is guided to guiding opening  56  and is fed to sensor feeding space  42 , sandwiching section  57  sandwiches the center portion of blood glucose sensor  30 , as shown in  FIG. 15 . In addition, by the opening portion on feeding opening  31  side in guiding opening  56 , blood glucose sensor  30  can be held by sandwiching. Thus, blood glucose sensor  30  can be held by the opening portion on feeding opening  31  side in guiding opening  56  while being sandwiched by sandwiching section  57 . Thereby, it is possible to stably keep the position of blood glucose sensor  30  fed to sensor feeding space  42 . 
         [0118]    That is, although blood glucose sensor  30  fed to sensor feeding space  42  is not held by separating pulleys  44 ,  45  anymore, sandwiching section  57  sandwiches the center portion of blood glucose sensor  30 , and guiding opening  56  holds one side of blood glucose sensor  30 . Therefore, blood glucose sensor  30  can be stably held in sensor feeding space  42 . 
         [0119]    Thereafter, as shown in  FIG. 16 , a user (a nurse) attaches (inserts) sensor loading section  32  (see  FIG. 10 ) of measurer  29  from feeding opening  31  to sensor feeding space  42 . Then, connecting electrodes  39  of blood glucose sensor  30  held in sensor feeding space  42  are mechanically and electrically connected to connector  65  in sensor loading section  32 . When inserting sensor loading section  32  to sensor feeding space  42 , sensor loading section  32  would push back blood glucose sensor  30 . However, as described above, sandwiching claws  58 ,  59  strongly sandwiches the upper and lower surfaces of blood glucose sensor  30 , and therefore blood glucose sensor  30  is not pushed back. Thereby, blood glucose sensor  30  can be appropriately connected to connector  65 . 
         [0120]    As shown in  FIG. 7 , blood glucose sensor  30  has guiding cutouts  66  provided by cutting out the end of the connecting electrode  39  side. By guiding cutouts  66 , blood glucose sensor  30  is guided to connector  65  so that connecting electrodes  39  can be appropriately connected to connector  65 . 
         [0121]    Finally, as shown in  FIG. 17 , the user (nurse) pulls out sensor loading section  32  from feeding opening  31 . In sensor loading section  32  of pulled-out measurer  29 , blood glucose sensor  30  has been loaded. 
         [0122]    When inserting sensor loading section  32  of measurer  29  to sensor feeding space  42 , sandwiching claws  58 ,  59  strongly sandwiches the upper and lower surfaces of blood glucose sensor  30 . Thereafter, by pulling out sensor loading section  32  of measurer  29  from sensor feeding space  42 , the sandwiching between sandwiching claws  58 ,  59  becomes loose and blood glucose sensor  30  is released. As a result, as shown in  FIG. 17 , blood glucose sensor  30  is securely transferred to measurer  29 . 
         [0123]    Naturally, connector  65  of sensor loading section  32  is configured to connect with connecting electrodes  39  of blood glucose sensor  30  while being pressed thereon, when blood glucose sensor  30  is inserted to sensor loading section  32 . This stabilizes the electric connecting condition between connector  65  and connecting electrodes  39 , and results in a more secure loading of blood glucose sensor  30  into blood glucose sensor  30 . 
         [0124]    As described above, biological information detection sensor feeding apparatus  28  according to the embodiment has the following features. 
         [0125]    (1) The apparatus includes body case  33  having feeding opening  31  for blood glucose sensor  30  (biological information detection sensor), storage section  41  that stores strip-shaped sensor feeding film  35  in body case  33 , and the feeding section that feeds a predetermined length of sensor feeding film  35  from storage section  41  to feeding opening  31 . 
         [0126]    Sensor feeding film  35  has strip-shaped holding film  36 , strip-shaped covering film  37  covering the surface of holding film  36 , and multiple blood glucose sensors  30  that are sandwiched and held by holding film  36  and covering film  37 . 
         [0127]    The feeding section is configured to feed a predetermined length of sensor feeding film  35  to feeding opening  31 , to separate holding film  36  and covering film  37  immediately before feeding opening  31 , and to feed blood glucose sensor  30  to feeding opening  31  side. 
         [0128]    Furthermore, in feeding opening  31 , sensor holding section  43  that holds blood glucose sensor  30  is provided at the inward side of body case  33 . Sensor holding section  43  includes guiding opening  56  that guides blood glucose sensor  30  to feeding opening  31  side, and sandwiching section  57  that sandwiches blood glucose sensor  30  guided by guiding opening  56  and moved to feeding opening  31  side. 
