Claims14
An ear type thermometer for metering a body temperature, comprising:
- a thermometer body;
- a probe mounted in said thermometer body and adapted to be inserted into an ear, with a probe cover comprised of a preformed cylindrical body having an open proximal end and a closed distal end, a screwing member for fixing said probe cover mounted on said probe, and temperature measuring means for measuring the body temperature based on infrared rays from the ear passing through the probe cover.
An ear type thermometer for metering a body temperature, comprising:
- a thermometer body;
- a probe mounted in said thermometer body and adapted to be inserted into an ear, with a probe cover comprised of a preformed cylindrical body having an open proximal end and a closed distal end, at least one screwing member having a function to fix said probe cover mounted on said probe, the at least one screwing member being replaceable with at least one other screwing member having a different shape and size, and temperature measuring means for measuring the body temperature based on infrared rays from the ear passing through the probe cover.
