Abstract
A novel wave guide assembly for use in an IR thermometer of the type used in measuring temperature of the tympanic membrane of the ear for body temperature determinations. The assembly provides a unique arrangement of spacers and a protective sheath to create a durable yet inexpensive wave guide. The spacer includes radially offset contact points that induce moment arms to absorb shock and other forms of rough handling encountered in daily use.
