Patent number: 5133606Abstract: A thermometer for measuring the temperature of a living being comprises a housing having a hollow probe extending outwardly therefrom in a distal direction and a temperature sensing element located at the distal end of the probe. The housing holds a digital display and electrical means in electrical communication with the temperature sensing element for converting the temperature measured by the temperature sensing element into a readout on the display element. A resilient soft cover covers the probe and a portion of the housing to form a gripping surface for the user while allowing visualization of the display element. The resilient cover is softer than the probe.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 1991Date of Patent: July 28, 1992Assignee: Becton, Dickinson and CompanyInventors: Robert Zaragoza, Thomas V. McLinden, James A. O'Connell

Patent number: 4969916Abstract: Flush mountable latches and locks for industrial cabinets, tool carts, electrical equipment enclosures and the like utilize versatile housings of novel configuration together with push-to-operate handles that are pivotally movable relative to the housings to effect unlatching movements of spring-biased, pivotally mounted latch bolts. The lock-type embodiment has a locking mechanism that is mounted on the housing to selectively permit and prevent unlatching movements of its pivotal latch bolt. The resulting arrangement provides sturdy latch and lock assemblies that employ a small number of relatively movable parts that can be assembled, installed and serviced with ease. Improved features include the provision of a plural part handle assembly having portions that are configured to cooperate with a resilient, weather resistant boot that optionally may be interposed between housing and handle assembly components.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 1989Date of Patent: November 13, 1990Assignee: The Eastern CompanyInventors: Lee S. Weinerman, Steven A. Mayo, Joel T. Vargus, Thomas V. McLinden, Timothy H. Wentzell
