Abstract: A combined electronic clinical thermometer and pacifier includes a housing, an integral mouth-piece, a temperature sensitive element which has a transducer and a pair of wire leads, a circuit board which is disposed within the housing, a temperature oscillating circuit, a body temperature measuring circuit and a digital display device. The integral mouth-piece has a stop ring flange portion and a flexible nipple portion in which the transducer is disposed so that the combined electronic clinical thermometer and pacifier can easily and safely take the temperature of either an infant or a small child. The housing has a front face and is mechanically coupled to the stop ring flange portion. When the flexible nipple portion is inserted into the mouth the transducer detects a body temperature. The temperature oscillating circuit is electrically coupled to the pair of wire leads of the temperature sensitive element and is disposed on the circuit board.