         [0129]    (2) Sandwiching section  57  includes sandwiching claw  58  and sandwiching claw  59  that sandwich the top and bottom surfaces of blood glucose sensor  30 . Sandwiching claw  58  and sandwiching claw  59  have abutting portion  58   a  and abutting portion  58   b  that abut against blood glucose sensor  30 , and rotating shaft  60  and rotating shaft  61  that rotate sandwiching claw  58  and sandwiching claw  59 . Abutting portion  58   a  and abutting portion  58   b  are disposed closer to feeding opening  31  than rotating shafts  60 ,  61 . 
         [0130]    (3) The rotating shafts of sandwiching claw  58  and sandwiching claw  59  are configured to abut against rotating cam  63  and rotating cam  64 , respectively. 
         [0131]    Thereby, in the embodiment, when taking out blood glucose sensor  30 , holding film  36  and covering film  37  are separated from sensor feeding film  35 , and, one new blood glucose sensor  30  is uncovered and then fed to feeding opening  31  through guiding opening  56  so as to fit within sensor feeding space  42 . Then, blood glucose sensor  30  fed to feeding opening  31  is sandwiched and held by sandwiching section  57  of sensor holding section  43 . 
         [0132]    When blood glucose sensor  30  is being held by sandwiching section  57  of sensor holding section  43 , once measurer  29  is attached (inserted) from feeding opening  31  to sensor feeding space  42 , blood glucose sensor  30  is loaded into measurer  29 . 
         [0133]    That is, according to the embodiment, a user himself does not need to peel sensor feeding film  35  in order to take out blood glucose sensors  30  from sensor feeding film  35  one by one. In addition, according to the embodiment, it is also possible to load blood glucose sensor  30  into measurer  29  without touching blood glucose sensor  30  by hand. Thus, the embodiment makes it possible to easily load blood glucose sensor  30  into measurer  29 , and therefore is easy to use. 
         [0134]    As shown in  FIG. 7  and  FIG. 10 , Embodiment 2 differs from the above-described Embodiment 1 in the orientation of blood glucose sensor  30  that is being stored in sensor feeding film  35 . This is because a main object of Embodiment 1 is to securely and easily take out blood glucose sensor  3  with fingers or the like, whereas a main object of Embodiment 2 is to directly load blood glucose sensor  30  into loading section  32  of measurer  29 . 
       Modification 1 of Embodiment 2 
       [0135]    In Embodiment 2, since measurer  29  has sensor loading section  32  protruding from the housing of measurer  29 , it is possible to regulate the attaching position of measurer  29  by conforming the shape of sensor loading section  32  to sensor feeding space  42 . In contrast, biological information detection sensor feeding apparatus  28 ′ according to Modification 1 of Embodiment 2 supplies biological information detection sensor  30  to measurer  29 ′ that has sensor loading section  32 ′ provided in the interior of the housing of the measurer, unlike sensor loading section  32  of the above-described measurer  29 . 
         [0136]    As shown in  FIGS. 18 to 21 , measurer  29 ′ has displaying section  29   a  that displays measured values and the like, operating section  29   b  that is constituted by various buttons, and sensor loading section  32 ′ into which biological information detection sensor  30  is to be loaded. Biological information detection sensor feeding apparatus  28 ′ has the same configuration as the above-described biological information detection sensor feeding apparatus  28 , and further has attachment  28   a  and end surface portion  28   c  having an end surface. 
         [0137]    As shown in  FIG. 18 , measurer  29 ′ has operating section  29   b . Operating section  29   b , which is provided on the upper surface of measurer  29 ′, includes a setting button by which setting data are set or selection menus are determined, a selection button by which a menu to be selected or a content to be displayed is switched, and a power button disposed on a side surface of measures  29 ′. 
         [0138]    Sensor loading section  32 ′ of measurer  29 ′ is provided at an end of the housing of measurer  29 ′ and that abuts against biological information detection sensor feeding apparatus  28 ′. Once sensor loading section  32 ′ of measurer  29 ′ is attached to sensor feeding space  42 ′ that is a space for feeding blood glucose sensor  30  and is provided in biological information detection sensor feeding apparatus  28 ′, one blood glucose sensor  30  is loaded into sensor loading section  32 ′. 
         [0139]    The attaching position of measurer  29 ′ in sensor feeding space  42 ′ is regulated by attachment  28   a  of biological information detection sensor feeding apparatus  28 ′, and the like. As shown in  FIG. 18 , attachment  28   a  defines sensor feeding space  42 ′ of biological information detection sensor feeding apparatus  28 ′. Attachment  28   a  regulates the attaching position of measurer  29 ′ to be attached to sensor feeding space  42 ′, in the width direction of measurer  29 ′, which is the direction (the Y-axis direction in  FIG. 18 ) orthogonal to the loading direction of blood glucose sensor  30 . 
