Abstract
A hands-free measuring by an operator a temperature of a subject is carried out by arranging a remote temperature measuring module including a contactless infrared thermometer with a laser providing a pointer spot, on an operator's head, positioning the operator with the applied temperature measuring module at a safe distance from the subject, moving the operator's body and/or head so as to point the contactless infrared thermometer and the laser pointer spot at the subject hands-free, activating the temperature measuring module and thereby measuring a temperature of the subject by the contactless infrared thermometer hands-free, and displaying the measured temperature of the subject on a digital display.

A method of hand-free measuring by an operator a temperature of a subject, comprising
- arranging a remote temperature measuring module including a contactless infrared thermometer with a laser providing a pointer spot, on an operator's head;
- positioning the operator with the applied remote temperature measuring module at a safe distance from the subject;
- moving the operators body and/or head so as to point the contactless infrared thermometer and the laser pointer spot at the subject hands-free;
- activating the remote temperature measuring module and thereby measuring a temperature of the subject by the contactless infrared thermometer hands-free;
- displaying the measured temperature of the subject on a digital display;
- transforming by a microprocessor of the contactless infrared thermometer a DC current corresponding to an intensity of infrared radiation from the subject to digital symbols and transmitting them by wires inside a semi-rigid conduit to the digital display which is connected with the microprocessor by the wires extending inside the semi-rigid conduit;
- and
- mounting the remote measuring module on a face shield that is held on an operator's head so that the display is visible to the operator without obstructing observation of the subject.
A device for hand-free measuring by an operator a temperature of a subject, comprising
- a remote temperature measuring module including a contactless infrared thermometer with a laser providing a pointer spot;
- a digital display;
- means for arranging the remote temperature measuring module including the contactless infrared thermometer with the laser pointer on the operator's head so that the operator with the applied remote temperature measuring module is positioned at a safe distance from the subject;
- means for activating the remote temperature measuring module and thereby measuring a temperature of the subject by the contactless infrared thermometer such that when the operator is moved so that the contactless infrared thermometer and the laser pointer spot points hands-free at the subject and the remote temperature measuring module is activated, a temperature of the subject is measured by the contactless infrared thermometer and the measured temperature of the subject is displayed on the digital display hands-free,
- wherein the contactless infrared thermometer has a microprocessor transforming a DC current corresponding to an intensity of infrared radiation from the subject to digital symbols and transmitting them by wires inside a semi-rigid conduit to the digital display which is connected with the microprocessor by the wires extending inside the semi-rigid conduit wherein the remote measuring module is mounted on a face shield which is held on an operator's head so that the display is visible to the operator without obstructing observation of the subject.
