Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An apparatus for, and a method of, electro-optically reading a target by image capture, employ a scan engine in a handheld housing having a tilted handle. A single tilted printed circuit board (PCB) in the handle has front and rear surfaces that respectively face toward and away from the target during reading. An optical assembly having a pair of fold mirrors is mounted on the rear surface, for receiving return light from the target through an aperture in the PCB along the horizontal, and for directing the return light along an internal folded optical path. An imaging lens assembly is mounted between the fold mirrors and has an imaging axis that extends generally parallel to the PCB. The imaging lens assembly projects the return light onto a solid-state, two-dimensional, image sensor to enable the return light to be detected over a field of view, and to generate an electrical signal indicative of the detected return light.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A compact scan engine for electro-optically imaging a target, comprising: a single printed circuit board (PCB) tilted at an acute angle of inclination relative to the vertical, the PCB having a tilted front surface that faces the target during imaging, and a tilted rear surface that faces away from the target during imaging, the PCB having an aperture that extends through the PCB between the tilted front and rear surfaces; a solid-state image sensor…