         [0140]    Attachment  28   a  has angle (receiving portion)  28   b . Angle (receiving portion)  28   b  supports the lower surface and upper surface of measurer  29 ′ to be attached to sensor feeding space  42 ′, and thereby regulates the attaching position of measurer  29 ′ in the direction vertical to the upper and lower surfaces of measurer  29 ′ (the Z-axis direction in  FIG. 18 ). 
         [0141]    End surface portion  28   c  having the end surface is disposed in sensor feeding space  42 ′ of biological information detection sensor feeding apparatus  28 ′, close to fed blood glucose sensor  30 . The end surface of end surface portion  28   c  has such a shape as to be abutted against case member  29   c  of sensor loading section  32 ′ side of measurer  29 ′. By allowing the end surface of end surface portion  28   c  to abut against case member  29   c  of measurer  29 ′, measurer  29 ′ is regulated in the loading direction to biological information detection sensor feeding apparatus  28 ′ (the X-axis direction in  FIG. 18 ). 
         [0142]    Other configurations of biological information detection sensor feeding apparatus  28 ′ may be the same as biological information detection sensor feeding apparatus  28  according to Embodiment 2, and therefore, descriptions thereof are omitted. 
         [0143]    The operation of biological information detection sensor feeding apparatus  28 ′ and measurer  29 ′ that have the above configuration in use will be described hereinafter. The operation in the feeding of blood glucose sensor  30  to sensor feeding space  42 ′ is the same as biological information detection sensor feeding apparatus  28 , and therefore, descriptions thereof are omitted (see  FIG. 14, 15 ). 
         [0144]    A user (a nurse) attaches sensor loading section  32 ′ (see  FIG. 19 ) of measurer  29 ′ to sensor feeding space  42 ′. As described above, the attaching position of measurer  29 ′ is appropriately regulated by attachment  28   a , angle (receiving portion)  28   b , end surface portion  28   c  and the like that define sensor feeding space  42 ′ of biological information detection sensor feeding apparatus  28 ′. As a result, blood glucose sensor  30  is appropriately loaded into sensor loading section  32 ′ of measurer  29 ′. 
         [0145]      FIG. 20  is an overhead diagram showing a state in which case member  29   c  of measurer  29 ′ abuts against biological information detection sensor feeding apparatus  28  (attached state).  FIG. 20  contains a cross-sectional diagram of biological information detection sensor feeding apparatus  28 ′ and a top diagram of measurer  29 ′. In  FIG. 20 , some reference signs are the same as in  FIG. 19 , and therefore are omitted. 
         [0146]      FIG. 21  is an enlarged lateral cross-sectional diagram of sensor loading section  32 ′ and the surroundings in a state in which case member  29   c  of measurer  29 ′ abuts against biological information detection sensor feeding apparatus  28 ′ (attached state). In  FIG. 21 , as for measurer  29 ′, only a region of sensor loading section  32 ′ thereof is shown as a cross-sectional diagram. 
         [0147]    Sensor loading section  32 ′ has contact  32   a  that is a contacting terminal to blood glucose sensor  30 . Blood glucose sensor  30  is loaded into sensor loading section  32 ′ of measurer  29 ′, and thereby, contacts with contact  32   a . Thereby, blood glucose sensor  30  is electrically connected with a measuring circuit in measurer  29 ′ through contact  32   a.    
         [0148]    As described above, the attaching position of measurer  29 ′ is appropriately regulated by attachment  28   a , angle (receiving portion)  28   b , end surface portion  28   c  and the like that define sensor feeding space  42 ′ of biological information detection sensor feeding apparatus  28 ′. Thereby, blood glucose sensor  30  is properly loaded into sensor loading section  32  of measurer  29 ′. That is, blood glucose sensor  30  can appropriately contact with contact  32   a  in sensor loading section  32 ′. 
         [0149]    Thereafter, the user (nurse) pulls out measurer  29 ′ from biological information detection sensor feeding apparatus  28 ′. Blood glucose sensor  30  is set apart from biological information detection sensor feeding apparatus  28 ′, while contacting with contact  32   a  of sensor loading section  32 ′. 
