Patent number: 11861449Abstract: Single slot cradles with interchangeable tops are disclosed herein. An example cradle includes a base assembly including a coupling mechanism, a top housing assembly operably coupled with the coupling mechanism, a circuit board assembly, and a first cup assembly. The top housing assembly includes a housing opening. The circuit board assembly is at least partially disposed within the housing opening and includes a board communication interface and at least one of a power interface or a data connection interface. The first cup assembly removably couples with at least one of the base assembly or the top housing assembly and includes at least one dock to operably couple with a handheld scanning device and further includes a cup communication interface. The board communication interface communicatively couples with the cup communication interface to allow transmission between at least one of the power interface or the data interface and the handheld scanning device.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2021Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: Zebra Technologies CorporationInventors: Steven D. Sieckowski, Jaxon Paul, Roland Wing Fai Lee, Eric M. Malmed

Publication number: 20230385577Abstract: Scanning assemblies are disclosed herein. An example scanning assembly includes a slot scanner and a mounting system. The slot scanner includes an imaging assembly configured to capture an image frame appearing in a field of view (FOV) and a housing having a cavity configured to accommodate the imaging assembly. The mounting system includes a flange member at least partially surrounding an opening formed within the mounting system, and at least two support arms extending from the flange. The at least two support arms engage a portion of the housing of the slot scanner to retain the slot scanner within the opening formed by the flange.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 26, 2022Publication date: November 30, 2023Inventors: Joseph D. Giordano, Steven D. Sieckowski, Darran Michael Handshaw

Patent number: 11562163Abstract: Barcode readers and barcode reader assemblies with lift handles are disclosed herein. An example bioptic barcode reader assembly includes a barcode reader having a housing and a metal frame secured to the housing. A retractable first lift handle having an elongated first aperture is positioned on a first side of the housing and a retractable second lift handle having an elongated second aperture is positioned on a second side of the housing, opposite the first side. Each of the first and second lift handles is movable relative to the housing between a retracted position and an extended position and the first and second apertures in the first and second lift handles overlie a first center of gravity of the barcode reader and a second center of gravity of the barcode reader assembly.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2021Date of Patent: January 24, 2023Assignee: Zebra Technologies CorporationInventors: Steven D. Sieckowski, Benjamin H. Stibal, Darran Michael Handshaw

Patent number: 11308292Abstract: Scanning device assemblies including scanning devices and associated bases. An example scanning device assembly includes a scanning device including a housing, an optical imaging assembly disposed in the housing, and a base. The optical imaging assembly having an imaging field of view (FOV). The optical imaging assembly configured to capture one or more images of an environment appearing within the FOV. The base includes a base coupling portion to mate with a housing portion of the scanning device for supporting the scanning device during operation. The scanning device assembly includes a magnetic-rotational coupling formed between the scanning device and the base and allowing the scanning device to rotate relative to the base, while the base maintains support of the scanning device.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2019Date of Patent: April 19, 2022Assignee: Zebra Technologies CorporationInventors: Darran Michael Handshaw, Steven D.

Patent number: 11288473Abstract: A barcode scanner assembly for capturing at least one object appearing in a field of view (FOV) is provided that includes a base defining a curved base surface and a scanner enclosure being mechanically coupled to the base. The scanner enclosure includes a top portion and a bottom portion opposite the top portion. The bottom portion of the scanner enclosure is positioned proximate to the base. The bottom portion of the scanner enclosure includes a curved scanner enclosure surface. The curved base surface and the curved scanner enclosure surface are nested such that a clearance of less than approximately 5 mm is formed between the curved base surface and the curved scanner enclosure surface.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2020Date of Patent: March 29, 2022Assignee: Zebra Technologies CorporationInventors: Darran Michael Handshaw, Steven D.
