Telescopic thermometer

A thermometer system for measuring temperatures comprising:

• a telescopic body with a remote end that is adapted to be magnetically attached to a metallic air vent and a gripping end that is adapted to accept forces that enable positioning of the remote end near the metallic air vent;
• a temperature sensing unit attached to the remote end, and adapted to collect temperature measurements at the metallic air vent;
• and
• a display unit attached to the gripping end and communicatively connected to the temperature sensing unit, the display unit arranged to enable viewing of the temperature measurements received from the temperature sensing unit,
• wherein the magnetic force of the remote end is strong enough to enable the thermometer system to remain attached to the metallic air vent event without any force being applied at the gripping end, after the remote end becomes magnetically attached to the metallic air vent
• wherein the remote end comprises:
• a metal probe attached to the telescopic body at the remote end having a tip;
• a sensor provided at the tip of the probe;
• a releasable attachment controllable from the remote end, that is adapted to magnetically attach the sensing end to the vent to enable hands-free operation of the thermometer system,
• wherein the remote end comprises a thumb lock for controlling the releasable attachment,
• wherein a magnetic head comprises an adjustable magnetic swivel head, adapted to enable positioning of the probe relative to the telescopic body at a plurality of angles.