         [0150]    From the above, in Modification 1 of Embodiment 2, attachment  28   a  and the like that regulate measurer  29 ′ are provided in biological information detection sensor feeding apparatus  28 ′, and thereby, it is possible to provide biological information detection sensor feeding apparatus  28  that securely loads blood glucose sensor  30  into measurer  29 ′ having sensor loading section  32 ′ that is provided in the interior of the housing of measurer  29 ′. 
       Modification 2 of Embodiment 2 
       [0151]    In biological information detection sensor feeding apparatus  28 ′ according to Modification 1 of Embodiment 2, the attaching position of measurer  29 ′ is regulated by attachment  28   a , angle (receiving portion)  28   b  and end surface portion  28   c . On the other hand, in biological information detection sensor feeding apparatus  28 ″ according to Modification 2 of Embodiment 2, the attaching position of measurer  29 ′ is regulated by end surface portion  28   c  and lower-surface receiving portion  28   d  (see  FIG. 23  and  FIG. 24 ). 
         [0152]    As shown in  FIGS. 22 to 24 , biological information detection sensor feeding apparatus  28 ″ according to Modification 2 of Embodiment 2, which has end surface portion  28   c  having an end surface similarly to the above-described biological information detection sensor feeding apparatus  28 ′ according to Modification 1 of Embodiment 2, but does not have attachment  28   a  in the above-described Modification 1 and has lower-surface receiving portion  28   d  instead. Other configurations of biological information detection sensor feeding apparatus  28 ″ are the same as the above-described biological information detection sensor feeding apparatus  28 ′, and therefore, descriptions thereof are omitted. On the other hand, measurer  29 ′ according to Modification 2 of Embodiment 2 has the same configuration as measurer  29 ′ according to Modification 1 of Embodiment 2. 
         [0153]    In biological information detection sensor feeding apparatus  28 ″, the attaching position of measurer  29 ′ is regulated by end surface portion  28   c  having an end surface, lower-surface receiving portion  28   d  and the like. To take  FIG. 22  as an example, end surface portion  28   c  has an end surface that abuts against case member  29   c  of measurer  29 ′, and is disposed close to fed blood glucose sensor  30 . Since the end surface of end surface portion  28   c  abuts against case member  29   c  of measurer  29 ′, it is possible to regulate measurer  29 ′ in the loading direction of measurer  29 ′. Here, end surface portion  28   c  has a curved concave end surface, and case member  29   c  has a convex end surface. In order that the concave end surface of end surface portion  28   c  and the convex end surface of case member  29   c  appropriately abut against each other, their shape is curved in a similar manner. The abutment between the concave end surface of end surface portion  28   c  and the convex end surface of case member  29   c  allows for the regulation also in the width direction of measurer  29 ′, which is the direction orthogonal to the loading direction of blood glucose sensor  30 . However, the regulation performance is less powerful than that of attachment  28   a  of biological information detection sensor feeding apparatus  28 ′ according to Modification 1 of Embodiment 2. 
         [0154]    Lower-surface receiving portion  28   d  supports the lower surface of measurer  29 ′ to be attached. Lower-surface receiving portion  28   d  is provided at a lower portion of end surface portion  28   c . Thereby, lower-surface receiving portion  28   d  can regulate the attaching position of measurer  29 ′ in the vertical direction of measurer  29 ′. 
         [0155]      FIG. 24  is an enlarged lateral cross-sectional diagram of sensor loading section  32 ′ and the surroundings in a state in which the end surface of case member  29   c  of measurer  29 ′ abuts against the end surface of end surface portion  28   c  of biological information detection sensor feeding apparatus  28 ″ according to Modification 2 of Embodiment 2 (attached state). In  FIG. 24 , as for measurer  29 ′, only a region of sensor loading section  32 ′ is shown as a cross-sectional diagram. 
         [0156]    Sensor loading section  32  has contact  32   a  that is a contacting terminal to blood glucose sensor  30 . Blood glucose sensor  30  is loaded into sensor loading section  32 ′ of measurer  29 ′, and thereby, contacts with contact  32   a . Thereby, blood glucose sensor  30  is electrically connected with a measuring circuit in measurer  29 ′ through contact  32   a.    
         [0157]    As described above, the attaching position of measurer  29 ′ is appropriately regulated by end surface portion  28   c  and lower-surface receiving portion  28   d . Thereby, blood glucose sensor  30  is appropriately loaded into sensor loading section  32 ′ of measurer  29 ′. That is, blood glucose sensor  30  can securely contact with contact  32   a  in sensor loading section  32 ′. 
         [0158]    Thereafter, a user (a nurse) pulls out measurer  29 ′ from biological information detection sensor feeding apparatus  28 ″. Blood glucose sensor  30  is set apart from biological information detection sensor feeding apparatus  28 ″, while contacting with contact  32   a  of sensor loading section  32 ′. 
