Patent number: 7121720Abstract: The invention is directed to a protective cap (2) for a temperature measurement probe (30) of an infrared radiation thermometer (1) that can be introduced into a body cavity (31). The protective cap (2) is comprised of a base body (12) shaped to fit the body cavity (31) and having a window (15) transparent to infrared radiation. The base body (12) is provided with additional structures (13; 18, 20) at least in parts to improve heat insulation between the temperature measurement probe (30) and the body cavity (31). This heat insulation of the temperature measurement probe (30) prevents measurement errors by the infrared radiation thermometer (1).Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 2003Date of Patent: October 17, 2006Assignee: Braun GmbHInventors: Frank Beerwerth, Bernhard Kraus, Katja Honnefeller

Patent number: 6609823Abstract: The invention is directed to an infrared radiation thermometer, in particular an ear thermometer, having a probe head (10) whose outer diameter and/or shape is variable by an elastic arrangement (4, 14, 24). This enables the probe head to conform itself automatically to the size and/or contour of the body cavity or to be conformed manually. The thermometer is therefore equally well suited for both children and adults, although their ear canals differ in diameter.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2001Date of Patent: August 26, 2003Assignee: Braun GmbHInventors: Bernhard Kraus, Frank Beerwerth, Katja Honnefeller
