Attorney, Agent or Firm: Lee, Jr.; Newton H.
A clinical thermometer device includes a body with means for reading out temperature electrically or electronically and a probe body supporting a pair of thermo-couple wires which are thin and of themselves not self-supporting, with the thermo-couple junction exposed at an end of the probe body. The probe is oriented with respect to a plug receptacle to establish correct polarity, or wires on the probe and contacts in the plug establish correct polarity regardless of orientation. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION I claim: 1.
An electrical clinical thermometer comprising display means for indicating a sensed temperature, a temperature sensing probe, and a releasable connector means for connecting said probe to said display means, said probe including an elongated support body, non-self-supporting thin thermo-couple wires extending along and supported by said body from said connector means and terminating in a thermo-couple junction adjacent to the end of said body, said junction being formed between ends of said wires which are bared and which are suspended in spaced relation to the material of said body to be exposed for direct contact with the tissue of a patient, said junction being in a gap free of contact with any solid material.
2.
An electrical clinical thermometer as defined in claim 1, said body being a hollow thin walled cylinder.
3.
An electrical clinical thermometer as defined in claim 1, said body being composed of a foam material with non-interconnected cavities.
4.
An electrical clinical thermometer as defined in claim 1, said body being spatulate.
5.
An electrical clinical thermometer as defined in claim 1, said connector means having contacts of the same material as said wires, and means for orienting said wires and contacts for coengagement of like wires and materials.
6.
An electrical clinical thermometer as defined in claim 1; said body being a hollow plastic cylinder having said wires embedded therein said cylinder having spaced prongs containing said wires extending beyond the end of said cylinder, with said wires bridging said prongs to form said junction.
7.
An electrical clinical thermometer as defined in claim 6, said prongs being small segments of said cylinder.
8.
An electrical clinical thermometer comprising display means for indicating a sensed temperature, a temperature sensing probe, and a releasable connector means for connecting said probe to said display means, said probe including an elongated support body, non-self-supporting thin thermo-couple wires extending along and supported by said body from said connector means and terminating in a thermo-couple junction adjacent to the end of said body and suspended in spaced relation to the material of said body to be exposed for direct contact with the tissue of a patient, said connector means having contacts of the same material as said wires and providing radially spaced circumferentially continuous contact surfaces, said wires being spaced for engagement with said surfaces
