Patent ID: 7318273

Claim:
A method for manufacturing a measuring probe comprising a housing and two electrodes, including the method steps: (a) forming a receptacle device, including providing an electrode wire sheathed with extruded plastic, the wire protruding out of the receptacle device on both ends, wherein the electrode wire is attached to the receptacle device at a first end of the electrode wire, wherein in order to form the first electrode, a glass tube is pushed over a second end of the electrode wire until the glass tube comes in contact with a recess in the receptacle device, and wherein the glass tube and receptacle device are attached to one another; (b) forming a base plate having a recess in the shape of the receptacle device, including providing an additional electrode wire sheathed with extruded plastic, the additional electrode wire protruding out of the base plate on both ends, wherein the additional electrode wire is attached to the base plate at an end of the additional electrode wire which protrudes out of the base plate; (c) providing a sheathing having a first opening in the form of the base plate and a second opening in the shape of the glass tube is provided, wherein in order to form the housing, the sheathing and base plate are sealed together; and (d) pushing the glass tube through the recess in the base plate until the glass tube protrudes out of an opening in the sheathing and the receptacle device comes in contact with the base plate.
