ABSTRACT:
A portable, stand-alone compact optical scanning apparatus includes a housing member in which is mounted a printed circuit board, a semicircular mirror member mounted on the printed circuit board having a cone shaped edge portion, a light emitting element mounted on the mirror member for projecting scanning light beams within the housing member, a multifaceted rotating spinner mounted on said printed circuit board extending through said mirror member for directing the light beams at a plurality of pattern forming mirror members which reflect the light beams at the edge portion of the mirror member which in turn reflects the light beams through an aperture in the cover portion of the housing member, the scan pattern scanning a bar code label on a merchandise item positioned on top of the housing adjacent the aperture. A collection system is mounted on the mirror member for generating electrical signals in response to detecting the reflected light beams from the scanned bar code label.
