Scanner apparatus, hand scanner holder, and hand scanner holding method

A hand scanner holder configured to be attached to a side of a housing and hold a hand scanner, the hand scanner holder comprising a base part configured to be attached to the side of the housing, wherein

• the base part comprises a pair of holding pieces opposed to each other with a first interval therebetween, and
• the pair of holding pieces form a holding recess configured to hold a lower part of a grasping part of the hand scanner, which is inserted, from above the pair of the holding pieces, between the pair of holding pieces, in a state in which an upper part of the grasping part protrudes upward, in which a ribbed projection provided respectively in a pair of the holding pieces abuts against the lower part of the grasping part, and in which a part of the holding recess abuts against the lower part of the gripping part of the hand scanner that attempts to rotate around the abutting point.

A hand scanner holding method comprising:

• a step of inserting, from above a holding recess, a lower part of a grasping part of a hand scanner into the holding recess, the holding recess being formed by a pair of holding pieces opposed to each other with a first interval therebetween;
• and
• a step of holding the lower part of the grasping part inserted into the holding recess by the holding recess in a state in which an upper part of the grasping part protrudes upward from the holding recess, in which a ribbed projection provided respectively in a pair of the holding pieces abuts against the lower part of the grasping part, and in which a part of the holding recess abuts against the lower part of the gripping part of the hand scanner that attempts to rotate around the abutting point.