         [0159]    Biological information detection sensor feeding apparatus  28 ″ according to Modification 2 of Embodiment 2 does not have attachment  28   a . Thereby, biological information detection sensor feeding apparatus  28 ″ has a simple configuration and can be downsized. Therefore, biological information detection sensor feeding apparatus  28 ″ according to Modification 2 of Embodiment 2 makes it possible to improve the portability, while maintaining the convenience in biological information detection sensor feeding apparatuses  28 ,  28 ′. 
       Embodiment 3 
       [0160]      FIG. 25  shows biological information detection sensor feeding apparatus  67  according to Embodiment 3. Biological information detection sensor feeding apparatus  67 , which is used while being constantly placed on a planar surface such as for example, a desk, has a function to measure a blood glucose level (an example of biological information). 
         [0161]    Biological information detection sensor feeding apparatus  67  has body case  68  molded in an approximately cuboidal shape. As shown in  FIG. 26 , biological information detection sensor feeding apparatus  67  is configured such that lid  69  at the rear end of body case  68  is opened and sensor cartridge  70  is stored in the interior thereof. 
         [0162]    Power button  71  is provided at the rear end side of the upper surface of body case  68 , and, displaying section  72 , set button  73  for blood glucose sensor  75  (see  FIG. 27 ) and disposition button  74  for blood glucose sensor  75  are provided at the center portion. 
         [0163]    Once a user depresses power button  71  to turn the power on and thereafter depresses set button  73 , blood glucose sensor  75  of sensor cartridge  70  is fed to loading opening  76  provided at the front-end surface of body case  68 , as shown in  FIG. 25  (the details will be described later). 
         [0164]    As shown in  FIG. 27 , blood glucose sensor  75  is stored in strip-shaped sensor feeding film  77 . Sensor feeding film  77  includes strip-shaped holding film  78  and strip-shaped covering film  79  that covers a surface of this holding film  78 . 
         [0165]    Blood glucose sensor  75  is disposed between strip-shaped holding film  78  and strip-shaped covering film  79 . That is, on the surface of holding film  78 , multiple (in the embodiment,  200 ) blood glucose sensors  75  are arranged at a predetermined interval along the longitudinal direction. Thus, blood glucose sensor  75  is held while being sandwiched between holding film  78  and covering film  79 . As shown in  FIG. 27  and  FIG. 29 , Embodiment 3 differs from the above-described Embodiment 1 in the orientation of blood glucose sensor  75  that is being stored in sensor feeding film  77 , but has the same orientation as Embodiment 2. 
         [0166]    Blood glucose sensor  75  has an approximately triangular and thin-plate shape. Spot-application portion  80  on which blood is to be spot-applied is provided near one apex of the triangle, and connecting electrodes  81  are provided from the end opposite to spot-application portion  80  to the center portion. 
         [0167]    Feed guide holes  82  are provided at both ends in the direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of sensor feeding film  77 . Feed guide holes  82  are holes for feeding sensor feeding film  77  to loading opening  76 . 
         [0168]    Sensor feeding film  77  is stored in sensor cartridge  70  ( FIG. 26 ). Furthermore, Sensor cartridge  70  is stored in body case  68 .  FIG. 28  is lateral a cross-sectional diagram of biological information detection sensor feeding apparatus  67  when sensor cartridge  70  is stored in body case  68 , and  FIG. 29  is an overhead cross-sectional diagram thereof. 
         [0169]    The internal configuration of sensor cartridge  70  will be described. As shown in  FIG. 28 , a roll of sensor feeding film  77  is stored in storage section  83  provided at the center portion in the interior of sensor cartridge  70 . Sensor feeding film  77  is loosely wound so that blood glucose sensor  75  held in sensor feeding film  77  is not damaged. 
         [0170]    As shown in  FIG. 28  and  FIG. 29 , the roll of sensor feeding film  77  is disposed such that the longitudinal direction of sensor feeding film  77  is oriented to the front-end of sensor cartridge  70 . Sensor cartridge  70  is disposed such that feeding opening  84  thereof opposes loading opening  76 . 
         [0171]    As shown in  FIG. 28 , sensor feeding film  77 , in which from the bottom in the drawing, holding film  78 , blood glucose sensor  75  and covering film  79  are sequentially laminated, is fed toward feeding opening  84 . Blood glucose sensor  75  is held in holding film  78 , with spot-application portion  80  side being oriented to feeding opening  84 . 
