Abstract

This invention is to provide an adhesive thermometer, comprising: a sense unit, a display unit and an attachment unit, where the display unit and the sense unit are combined into a rectangular parallelepiped, and the display unit is located at the top while the sense unit at the bottom. The attachment unit is formed by an adhesive pad and the rectangular parallelepiped, which makes the sense unit to be disposed for exposing downward. The bottom of the adhesive pad is provided with gluey substance, and a protective pad is stuck to the gluey substance for temporary attachment. When using, simply tear down the protective pad and stick the thermometer to both ends of a measured location by means of the exposed gluey substance, and adhere the sense unit to the measured location to sense the temperature, followed by exhibiting the sensed temperature at the display unit in terms of different message types: numeral, color, sound or odor.

Claims (12)

1. An adhesive thermometer, comprising:

a) a sense unit, for sensing a temperature of a measured location;

b) a display unit, for showing the temperature measured by said sense unit, and joining said sense unit into a rectangular parallelepiped; and

c) an attachment unit, for integrating with the rectangular parallelepiped, said sense unit being located beneath the display unit, said attachment unit being provided with an adhesive pad, once the adhesive pad is combined with the rectangular parallelepiped, said sense unit being disposed for exposure downward, and the bottom of the adhesive pad being provided with a gluey substance for attaching the adhesive pad adjacent the measured location thereby causing the sense unit to be seamlessly contacted with the measured location,

wherein an edge of a bottom side of said sense unit is indented to form a joining fringe, the adhesive pad of said attachment unit is provided with an opening, a top edge along the opening has the gluey substance such that the joining fringe of the sense unit adheres to the top edge along the opening on the adhesive pad, and said sense unit is exposed downward through the opening.

2. An adhesive thermometer as in claim 1 wherein the adhesive pad is provided with a protective pad at its bottom, which is to prevent the gluey substance from exposure to the air, and the removal of the protective pad being needed when using.

3. An adhesive thermometer as in claim 2 wherein the protective pad is a single piece, which is stuck at the bottom side of the adhesive pad and said sense unit.

4. An adhesive thermometer as in claim 2 wherein the protective pad is made of two pieces, which are stuck at both ends of the bottom side of the adhesive pad and crossed over below the bottom side of said sense unit.

5. An adhesive thermometer as in claim 2 wherein the protective pad is made of multiple pieces, which are stuck at the bottom side of the adhesive pad and said sense unit.

6. An adhesive thermometer as in claim 1 wherein the display unit is provided with a display screen which shows the temperature sensed by said sense unit in terms of numerals and/or states.

7. An adhesive thermometer as in claim 6 wherein the display unit is provided with a sound generator which generates sound to represent the temperature sensed by said sense unit.

8. An adhesive thermometer as in claim 6 wherein the display unit is provided with an odor diffuser which diffuses odor to represent the temperature sensed by said sense unit.
