Illumination Device For Hand-Held-Scanner Body

摘要

A device for illuminating a portion of a hand-held scanner to indicate a status of the scanner provides an even distribution of light emission. The device might include various elements that facilitate an even distribution of the light. For instance, in one aspect the device includes a set of reflective surfaces that are positioned throughout the scanner together with light-emitting devices (e.g., LED) in a manner to evenly transmit light emissions. In another aspect, the device includes a light-diffusing translucent member, which smoothly and evenly presents the light emissions that are reflected off of the reflective surfaces.

主权项

1. An illumination system for illuminating a body of a hand-held scanner, the illumination system comprising:
a first reflecting plate that extends from a base and that includes one or more surfaces for reflecting light emitted from one or more light-emitting devices; a second reflecting plate that extends from the base and that includes one or more surfaces for reflecting light emitted from one or more light-emitting devices; and a first set of one or more light-emitting devices positioned between the first reflecting plate and the second reflecting plate.
