Abstract

PURPOSE:To execute a thermometry by drawing out only a code and a thermometric brobe in a state that the cover of a case is opened, and also to make the titled electronic thermometer small in size so as to be suitable for women's use by constituting it with a thermometer body fixed to the inner bottom face of a compact type case, and the thermometric probe, etc. provided on the tip of a code. CONSTITUTION:In case of executing a measurement, the probe 5 is fetched by pushing a lock release button 8 and opening a cover 2, and the cord 4 of the periphery of a body part 3a is released. In this state, by holding a case with one hand and putting a thermometric probe 5 under a tongue, the display contents of a display part 3c can be seen. In this regard, an opening part 2b which coincides with the display part 3c is formed, and even in a state that the cover 2 is closed, it is also possible to execute a thermometry by drawing out the cord 4 to the outside through a notch 1a. When housing the probe, the cord 4 is wound to the outside periphery of the body part 3a, and the probe 5 is positioned on a probe holding part 6 and pressed against it, by which a detaining claw 7 is engaged elastically to the outside periphery of the upper part of the probe 5, and fixed to an accommodation state.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Technical Field of the Invention) The present invention relates to an electronic thermometer mainly used for women, such as an electronic thermometer suitable for use as a women's thermometer.

(Summary of the Invention) This electronic thermometer is used for women's thermometers, etc., and the thermometer body is fixed within a compact case, so that the thermometer body and the case are not separated.

(Background of the Invention) A women's thermometer is used to measure body temperature by looking at the display section of the thermometer body while holding a temperature measuring probe under the tongue. For this reason, this type of women's thermometer requires a relatively long connection cord on the thermometer body, and the thermometer, rope, and connection cord must be stored in a sanitary condition when not measuring temperature. Therefore, it is usually stored in a case together with the thermometer itself.

However, the case is not necessary when measuring temperature,
Because they are easy to lose, and once lost, they remain exposed, the thermometer tubes are likely to be stored in unhygienic conditions.

In addition, the size of the thermometer itself is determined by the amount of internal circuitry, batteries, switches, and other components, and in addition, relatively long cords and temperature probes must be bundled and organized in the case. Therefore, the case is larger than the thermometer itself, and it is also difficult to handle when taking it out and storing it.

In other words, since women's thermometers are belongings exclusively for women,
In addition to its practicality as a measuring instrument, it is desirable that it be small and lightweight so that it can be carried in a handbag, etc.; for example, it is easy to handle because it has a shape and size similar to cosmetic tools, which are unique to women, and is also useful as a type of fashion item. It is also necessary to take gender into consideration.

(Objective of the Invention) The present invention provides a non-separable case and a thermometer body, so that temperature can be measured by pulling out only the cord and thermometer probe with the case cover open. The purpose is to have a small shape suitable for women's belongings.

(Structure and Effects of the Invention) In order to achieve the above object, the electronic thermometer of the present invention has the following features:
A compact case, a cover connected to one side edge of the case via a hinge member, an electronic thermometer body that is fixed to the inner bottom of the case and has a display and operation switches on the surface, and the thermometer body. It consists of a cord pulled out from the outer periphery of the thermometer, a temperature measuring probe installed at the tip of the cord, and a locking tool located in the gap between the thermometer body and the case that removably fixes the temperature measuring probe inside the case. The temperature measuring probe is housed in the case by wrapping the cord around the thermometer body and holding the temperature measuring probe in a locking tool along the gap.

According to the above configuration, the temperature measuring probe can be stored in a hygienic state in the case when not in use without losing the case alone, and the cord and temperature measuring probe can be easily removed and handled when stored. It's easy.

Furthermore, since the case itself is compact, the marketability of the female thermometer is improved.

In other words, as mentioned above, in this type of women's thermometer,
In addition to its practicality as a measuring instrument, it is also required to be small, lightweight, easy to carry, and have a certain kind of fashionability, just like cosmetic tools that are unique to women. These points can be fully satisfied and the product quality can be improved.

(Description of Embodiments) FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the female thermometer according to the present invention in a used state, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the female thermometer in a stored state.

In the figure, this women's thermometer is in compact case 1.
A cover 2 is rotatably attached to an example part of the case 1 via a hinge part 2a, and is used to cover the opening of the case 1. A thermometer body 3 fixed across a gap d, a cord 4 pulled out from one side of the thermometer body 3, and a temperature measuring body connected integrally to the tip of the cord 4 bent into an almost L-shape. It is roughly composed of a probe 5.

The thermometer body 3 includes a flat box-shaped body part 3a and a body part 3a.
It is formed integrally on the upper surface and consists of a surface 7 flange portion 3b for holding the cord 4 in a wound state, and a display portion 3C and a set/reset display portion are provided on the surface of the surface 7 lange portion 3b. An operation switch 3d is arranged.

The cord 4 protrudes outward from one side of the main body 3a and is drawn out through a notch 1a provided in the side of the case 1.

The end of the cord 4 on the case 3 side is joined to a circuit section (not shown) disposed inside the case 3 by soldering or the like. Further, the length of the cord 4 is considerably longer than shown.

Further, the tip end of the cord 4 is connected to a lead wire of a temperature sensing element (not shown) loaded in the temperature measuring probe 5 by soldering or the like.

Furthermore, a lock release button 8 is provided at the tip of the case 1. Opposed to this, a locking pawl 9 is integrally provided at the rotating tip of the cover 2, and as shown in FIG. As a result, the locking pawl 9 is disengaged, and at the same time, the lock release button 8 comes into sliding contact with the tapered surface of the distal end of the locking pawl 9, so that the cover 2 is positioned in a slightly open state.

Further, at the protruding end of the lock release button 8 inside the case 1, a locking device, that is, a box-shaped 70-bar holding portion 6 and a pair of locking claws on both sides thereof, is provided in the gap d between the case 1 and the main body 3. 7 is integrally erected from the inner bottom surface of the case 1.

In this embodiment, the locking tool is provided in the gap between the front part of the case and the thermometer body, but it goes without saying that it may be provided in the gap between the side part of the case and the thermometer main body.

To store the cord 4 and probe 5 from the state shown in FIG.
When the probe 5 is placed on the bulb holder 6 and pressed against it, the locking claw 7 elastically engages with the upper outer periphery of the probe 5, and the probe 5 is It is fixed in the stored state. Next, when the cover 2 is closed, it looks like a compact case as shown in FIG.

In addition, when performing measurement from the stored state, by pressing the lock release button 8, the cover 2 will be in a slightly open state, and in this state, the cover 2 will be opened wide as shown in FIG.
Just take it out and unwind the cord 4.

By holding the temperature measuring probe 5 under the tongue while holding the case with one hand, the displayed content on the display section 3C can be viewed.

Note that the cover 2 has an opening window 2 that corresponds to the display section 3C.
b is formed so that even when the cover 2 is open, the cord 4 can be pulled out through the notch 1a to measure the temperature.
