Abstract
The disclosed device is a hand-held probe thermometer which operates to display temperatures sensed by a temperature sensing probe, and a protective probe cover featuring one or more openings to allow for accurate airflow temperature measurements without removing the protective probe cover. The probe cover is also configured to function as a extendable handle for the duct thermometer to allow for an extended reach when taking measurements.
Claims14
A hand-held thermometer comprising:
- a housing;
- a temperature sensing probe engaged to the housing;
- a digital processing circuit disposed within said housing configured to receive a signal from said temperature sensing probe;
- a display connected to said digital processing circuit configured to display a visual indication of temperatures sensed by said temperature sensing probe;
- a probe cover configured to envelop said temperature sensing probe and to securely engage said housing;
- and
- an opening in said probe cover configured to expose a majority of said temperature sensing probe.
