Abstract:
1. A double temperature sensor for determining body temperature, the double temperature sensor comprising: a first temperature sensor element for measuring a near-surface temperature of ambient air; a second temperature sensor element for measuring a temperature of a skin surface, said first temperature sensor element and said second temperature sensor element being arranged in a sensor block; a holding element at least partially surrounding said sensor block; an adhesive element connected on one side to said holding element, said adhesive element being adapted for fixing said holding element on the skin surface with another side of said adhesive element, said adhesive element being made with a layer of foamed material and a gel layer; a spring element, which acts on said sensor block and whose spring force directs said sensor block towards the skin surface when said adhesive element fixes said holding element to the skin surface, at least two connection cables for connecting the temperature sensor elements to an analyzing unit, wherein a first connection cable is arranged between said layer of foamed material and said gel layer and a second connection cable is arranged on said layer of foamed material.
