Abstract
A mounting apparatus for an optical reader which provides adjustment of the reader along two axes. The apparatus comprises a support member having a slotted section defined by first and second arms projecting from each end of the support member and extending in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. There is a plate member adjacent and operatively coupled to the support member for clamping the support member to the support shaft, whereby the support member can be adjustably positioned in the first direction. A travelling nut is slidably positioned in the slotted section, and has an aperture in which the optical reader is held. The travelling nut includes a threaded hole engaged by a threaded portion of a thumb screw. The thumb screw extends through apertures in the first and second arms and into the slotted section for adjusting the position of the travelling nut in the second direction.
