  • Publication number: 20060233218
    Abstract: A rapidly-sensed nipple-form clinical thermometer comprises a mask having a nipple at a front end thereof; an interior of the nipple being formed with a straight groove located at a lower bottom of the nipple; a sensor placed at one side of the groove; a metal sensor wire extended from the sensor; a control unit with electronic operation functions connected to the sensor wire for calculating a temperature from the sensor; and a display screen at a rear end of the mask for receiving temperature values transferred from the control unit and displaying the temperature value. The sensor and the sensor wire are flatly adhered to a bottom of the groove. The sensor and sensor wire are fixed to a retainer in the groove. The retainer is made of insulated material and the nipple is made of silica gal.

  • Publication number: 20060072644
    Abstract: A rapid sensing clinical thermometer embedded in a nipple comprises a mask; a nipple head installed at an end of the mask; a control element installed at the mask; a temperature detector installed in the nipple head; measured temperatures being transferred to the control element; a probe in the temperature detector; a part of the probe exposes out of the nipple head. The temperature detector includes the probe, a temperature sensor; and a sensing wire. The probe is made of heat conductive metal. The nipple head is made of soft rubber material or silicon. One end of the nipple head has a penetrated through hole for receiving the probe. The probe is a cylinder with one sealing end and one opening end and an interior of the probe is formed with a receiving space.

  • Publication number: 20060050769
    Abstract: A waterproof infrared ear thermometer comprises a casing containing a sensor head; a front end of the casing being a hollowed long tube; a sensor unit and a heat dissipating block being received in the casing; a front end of the sensor unit being a temperature sensing portion; an outer front ring of the temperature sensing portion having a forward protruded water-proof washer; and a front end of the casing being protruded with a stopper; the stopper being buckled in an inner edge of the water-proof washer so as to achieve the affect of preventing liquid from flowing into the sensor head. A heat dissipating block is firmly secured between the casing and the sensor unit so as to reduce heat to be transferred to the sensor unit. An infrared sensor and an environmental temperature sensor are installed in the temperature sensing portion.

  • Publication number: 20060039446
    Abstract: A fast response clinical thermometer comprises a meter body; a probe rod extending from a front end of the meter body; a heat conductive head at a front end of the probe rod; a sensor being adhered to an inner wall of the heat conductive head; the sensor being connected to the control element of the meter body through a sensing wire for transferring measured temperature value to the control element; and a non-heat conductive unit filled into the heat conductive head for fixing the sensor and the sensing wire to the inner wall of the heat conductive head. The non-heat conductive unit is foam material or styrofoam. The meter body has a display and a control button. A control element is installed in the meter body. The control button serves for switching, calibration and actuation; and the display serves for displaying the measured result.

  • Patent number: 6851850
    Abstract: An electronic fever thermometer includes a housing made of a transparent material, for example, transparent plastic. The housing includes a temperature sensor to measure the temperature, and a display element to display the measured temperature. The housing has a treated outer and/or inner surface so that the housing is essentially nontransparent to visible light. The housing also has an untreated viewing area. The display element is arranged within the housing adjacent to the viewing area.

  • Patent number: 6419388
    Abstract: A medical thermometer for measuring the temperature of a patient comprises a metal tip (2) with an outer contact surface (3) for contacting the tissue of a patient. A temperature sensor (4) mounted within the metal tip (2) is used to produce a signal which represents the temperature of the metal tip (2). The temperature is displayed on a display (5). The metal tip surrounds a substantially hollow cavity (8) and is of a length (L) which is at least three times, preferably five times larger than the diameter of the metal tip (2). The metal tip (2) is free from additional heating means.
