Abstract

PCT No. PCT/SE78/00013 Sec. 371 Date Mar. 3, 1980 Sec. 102(e) Date June 1, 1979 PCT Filed July 3, 1978 PCT Pub. No. WO80/00192 PCT Pub. Date Feb. 7, 1980 The invention relates to a device for the gripping of a temperature measuring device and for the reading of measuring values obtained with this device. The said temperature measuring device comprises a temperature-sensitive sensor, whose electrical properties, e.g. the resistance, vary with the temperature, e.g. a thermistor, and which is connected via two contacts to two electric conductors arranged on a support, which electric conductors terminate in two contact surfaces at the end remote from the sensor. An arrangement in accordance with the invention is intended mainly to be used for medical temperature measuring, characterized by at least two measuring contact surfaces which can be coupled together with the said contact surfaces, arranged on the inside or insides of the jaws or a tonglike construction. These measuring contact surfaces constitute a circuit which in addition comprises a source of energy, a display unit and means for the conversion of the measuring value obtained to a value which can be read on the display unit.
