ABSTRACT:
A wall-mounted, hands-free scanner capable of having its field of view adjusted using a pivot structure with a position-holding mechanism. The spacing of the field of view from the wall can be quickly adjusted to accommodate different size objects and different placement of indicia on objects. The scanner includes a base member configured to be installed on a vertical surface, a scanning unit including a light scanning source directing a light beam across a field of view toward an indicia located within the field of view, a pivot structure connecting the scanning unit to the base member (the pivot structure having a generally horizontal axis of rotation about which the scanning unit rotates relative to the base member), and a position-holding mechanism within the pivot structure. The scanning unit may be rotated relative to the base member to adjust the spacing of the field of view from the vertical surface, and the position-holding mechanism within the pivot structure maintains the scanning unit at a selected angular position. No tightening or other position-holding step is required following adjustment of angular position.
