Abstract:
A contact type thermometer assembly comprising:a contact plate supported by a support bar on each side of said contact plate;an annular elastic member having an exterior surface and an interior surface, said annular elastic member formed of an elastic sheet, said elastic sheet having a first coupling end and a second coupling end, wherein said annular elastic member is formed when said first and second coupling ends are connected to each other;a temperature sensitive portion located at a central position of said contact plate between said annular elastic member and said contact plate;a support having a support face facing said exterior surface of said annular elastic member and a fixture clearance fit above said support face and facing said interior surface of said annular elastic member, wherein said annular elastic member is held between said fixture and said support face of said support; anda holder having oblong guide holes, wherein said support bars are clearance fit into said guide holes such that at the side in which said temperature sensitive portion is located, said contact plate contacts in parallel an object to be temperature measured, wherein an elastic force acts on a back of said contact plate by elastically deforming said annular elastic member when said contact plate contacts the object.
