Infrared thermometer with pistol grip handle and rechargeable battery pack

An infrared thermometer 810 has a removable and rechargeable battery pack in a pistol grip handle. The thermometer includes a main body 820 having a first axis 850 and a handle 815 having a second axis 855. The handle is offset from the main body and is attached to a lower portion of the main body along the second axis, forming an oblique angle with respect to the first axis. A first recess includes a mating interface for receiving the battery pack, and a second recess receives an operational control for the thermometer, such as a trigger 830. The battery pack includes a casing and an outer housing. The casing is shaped and sized to fit within the first recess to connect the battery pack to the thermometer. The outer housing follows contours of the thermometer to match the shape of an outer casing of the handle and extend a length of the handle.

The recess includes terminals to engage corresponding contacts on the battery pack: when the battery pack is removed, the terminals are exposed, and when the battery pack is fitted the terminals are covered by the battery pack. The outer housing of the battery pack follows the contours of the handle, and forms a lower part of the handle when the battery pack is inserted. A trigger 830 may be provided in a further recess of the handle for controlling the operation of the device. Voltage, current, resistance, capacitance, frequency, temperature, dew point or humidity may be measured. A display is also provided. Also disclosed is a non-contact clamp meter, where the trigger operates the clamp.