         [0172]    Sensor loading section  85  for loading blood glucose sensor  75  is provided between feeding opening  84  of sensor cartridge  70  and loading opening  76 . 
         [0173]    In the interior of sensor cartridge  70 , cylindrical separating pulleys  86 ,  87  are provided at portions opposite to feeding opening  84 . Furthermore, a pair of cylindrical pressing pulleys  88 ,  89  is provided at the inward side of separating pulleys  86 ,  87  (at the upstream side in the feeding direction of sensor feeding film  77 ). The axial length of pressing pulleys  88 ,  89  is greater than the short-directional width of sensor feeding film  77 . Therefore, pressing pulleys  88 ,  89  can press the whole of the short-directional width of sensor feeding film  77 . Thereby, pressing pulleys  88 ,  89  correct peculiar windings of sensor feeding film  77  wound in a roll form, and then send it to separating pulleys  86 ,  87  at the downstream side. 
         [0174]    Separating pulleys  86 ,  87  separate covering film  79  and holding film  78  from sensor feeding film  77 . 
         [0175]    Covering film  79  is returned upward and subsequently rearward by separating pulley  86 , and through cylindrical guiding pulleys  90 ,  91  and cylindrical driving reel  92 , is wound by cylindrical winding reel  93  (winding mechanism). As understood from  FIG. 29 , the axial lengths of separating pulley  86 , guiding pulleys  90 ,  91  and driving reel  92  are greater than the short-directional width of sensor feeding film  77 . 
         [0176]    On the other hand, holding film  78  is returned downward and subsequently rearward by separating pulley  87 , and through cylindrical guiding pulleys  94 ,  95  and cylindrical driving reel  96 , is wound by cylindrical winding reel  97 . The axial lengths of separating pulley  87 , guiding pulleys  94 ,  95  and driving reel  96  are greater than the short-directional width of sensor feeding film  77 . 
         [0177]    Driving projections  92   a ,  96   a  are provided at both end sides of driving reels  92 ,  96 . Driving projections  92   a ,  96   a  engage with feed guide holes  82  provided at both ends of sensor feeding film  77 . Furthermore, driving reels  92 ,  96  are coupled with driving motor  98  (see  FIG. 29 ) in body case  68  through connecting gear  70 A (see  FIG. 26 ). 
         [0178]    That is, a winding mechanism for covering film  79  of sensor feeding film  77  is constituted by driving motor  98 , connecting gear  70 A, winding reel  93 , driving reel  92 , guiding pulleys  91 ,  90  and separating pulley  86 . 
         [0179]    A winding mechanism for holding film  78  of sensor feeding film  77  is constituted by driving motor  98 , connecting gear  70 A, winding reel  97 , driving reel  96 , guiding pulleys  95 ,  94  and separating pulley  87 . 
         [0180]    Winding reel  93  has the same slipping clutch mechanism as Embodiment 1, and is connected with driving reel  92 . Winding reel  97  has the same slipping clutch mechanism as Embodiment 1, and is connected with driving reel  96 . 
         [0181]    The internal configuration of body case  68  will be described.  FIG. 30  is an enlarged lateral cross-sectional diagram of sensor loading section  85 , and  FIG. 31  is an enlarged overhead cross-sectional diagram of sensor loading section  85 . 
         [0182]    As shown in  FIG. 30  and  FIG. 31 , sensor loading section  85  has electrode roller  100  to be disposed on one surface side (the upper side in  FIG. 30 ) of blood glucose sensor  75 . Electrode roller  100  has roller electrodes  99  to be connected with connecting electrodes  81  of blood glucose sensor  75  (see  FIG. 31 ). As shown in  FIG. 31 , roller electrodes  99  are provided on both end portions of the outer periphery of electrode roller  100 . 
         [0183]    Furthermore, as shown in  FIG. 30 , sensor loading section  85  has pressing roller  101  disposed on the other surface side (the lower side in  FIG. 30 ) of blood glucose sensor  75 . Pressing roller  101  presses blood glucose sensor  75  to electrode roller  100  side. For example, the rotating shaft portion of pressing roller  101  is pressed to electrode roller  100  side by a flat spring (an example of biasing member, not shown in the figure). When blood glucose sensor  75  is pressed onto electrode roller  100  by pressing roller  101 , connecting electrodes  81  of blood glucose sensor  75  abut against and electrically connected to roller electrodes  99 . 
         [0184]    Optical sensor (an example of sensor detecting section)  102  is provided between feeding opening  84  and electrode roller  100 . Optical sensor  102  detects blood glucose sensor  75  entered into sensor loading section  85 . 
