ABSTRACT:
A deflectable probe for use in a thermometer. The deflectable probe is constituted by a bendable probe body and a hollow tip member secured thereto. Furthermore, a deflectable member includes a main portion disposed in the bendable probe body. When the bendable probe body is subjected to a force, deformation of the main portion occurs. In particular, the deformation cannot be undone by a return force from the bendable probe body when the applied force is removed, so that the bendable probe body is sustained in a bent form.
