1. A sphygmomanometer comprising:
a main body accommodating a pump; and
a cuff unit having a cylindrical shape and detachably attached to the main body,
wherein the main body includes a slide receiving part having a circular-arc cross section that opens upward and slidably receiving the cuff unit along a direction perpendicular to the circular-arc cross section, the slide receiving part including upper edges at both ends of the circular-arc cross section,
wherein the slide receiving part is tilted horizontally or in a manner of gradually increasing in height toward a slide end side in a sliding direction of sliding the cuff unit,
wherein the cuff unit includes
a cuff structure having a cylindrical shape extending over an entire circumference of the cuff structure so as to allow a measurement target site having a rod shape to be inserted, and having a fluid bag along an inner circumferential surface, and
a cover having a circular-arc cross section that opens downward, and detachably attached integrally to the cuff structure to cover at least an upper half of the cuff structure, and
wherein, when the cuff unit is slid along the slide receiving part, the upper edges of both sides of the circular-arc cross section of the slide receiving part come into contact with lower edges of both sides of the circular-arc cross section of the cover to support a weight of the cuff unit.
