  • Patent number: 9224551
    Abstract: A trigger mechanism includes soft stops and an associated method activates a switch in a device or apparatus. The trigger mechanism includes a trigger receptacle, a trigger disposed in the trigger receptacle and movable between an un-actuated and an actuated position by a user depressing the trigger, and a soft stop comprised of at least one projection positioned to engage a resilient elastomeric insert. Moving the trigger from the un-actuated to actuated position compresses the elastomeric insert with the projection and activates the switch to provide a tactile sensation of the switch activation to the user. The switch may be an electric switch disposed in a hand held device, such as a barcode scanner in some embodiments.

  • Patent number: 7527515
    Abstract: An electronic handheld device with remote cable release mechanism, a handle portion and method for performing the same. The device includes a housing defining an internal cavity and has an elastically deformable flexible portion. An electrical connector block is disposed in the cavity and includes a female receptacle configured for receiving a male electrical cable connector having a movable locking clip configured to releasably engage the connector block. An actuating protrusion is preferably disposed on the flexible portion of the housing for releasing the cable connector. The protrusion is movable towards the connector block in response to the application of an inward pressing force on the flexible portion. The protrusion operates to depress the locking clip on the cable connector, thereby releasing the cable connector. In another embodiment, a resealable dimple may be provided in the flexible portion which can be punctured via a probe to access the locking clip.
