Abstract: A contact-type thermometer which is supported by fixing a contact plate having a supporting bar on both sides of an annular elastic member that is formed by connecting both sides of an elastic sheet. A temperature sensitive portion is arranged between the annular elastic member and the contact plate to hold a portion attached to the contact plate of the annular elastic member and the opposite side using the support. In addition, clearance fixing the supporting bar into a guide hole that is long from side to side in a holder such that the contact plate contacts an object to be temperature measured in parallel. The elastic force acting on the back of the contact plate under the condition of the elastically deforming annular elastic member becomes slightly flat, wherein the contact plate does not float more than a distance to the surface of the object to be temperature measured, so the temperature can be accurately measured.

Abstract: To provide a temperature measuring apparatus making it possible to automatically calculate a correction multiplier by assuming the data measured by a contact-type thermometer as a true value and always accurately measure temperature by the noncontact method in accordance with the correction multiplier. The temperature measuring apparatus comprises noncontact- and contact-type thermometers for measuring the temperature of a temperature measurement object, arithmetic means for calculating a correction multiplier for correcting an error of data measured by the noncontact-type thermometer in accordance with the data measured by the noncontact-type thermometer and a value measured by the contact-type thermometer and moreover calculating a correction value by correcting the data measured by the noncontact-type thermometer in accordance with the correction multiplier, and display means for displaying the measured value and the correction value.

Abstract: A surface temperature sensor is disclosed, which comprises a contact member and a position restricting portion for guiding the contact member, of which the contact member comprises a contact surface formed of an elastic material and having a generally C-shaped or .OMEGA.-shaped section, a first deformable portion connected to and extending from respective ends of the contact surface, a second deformable portion connected to and inwardly extending from respective ends of the first deformable portions along the contact surface, and a support portion formed at respective free ends of the second deformable portions and pivotally supported about pins, and of which the position restricting portion has ends thereof located in the vicinity of points at which respective first deformable portion and the second deformable portion are connected to each other.
