Abstract: The disclosed subject matter relates to a clinical thermometer that facilitates easy measurement operation while suitably illuminating a location where a probe is to be inserted. Measurement can be performed even while subjects wear a garment. The clinical thermometer can include the following: a main body having on the outer face thereof a display for temperature display and a housing that includes a measuring device configured for temperature measurement; and an elongated probe part extending from the main body in a first direction and including a temperature sensing device located at the tip of the probe part that abuts against a user's armpit. The clinical thermometer can include, in the region where the main body is joined to the base of the probe part, a shoulder part curved or bent in a direction that intersects the first direction. The main body can also include an illumination device configured to emit light in the direction along which the probe extends.

Abstract: [Problem] To provide a toothbrush, in which illumination of an interior of an oral cavity enables an assistant to grasp the state of the interior of an oral cavity of a person being assisted, and an uncomfortable strike against the interior of an oral cavity caused by a portion made of a hard material can be prevented as far as possible during brushing. [Means for Resolution] A toothbrush 10 comprising a head portion 31 formed on a surface thereof with a brush portion 55, a toothbrush body 11, and a shaft 25 that connects the head portion and the toothbrush body, the toothbrush body being provided with light emitting means 21 to irradiate light toward the head portion, the shaft being formed to permit the light to transmit therethrough, at least a surface of the head portion being formed with elastic portions 34, 36, and a tip end of the head portion being not formed with the elastic bodies and thereby provided with a tip-end light transmitting portion 37.
