ABSTRACT:
A pocket tube device (10) provides a support for retaining and protecting a probe-type thermometer (30) and a device for adjustment or calibration thereof. The device includes a central bore (14) adapted to closely receive and protect a tube or probe (52) of the thermometer, and abuts at one end the transverse indicator case (32) of the thermometer. The device preferably includes an external shirt-pocket clip (20) at one end and a cross-bore (26) at the other end adapted to receive the probe of the thermometer when the latter is placed therein for adjustment purposes. Wrench flats (60) extend adjacent the cross-bore and form an external socket on the device for receivable engagement with an adjustment member (58) on the underside of the indicator case. The pocket tube device serves to provide a leveraged adjustment between relatively rotatable portions of the thermometer case and thus between a pointer indicator (84) and indicia on a dial plate (48). Grippers are provided in the central bore and cross-bore for releasably retaining the thermometer probe in each of the bores when positioned therein.
