A removable adapter device is integrated into a cradle for holding a handheld scanner. The adapter device enables the cradle to be removed and reattached or removed and replaced with another cradle without needing access to or changing cables that connect the cradle to a host system. The adapter device provides a standardize configuration, connection, or both to allow simplified replacement of different manufacturer cradles and scanners without concern about the cable connection to the host system. The adapter device acts as an interface for data and power transmission between the cradle and the host system.

Systems and methods for adjusting one or more settings, such as the focus and/or aperture settings, for the lenses enclosed within the imager. The imager may include a base, one or more arms, a lens assembly, and a light source assembly. The lens assembly may be clamped between the base and the light source assembly such that the components within the lens assembly are hermetically sealed and thus protected against intrusion from water and/or air borne particles. The imager may include one or more components to change the settings for the enclosed lenses. The components may include an internal ring that may be used to manipulate the lens, where the internal ring is coupled to an external ring that is accessible to a user. The components may include a motor that controls one or more gears that are coupled to the internal ring that is used to manipulate the lens.

Code reader

Optical scanner

Device () for reading coded information, comprising a first optical group () including a first light source and first focusing means in optical alignment with said light source along an optical axis (X), and at least one further optical group including a further light source and further focusing means in optical alignment with the further light source along an optical axis (X) parallel to the optical axis (X). The first optical group () and the further optical group () are housed in a single one-piece block () obtained through a single mechanical processing that, preferably, is a machine tool processing. The number of components of the reading device is thus reduced and the calibration operations necessary to achieve the desired optical alignment between light sources and with the respective focusing means are simplified and automated. Consequently, the costs of material and qualified workers are reduced, as is the time needed to calibrate the reading device.

An optical information acquisition device that comprises a main body and a connector assembly associated with said main body and comprising three connectors. The connector assembly can be rotated with respect to said main body between a first operating position wherein said connectors extend substantially perpendicularly to a first side of said main body and a second operating position in which said connectors extend substantially perpendicularly to a second side of said main body. The three connectors are positioned at the vertices of an acute-angled triangle, more preferably at the vertices of an equilateral triangle.

An optical code reader includes a manually operated focusing distance adjustment mechanism, which includes an electronic memory of a configuration parameter representing the desired focusing distance.

Optical code reader

An optical receiving device () for an optical code reader is described, comprising a solid body, of a transparent material, having a light input face (), a light output face () for coupling with a photodetector device (), said output face () being substantially perpendicular to said input face (), and an oblique face () with respect to both said input face () and said output face (), characterized in that the mutual orientation of the faces (--) of the optical receiving device () is such that the light entering from said input face () within a desired field of view is concentrated onto said output face () by total internal reflection.
