1. A temperature sensing glove, comprising:
- at least one temperature sensor;
a plurality of memory locations;
a plurality of finger portions;
at least one touch-sensitive pad which is associated with one of said plurality of memory locations;
a thumb portion; and
at least one activating element which, upon contacting one of the at least one touch-sensitive pads, assigns subsequent readings of the at least one temperature sensor to the memory location associated with that finger portion.

17. A temperature sensing glove, comprising:
-
a temperature sensor disposed in a first finger of the glove; a temperature sensor activator disposed in a second finger of the glove, and being adapted to activate said temperature sensor when it is brought into proximal contact therewith; a plurality of memory locations; at least one touch-sensitive pad which is associated with one of said plurality of memory locations; and at least one activating element disposed in each of said first and second fingers of the glove which, upon contacting one of the at least one touch-sensitive pads, assigns subsequent readings of the at least one temperature sensor to the memory location associated with that finger portion.

18. A method for monitoring tire temperatures, comprising:
-
providing a temperature sensing glove having (a) at least one temperature sensor, (b) a plurality of memory locations, (c) for each of said at least one temperature sensors, an activator which assigns a temperature reading made by the at least one temperature sensor to one of the plurality of memory locations, and (d) a display adapted to display temperature readings; contacting a tire with the glove such that the at least one temperature sensor is in thermal contact with the tire; and reading a temperature reading from the display. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22)
