  • Patent number: 5132524
    Abstract: An multi directional laser scanner apparatus has a frame along with a plurality of lasers removably mounted in circular fashion to the frame for producing a plurality of light beams. A multi-faceted rotating mirror assembly is rotatably mounted to the frame and rotated by an electric motor and is aligned with a plurality of laser output beams. A plurality of fixed mirrors are attached in pairs to the frame and positioned for reflecting the light energy of the laser beam being reflected by the rotatable mirror assembly in a pattern onto a coded surface and positioned for receiving reflected beams from the coded surface and than directing the reflected beams in a reverse path onto the rotating mirror assembly and back towards each laser. A mirror mounted adjacent the output of each laser reflects each returning laser beam onto a photocell mounted to the frame for receiving the reflected signals from the coded surface and the signals are processed to read the coded signals.
