Title: Improvements in ultra-sensitive thermometers
IPC: G01K5/22
Filed: 1950-07-10
Abstract: 678,246. Thermometers. MOLLEN, P., and MOLLEN, H. July 10, 1950 [May 16, 1950; May 27, 1950], No. 17174/50. Class 97 (iii). In a thermometer for the measurement of minute variations of temperature the quantity of the expansion liquid in relation to the diameter of the capillary tube is such that for each temperature rise of 1‹ C. the liquid expands along the capillary tube at least one inch. The invention is particularly applicable to a clinical thermometer having a range of 36-39‹ C.; the capillary tube may be graduated in at least tenths of a degree C. Expansion in the range from 0‹ C. up to the range of temperatures for which the thermometer is to be employed may be taken up in a standpipe connecting the container to the capillary and decreasing progressively in diameter. In order that transmission of heat to the liquid may be rapid, the container should have a large outer surface in relation to its volume. In the thermometer shown in Fig. 5 the bulb 2 is of oval section and the capillary tube 4 is bent at approximately 130 degrees to the bulb to permit reading by the patient; an enlarged chamber 5 is formed at the top of the tube. In the form shown the capillary tube 4 is connected to a spiral capillary tube 10 within the neck of the bulb, the other end of the tube 10 communicating with the main body of the bulb ; by this means the formation of air bubble blocks is stated to be avoided. Heat-conducting material 11, such as hydrogen gas, a liquid or quartz sand, may be disposed between the tube 10 and the wall of the bulb. In a modification the tube 10 is replaced by a spiral tube extending throughout the length of the bulb and spaced therefrom, communicating with the bulb at its further end. In other modifications the spiral capillary is replaced by a bent tube or is dispensed with. The external capillary tube may be of smaller diameter in the desired range and its scale marked in tenths of a degree, the scale outside this range being marked in degrees. The scale may be provided with a mark at the basic temperature of ovum liberation in females and the tenth degree markings indicated by whole numbers. A temperature may be recorded by means of a cursor having a stretched wire or provided with a glass disc bearing a graduation line, or by means of a needle of magnetic material, mounted within the capillary tube and adjustable by an external magnet. Alternatively the temperature when mercury is the expansion liquid may be recorded in known manner by breaking of the thread, or the tube may be frosted to receive a pencil mark. The capillary tube may be prismatic to facilitate reading. A thermometer, Fig. 10, for continuous reading while in the body is straight and is provided with a protective sheath 19 of rubber having inclined rings 20. The sheath may be removed for taking readings; maximum or minimum temperature registering means are provided.
