Abstract: A self-contained handheld infrared medical thermometer having an elongated probe (15) that is reciprocably movable between a retracted position, located fully within the thermometer housing (11), and an extended position, located exterior to the housing. When extended, the probe (15) is adapted for insertion into a patient's outer ear canal to measure the patient's body temperature. When the probe is retracted within the housing (11), a reference plate (21) is pivoted in front of the probe (15), to facilitate calibration. Advancement of the probe (15), to its extended, operative position automatically pivots the reference plate (21) away from the advancing probe (15) and, in addition, automatically advances a disposable protective cover (43), from a container (45) for a large number of such covers into a position where it automatically stretches over the advancing probe (15) to provide hygienic protection.

Abstract: This invention relates to a container for carrying a fan-folded stack of plastic sheet assemblies (11) and for allowing the assemblies to be dispensed, one at a time, while preventing the assemblies from becoming jammed. The stack of sheet assemblies (11) is retained behind a constriction (45a, 45b) within an elongated chamber having a corresponding shape and slightly larger size. Pulling the forward-most sheet assembly through a narrow channel and an exit slot (23) at the end of the container flexes a trailing assembly past the constriction. A shallow recess (49) in the narrow channel receives a sheet assembly in position to be dispensed, and the rear periphery (50) of the recess inhibits the assembly from intentionally being moved back into the container.
