Abstract: A thermometer includes a support structure and a heat conductive layer on an outer surface of the support structure. The heat conductive layer has a sensing portion and a temperature indication portion, and a structure with temperature indication markings is laid out along the temperature indication portion. A reversible temperature-sensitive color changing layer is formed on the temperature indication portion to overlap the structure of the temperature indication markings, in which the sensing portion is adapted for sensing a thermal contact surface of a user to conduct heat flow to the temperature-sensitive color changing layer, producing a sensed temperature and a color changing zone of the reversible temperature-sensitive color changing layer in response to the sensed temperature thereby exhibiting a corresponding temperature value.

Abstract: A thermometer is constituted by a body member with a display portion and a tip member secured to the body member. The tip member has a hollow cavity and a thermal contact surface surrounding the hollow cavity. A thermal sensor is mounted on the inside of the tip member, adapted for sensing the thermal contact surface and producing a temperature signal. Lead wires are coupled to the thermal sensor for transmission of the temperature signal to the display portion. A hollow heat conductive structure is inserted into the hollow cavity of the tip member, including a film with a heat conductive surface which is directly contacted and against the inside of the thermal contact surface. The lead wires are integrated on the heat conductive surface of the film such that the lead wires and the heat conductive surface are coplanar to form a single piece.