         [0185]    As shown in  FIG. 31 , roller electrodes  99  contact with metallic connecting terminals  103 . Roller electrodes  99  are connected with measuring section  104  (see  FIG. 32 ) through metallic connecting terminals  103 . 
         [0186]      FIG. 32  is a control block diagram of biological information detection sensor feeding apparatus  67 . Measuring section  104  is connected with control section  105 . Control section  105  is connected with motor controller  106 . Optical sensor  102  (see  FIG. 30 ) is connected with motor controller  106 . Optical sensor  102  and connecting terminals  103  ( FIG. 29 ) are disposed on a printed board. 
         [0187]    Driving motor  98  that drives connecting gear  70 A of sensor cartridge  70  is connected with motor controller  106 . The driving force of driving motor  98  is transmitted to sensor sending gear  107  (see  FIG. 29 ) through connecting gear  70 A of sensor cartridge  70 , and further is transmitted to driving reel  92 . 
         [0188]    Furthermore, driving motor  108  that drives electrode roller  100  is connected with motor controller  106 . The driving force of driving motor  108  is transmitted to electrode roller  100  through connecting gear  109 , and electrode roller  100  transports blood glucose sensor  75 . 
         [0189]    In addition, cartridge detecting switch  69 A that detects that sensor cartridge  70  has been stored in body case  68 , ROM  110  in which programs in the control section are stored, battery  111 , displaying section  72 , power button  71 , set button  73  for the sensor, and disposition button  74  for the sensor are connected with control section  105 . 
         [0190]    The operation of biological information detection sensor feeding apparatus  67  having the above configuration in use will be described hereinafter. First, as shown in  FIG. 26 , a user (a nurse) opens lid  69  at the rear end of body case  68 , and loads sensor cartridge  70  to the interior of body case  68 . 
         [0191]    Next, once the user (nurse) depresses power button  71  (see  FIG. 25 ) to turn the power on, control section  105  detects that sensor cartridge  70  is being loaded to body case  68 , using cartridge detecting switch  69 A. Thereafter, once the user (nurse) depresses set button  73  for the sensor, blood glucose sensor  75  of sensor cartridge  70  appears while being loaded into loading opening  76 . 
         [0192]    Specifically, control section  105  (see  FIG. 30 ) that has detected the depression of set button  73 , rotates driving motor  98  (see  FIG. 29 ) by a predetermined amount, using motor controller  106 . Then, the driving force of driving motor  98  is transmitted to driving reel  92  (see  FIG. 28 ), through sensor sending gear  107  and connecting gear  70 A. 
         [0193]    Driving projections  92   a  of driving reel  92  transmit driving force to covering film  79  through feed guide holes  82  of covering film  79 . As a result, covering film  79  is pulled out from storage section  83  to feeding opening  84  side by a predetermined amount corresponding to the rotation amount of driving motor  98 , by the winding mechanism for covering film  79  (driving motor  98 , connecting gear  70 A, winding reel  93 , driving reel  92 , guiding pulleys  91 ,  90 , and separating pulley  86 ). 
         [0194]    Driving projections  96   a  of driving reel  96  transmit driving force to holding film  78  through feed guide holes  82  of holding film  78 . As a result, holding film  78  is pulled out from storage section  83  to feeding opening  84  side by a predetermined amount corresponding to the rotation amount of driving motor  98 , by the winding mechanism for holding film  78  (driving motor  98 , connecting gear  70 A, winding reel  97 , driving reel  96 , guiding pulleys  95 ,  94 , and separating pulley  87 ). 
         [0195]    That is, covering film  79  and holding film  78  are pulled out to feeding opening  84  side by the same predetermined amount. In other words, sensor feeding film  77  is pulled out by the predetermined amount. As described above, in this pulling-out, covering film  79  and holding film  78  are separated from sensor feeding film  77  by separating pulleys  86 ,  87 . Then, one blood glucose sensor  75  is uncovered from holding film  78 . 
         [0196]    The biological information detection sensor feeding apparatus according to the embodiment is configured to automatically load blood glucose sensor  75  to loading opening  76 . Specifically, first, by the driving force of separating pulleys  86 ,  87 , uncovered blood glucose sensor  75  is entered into sensor loading section  85  through feeding opening  84  of sensor cartridge  70  (see  FIG. 30 ). 
