<p>A portable bar code scanner includes a base member (20,22) and a overhanging scanning housing (24) secured to the base member (20,22). A laser power supply (48) mounted in the housing (24) outputs a laser beam (38) along a horizontal light path to a routing mirror (54) which directs the laser beam horizontally onto a rotating polyground mirror (56) mounted at an angle to the horizontal, whereby scanning beams are directed upwardly to a 3-mirror assembly (60) which directs the scanning beams downwardly through an aperture (66) in the housing (24) to provide a scan pattern for scanning a coded label positioned below the scanning housing (24). A collection lens (70) mounted in the housing (24) collects and directs the reflected light from the coded label to a detector (72) which generates electrical signals for transmission over a cable (32) to a processor.</p> |
