Title: Wireless self-adhesive heartbeat detector

Description:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION  
      1. Field of the Invention  
      This invention relates to a wireless self-adhesive heartbeat detector, and more particularly to a detector adhesive to human&#39;s chest without using any string or tape.  
      2. Description of the Prior Art  
      There are plenty of heartbeat detectors widely used by medical groups and health centers. They are designed from wire to wireless for its convenience. As shown in  FIG. 6 , a detector A extends towards respective sides to form a pair of detecting sections A 1  with a detecting terminal A 11 , and a pair of buckles A 12  at the respective far ends. A belt B comprises a pair of buckles B 1  to be secured with the buckles A 12  and to fasten the detector A 1  to the chest of the human with the two detecting sections A 1  engaging with the skin of the chest and monitoring the heartbeat. The detector A will send a signal to an exterior receiver C.  
      The belt B restraining the chest makes the user uncomfortable, especially to female who has a large size chest, which makes the detector harder to be placed at the right position.  
      In view of these and many others, the inventor has invented the present invention to improve the shortcomings.  
     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION  
      It is the primary objective of the present invention to provide a wireless self-adhesive heartbeat detector, which is easy to attach to a human&#39;s chest and to measure the accuracy heartbeat.  
      It is another objective of the present invention to provide a wireless self-adhesive heartbeat detector, which is comfortable to users.  
      It is a further objective of the present invention to provide a wireless self-adhesive heartbeat detector, which is easy to operate.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT  
      As shown in  FIG. 1 , the present invention comprises a detector  1  and a pair of stickers  2 .  
      The detector  1  adopts a wireless method to send a signal of a human&#39;s heartbeat to a monitor and comprises a pair of terminals  12  on a contact surface  11 . The terminals  12  are formed either denting inwardly or protruding outwardly. One of the terminals  12  is a positive pole, while the other is a negative pole.  
      Each sticker  2  has a glue layer  21  at one side surface with a pole end  211  and a connecting part  23  extending from the opposite end of the pole end  211 . The glue layer  21  is covered by paper  22 , when not in use. The connecting part  23  will extend into a corresponding terminal  12  when the sticker  2  is attached to the detector  1 .  
      To measure a human&#39;s heartbeat, the paper  22  of each sticker  2  is torn off and place the stickers  2  against the chest with the two terminals  12  close to heart to receive the heartbeat attach  
      To assemble the present invention, as shown in  FIGS. 2 and 3 , the stickers  2  are attached to the detector  1  with the connecting parts  23  buckling into the terminals  12 . The paper  22  of each sticker  2  is torn off, and then the detector  1  is attached to a human&#39;s chest. The softness of the stickers  2  will fit the human&#39;s body in such a way that the human will not feel any uncomfortable, whereas the pole ends  211  of the stickers  2  will detect the heartbeat and send to the detector  1  through the connecting parts  23 .  
      A sticker  3  may be formed in a one-piece relative to the detector  1 . The sticker  3  comprises two pole ends  31  and two connecting parts (not shown in the drawing) integrally, as shown in  FIG. 4 . The sticker  3  is in a disposal form and can be discarded after each use, which corresponds to the sanitary requirement.  
      Further, the heartbeat detector can be formed as shown in  FIG. 5 , which forms a pair of glue layers  13  direct to the surface  11  of the detector  1 . Each glue layer  13  is covered by paper  14 . The heartbeat detector  1  of this design may be in a soft material to match the figure of the human&#39;s chest for comfort consideration, while the function is well performed.  
      Still further, the heartbeat detector of the present invention uses a wireless transmitting method, which eliminates the binding feeling from the design of a traditional heartbeat detector.
