Abstract:
1. A device for measuring the body core temperature of a person, the device comprising a means for firmly wrapping around the upper body of the person; a double temperature sensor connected with said means for wrapping around the upper body such that it is pressed elastically onto the upper body in the state in which it is put on in the area of the sternum of the person, said double temperature sensor including first and second temperature sensors arranged spaced from one another by a known thermal conductivity, said first temperature sensor being arranged against the area of the sternum, said second temperature sensor being arranged in combination with said first temperature sensor and said thermal conductivity to measure heat flow through the area of the sternum, the double temperature sensor being fastened with a fastening means of variable extension to the means for firmly wrapping around the upper body such that the distance between the double temperature sensor and the means for wrapping around the upper body is variable.