         [0197]    Then, optical sensor  102  of sensor loading section  85  detects entered blood glucose sensor  75 . Once optical sensor  102  detects blood glucose sensor  75 , motor controller  106  drives driving motor  108 . The driving force of driving motor  108  is transmitted to electrode roller  100  through connecting gear  109 . Then, blood glucose sensor  75  reaches between electrode roller  100  and pressing roller  101 . Thereafter, blood glucose sensor  75  is led to loading opening  76  by the driving force of electrode roller  100 . Once blood glucose sensor  75  has been entered to a predetermined position, optical sensor  102  becomes unable to detect blood glucose sensor  75 . At that time, motor controller  106  stops the driving of driving motor  108 . 
         [0198]    As shown in  FIG. 31 , roller electrodes  99  at both end portions of electrode roller  100  are abutted against and electrically connected to the connecting electrodes of blood glucose sensor  75  entered to the predetermined position. Thus, the loading of blood glucose sensor  75  into sensor loading section  85  is completed. Spot-application portion  80  of loading-completed blood glucose sensor  75  is in a state of being uncovered to the exterior of body case  68  through loading opening  76  (see  FIG. 25 ). 
         [0199]    A finger of a patient is punctured with a separately-prepared puncture instrument. Once the blood flowed out by puncturing is spot-applied on spot-application portion  80  of blood glucose sensor  75 , the blood glucose level is measured by measuring section  104  and the result is displayed on displaying section  72 . 
         [0200]    Finally, the user (nurse) depresses disposition button  74 . Control section  105  that has detected the depression of disposition button  74 , rotates driving motor  98  using motor controller  106 . Then, electrode roller  100  rotates and disposes blood glucose sensor  75  out of body case  68 . 
         [0201]    In the embodiment, driving motor  108  is coupled with electrode roller  100 , but driving motor  108  only has to be coupled with at least one of electrode roller  100  and pressing roller  101 . 
         [0202]    As described above, biological information detection sensor feeding apparatus  67  according to the embodiment has the following features. 
         [0203]    (1) Biological information detection sensor feeding apparatus  67  includes body case  68  having loading opening  76  for blood glucose sensor (biological information detection sensor)  75 , storage section  83  that stores strip-shaped sensor feeding film  77  in body case  68 , and the feeding section that feeds a predetermined length of sensor feeding film  77  from storage section  83  to loading opening  76 . 
         [0204]    Sensor feeding film  77  has strip-shaped holding film  78 , strip-shaped covering film  79  covering the surface of holding film  78 , and multiple blood glucose sensors  75  that are held by being sandwiched by holding film  78  and covering film  79 . 
         [0205]    The feeding section feeds a predetermined length of sensor feeding film  77  to feeding opening  84 , and separates holding film  78  and the covering film from sensor feeding film  77  to uncover blood glucose sensor  75 . The apparatus has a configuration in which uncovered blood glucose sensor  75  is fed to loading opening  76  through feeding opening  84 . 
         [0206]    Sensor loading section  85  into which blood glucose sensor  75  is to be loaded is provided between feeding opening  84  and loading opening  76 . Sensor loading section  85  has electrode roller  100  and pressing roller  101 . Electrode roller  100  is disposed on one surface side of blood glucose sensor  75 , and has roller electrodes (connecting electrodes)  81  to be connected with connecting electrodes  81  of blood glucose sensor  75 . Pressing roller  101  is disposed on the other surface side of blood glucose sensor  75 , and is configured to press blood glucose sensor  75  to electrode roller  100  side. 
         [0207]    (2) The apparatus has a configuration in which driving motor  108  is coupled with at least one of electrode roller  100  and pressing roller  101 . 
         [0208]    (3) The apparatus has a configuration in which optical sensor (sensor detecting section)  102  is provided between feeding opening  84  and electrode roller  100 . 
         [0209]    Thereby, once a user (nurse) depresses set button  73  for blood glucose sensor  75 , holding film  78  and covering film  79  are separated from sensor feeding film  77 , and one new blood glucose sensor  75  is uncovered. Furthermore, uncovered blood glucose sensor  75  can be loaded into sensor loading section  85 . Spot-application portion  80  of blood glucose sensor  75  loaded into sensor loading section  85  protrudes from body case  68 , and connecting electrodes  81  are connected with measuring section  104  through roller electrodes (connecting electrodes)  99 . Thus, simply by depressing set button  73  for blood glucose sensor  75 , the user (nurse) can load one new blood glucose sensor  75  into sensor loading section  85 . 
         [0210]    By spot-applying patient&#39;s blood on spot-application portion  80  of blood glucose sensor  75  loaded into sensor loading section  85 , measuring section  104  measures the blood glucose level. As a result, the ease of use of biological information detection sensor feeding apparatus  67  increases.
