Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to prevention of falling of a thermometer cover, which is used at the time of temperature measurement, for the purpose of preventing contact infection, and to reduce the occurrence of pain or injury to the skin.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, there has been a thermometer cover made of a thermoplastic resin for the purpose of blocking direct contact between the skin and the thermometer at the time of temperature measurement to prevent contact infection.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 This had the following disadvantages. (B) The body parts (axilla, mouth, rectum) whose body temperature is to be measured with a thermometer are wet with body fluids (sweat, saliva, intestinal fluid). When reading the body temperature, the thermometer should be used when removing the thermometer from the body part. The cover may fall off the thermometer due to its wetness, which hinders the continuation of temperature measurement. (B) As shown in FIG. 3, the handle (4) had a rectangular shape, and the corner (6) of the handle (4) was caught on the skin when it touched the skin, causing the thermometer cover to slip and fall off the thermometer. (C) When the corner (6) of the handle (4) was caught on the skin, there was a risk of causing pain and damaging the skin.

[0004]

[Means for solving the problem]

 Change the shape of the handle (4) of the thermometer cover from a rectangular shape to a semi-circular shape or a semi-elliptical shape that is less likely to be caught in the skin when it comes into contact with the skin and plucks the skin. Furthermore, the sticky substance (5) for fixing to the thermometer, for the purpose of preventing the bag-shaped structure (1) from falling out of the thermometer, interferes with the insertion of the thermometer into the bag-shaped structure (1). Install it inside the handle (4) so that it will not be damaged. The present invention is a thermometer cover having the above-mentioned structure for use during temperature measurement.

[0005]

[Action]

 This prevents the thermometer cover from falling off and reduces the occurrence of pain or scratches that may occur when the handle (4) gets in contact with the skin and plucks the skin, and the thermometer directly contacts the skin. The temperature can be measured without.

[0006]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described. (B) Provide a bag-like structure (1) that encloses the part of the thermometer that contacts the human body during temperature measurement. (B) An approximately semicircular or semielliptical handle (4) is provided at the opening (3) at one end of the bag-shaped structure (1) for inserting the thermometer from the temperature measuring section. (C) The sticky substance (5) for fixing to the thermometer for the purpose of preventing the bag-shaped structure (1) from falling out of the thermometer does not hinder the insertion of the thermometer into the bag-shaped structure (1). The inside of the handle (4). It is made of a material such as a thermoplastic resin that blocks direct contact between the skin and the thermometer at the time of temperature measurement, and does not hinder the accuracy of temperature measurement, and is less likely to damage the skin. The bag-like structure (1) can be molded so as to fit the shape of the thermometer for electronic or mercury type or for children so that the thermometer can be easily inserted and the accuracy of temperature measurement is not hindered. The shape of the handle (4) does not need to be generally semicircular or semi-elliptical, as long as it does not catch on the skin and peck the skin when it comes into contact, the handle (4) should conform to the shape of the thermometer. It may be polygonal, wave-shaped or mountain-shaped. The sticky substance (5) for fixing to the thermometer has a round shape, and it is not necessary to place the sticky substance (5) at one place in the center of the handle (4). The number, size, shape, position, etc. of the sticky adhesive substance (5) can be changed depending on the shape of the thermometer. For fixing to thermometer Adhesive substance (5) that has a surface that allows the adhesive substance (5) to be easily peeled off from the mount is attached to the adhesive substance for fixing (5), and the thermometer is inserted into the bag-like structure (1). The thermometer can be easily inserted into the bag-shaped structure (1) by peeling off the rear mount and exposing the fixing adhesive substance (5) on the thermometer cover to fix the thermometer cover to the thermometer cover. The thermometer cover is attached to the backing that has a surface that allows the adhesive substance (5) for fixing to the thermometer to be peeled off more easily than the backing, and the thermometer cover is attached with an adhesive that has heat or weak viscosity according to the form of the bag-like structure (1). Stick with an electrostatic force, etc., and fix the adhesive substance (5) on the backing in advance, lift the handle (4) with your finger when using, insert the thermometer into the bag-like structure (1), and then fix it. The thermometer cover can be fixed to the thermometer with the adhesive substance (5), and the mount can be removed for use in temperature measurement. The thermometer cover is sandwiched between two pieces of mount paper that have a surface where the adhesive substance (5) for fixing is easily peeled off from the mount paper, with an adhesive having heat or weak viscosity, or electrostatic force, and a bag of the thermometer cover. The structure (1) or the whole thermometer cover can be packaged so as not to be exposed. Align the thermometer cover with the sticky adhesive substance (5) facing upward or downward, and lay it so that the tips (2) and handles (4) of the bag-like structure are staggered one by one. By using the viscosity of the adhesive substance (5) for fixation, the thermometer cover can be packaged so that it can be continuously taken out. The thermometer cover is attached to the bag-like structure (1) of another thermometer cover in a straight line by using the viscosity of the adhesive substance for fixation (5). By repeating this operation, the thermometer covers can be connected so as to form a single tape, and the completed tape can be wound or folded and packaged so that the thermometer cover can be continuously taken out. The bag-shaped structure (1) of the thermometer cover is substantially flat before the thermometer is inserted. The bag-shaped structure (1), the handle (4), or both are manufactured so that the bag-shaped structure (1), the handle (4), or both of the other thermometer covers come into contact with and are connected to each other, and the connecting portion. A perforation can be inserted into the thermometer cover so that the thermometer cover can be removed continuously.

[0007]

[Effect of the invention]

 This proposal has the above-mentioned structure. When using it, hold the handle (4) with your fingers and insert the thermometer from the temperature measuring part through the opening (3) of the bag-like structure (1) to fix it. Press the sticky substance (5) on the thermometer and fix the thermometer cover on the thermometer. Therefore, the thermometer cover is prevented from coming off, and the shape of the handle (4) does not have the corners (6). It has the effect of reducing the occurrence.
