Abstract
Temperature monitoring device for detecting actual temperatures of contents within a refrigerator or freezer. The temperature monitoring device has a silicone body containing a circuit assembly with a temperature sensor positioned near a thermal break. A bidirectional flange located on top of the device allows it to be suspended from a wire rack. A port located on the body permits the temperature monitoring device to be plugged into a power source and transmit temperature data.
Claims12
A temperature monitoring device, said temperature monitoring device comprising:
- a body, said body having a top end defined by a first width;
- a bidirectional flange connected to said top end of said body, said bidirectional flange defined by a second width;
- a circuit assembly located within said body, said circuit assembly comprising a first end and a second end, and said circuit assembly comprising temperature sensor configured to provide temperature data, said temperature sensor located on said second end, and said circuit assembly comprising a thermal break located between said first end and said temperature sensor;
- and
- wherein said bidirectional flange is flexible, and said first width is narrower than said second width.
A temperature monitoring device comprising:
- a solid silicone volume, said silicone volume comprising:
- a body, said body having a generally triangular prism shape, said body having a front face, a rear face, a bottom side, a right side, and a left side, a first vertex between said bottom side and said right side, a second vertex between said bottom side and said left side, and a transected vertex between said right side and said left side;
- a bidirectional flange, said bidirectional flange extending from said front face to said rear face along said transected vertex, said bidirectional flange comprising two underhangs;
- a circuit assembly located within said body, said circuit assembly comprising a temperature sensor in direct contact with said solid silicone volume, and said temperature sensor configured to provide data related to the temperature of the solid silicone volume;
- wherein said bidirectional flange is flexible and has a width greater than the width of said transected vertex.
