Abstract
A temperature measuring device for electrically measuring the temperature at a predetermined point within a body member is disclosed. The device comprises a temperature sensor electrically isolated within a metallic sheath, the sheath being securely attached to a deformable mounting head. The head is deformed to produce a gripping force to intimately hold it in position within a cavity disposed in the body member and to maintain the sensor in a temperature sensing relationship with the predetermined point of interest. A spacer member is provided to substantially fill the remainder of the cavity to prevent distortion of the temperature field. A deformable lip is disposed about the periphery of the cavity which overlaps the spacer member and provides a holding force to assist in maintaining the sensor in position.
