Claim Text:
1. A temperature sensor comprising: a thermocouple having a measurement point; a holder with a contact surface for coming into contact with a component to be heated and with an opening, wherein electric connections of the thermocouple are led through the opening starting from the measurement point; a first metal jacket arranged on the contact surface of the holder or connected to the holder so as to pass at least partly through said contact surface such that an interior of the first metal jacket is connected through the opening to a side located opposite the contact surface or to another side of the holder, said first metal jacket comprising a first metal jacket inner surface, said first metal jacket inner surface defining a first metal jacket interior space and an internal diameter of said first metal jacket, said first metal jacket inner surface extending continuously, without interruption, from one end portion of said first metal jacket to another end portion of said first metal jacket; and a second metal jacket comprising a second metal jacket inner surface and a second metal jacket outer surface, said second metal jacket inner surface defining a second metal jacket interior space, said second metal jacket outer surface defining an external dimension of said second metal jacket, wherein the measurement point is arranged in said second metal jacket interior space, and the second metal jacket is located at least with one section in said first metal jacket interior space such that a change in a position of said measurement point is compensated by displacement of said second metal jacket relative to said first metal jacket in an unfixed state of said first metal jacket and said second metal jacket, and the second metal jacket can be or is connected at least by a partial area of the one section to the first metal jacket such that the second metal jacket is fixed in terms of its position relative to the first metal jacket in a fixed state of said first metal jacket and said second metal jacket, wherein in at least one direction, said external dimension is equal to said internal diameter of the first metal jacket in the one direction, said second metal jacket outer surface being in contact with said first metal jacket inner surface in an area that is arranged in said first metal jacket interior space.
