Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an inexpensive and rugged scanner which can be easily replaced with another by preparing an optical module and a PCB(printed circuit board) having a stationary electric connector, which is attachably connected to a coupler that electrically connects the optical module fixed to the PCB to the PCB. SOLUTION: An optical module and a PCB 212 are prepared. The optical module includes an optical scanner 206 which scans a mark to be read, an optical detector which detects the light reflected from the mark that is currently read and also supplies the data signal shown by the mark and a movable electric coupler. The PCB 212 has a stationary electric connector which is attachably connected to a coupler that is fixed to the PCB 212 and electrically connects the optical module to the PCB 212, and contains an electric circuit fixed to the PCB 212 for control of the optical module. The electric circuit prepared on the PCB 212 includes a drive device that drives the scanner 206.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical code reading system capable of increasing the inclusive area of the system by improving possibility to read a cods symbol on an object arbitrarily directed in an object volume. SOLUTION: This coma reading system is provided with plural images or scan modules oriented in various directions in respect to the object, handy reader 412, dock device 414, operator side rail, arch-shaped tunnel 416 and mirror. Besides, integrated gauges, input pad, system controller and display devices 419 and 422 ears provided as components related to a sales room facility or code reading terminal.

Abstract: A bar code reader has an integrated scanning component module which is mountable on a printed circuit board. In one embodiment, the module may include the digitizer/decoder electronics, enabling the module to be used with a generic PCB. In some embodiments, the module includes a high speed optical scanning arrangement having an optical element which extends longitudinally of a flexible member, secured at one end. In other embodiments, the invention extends to a hand--held optical scanner having a scanning assembly, detector and data transmission coupling all mounted to a common printed circuit board, preferably located within a manually-graspable handle. In yet a further embodiment, an abuse-detector or accelerometer is provided for determining when the device is exposed to deceleration above a predetermined limit, and optionally for automatically shutting down applications programs and for providing a black-box-record of a short time frame before the device was exposed to an unexpected shock. Preferably, the reader is shock protected by a thermo-plastic elastomer housing section. An outgoing light beam is directed at a non-orthogonal angle relative to the PCB.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to systems and techniques for reading optical codes, and more particularly to code reading systems with plural imaging or scanning modules pointed in various directions toward a target volume, which increase the likelihood that a code symbol on an arbitrarily oriented object in the target volume will be read. Other aspects of the invention relate to use and configuration of hand held readers, docking devices, operator side rails, arched tunnels and mirrors for increasing the coverage of the system. Additional aspects of the invention relate to components associated with point of sale installations or code reading terminals including integrated scales, input pads, system controls and displays.
