1,020,184. Thermometer casings. J. H. G. WELIN-BERGER. Dec. 9, 1963 [Dec. 7,1962], No. 48477/63. Heading G1D. A protection device for a fever thermometer consists of two protecting covers, an inner one comprising a sheath of plastics material a and an open portion b of stiff paper into which the thermometer e is inserted, and an outer cover g in the form of an envelope into which the inner cover is inserted. When a patients temperature is taken the thermometer and inner cover are withdrawn from the outer cover g and the temperature is taken with the thermometer retained inside the inner cover. The inner cover is then replaced inside the outer cover to prevent the possible spread of infection. The sheath a is preferably covered with a disinfectant containing grease, and the outer cover coated on the inside to prevent the grease sticking to it or evaporating. The portion b of the inner cover may be made to obscure the scale of the thermometer to prevent the patient reading the scale. |
