ABSTRACT:
A fever thermometer having an adhesive on one side of a flexible backing web for adhering the web to the skin of the human body, the web being provided with a background color, and having a plurality of numerical display areas on the opposite side of the web, each numerical display area including an encapsulated liquid crystal indicator, the color spectrum of each liquid crystal indicator being responsive to a different specific temperature range, and the liquid crystal indicators being initially of a color to complement the background color so as to be subtantially invisible at temperatures below the minimum threshold temperature of the indicator having the lowest temperature range. A directional indicator is provided on the opposite side of the web for enabling adherence of the web with the numerical display areas in a predetermined attitude when the numerical display areas are substantially invisible at temperatures below the minimum threshold temperature so that the numerical display areas can be easily read when made visible at temperatures within the responsive temperature ranges of the liquid crystal indicators. The numerical display areas having liquid crystal indicators that indicate a fever condition are located at one side of the directional indicator, and the numerical display areas having liquid crystal indicators that indicate a non-fever condition are located at the opposite side of the directional indicator.
