Abstract
A stabilizer facilitates mounting an image sensor at an imaging device. The stabilizer removably holds the image sensor. The stabilizer is removably mounted to the imaging device. In certain examples, the image sensor is snap-fit to the stabilizer and the stabilizer is snap-fit to the imaging device. Certain imaging devices define a thermal regulation channel.
Claims18
An imaging device comprising:
- an under-shelf mountable housing including an imaging portion extending outwardly from a mounting portion, the imaging portion defining a mounting station, and wherein the imaging portion of the under-shelf mountable housing includes a faceplate defining an exterior surface of the under-shelf mountable housing, the faceplate defining an opening through the exterior surface for an image sensor;
- and wherein the faceplate defines a thermal regulation channel including a groove extending along the exterior surface between the opening and a perimeter of the faceplate;
- a stabilizer removably disposed at the mounting station;
- and
- the image sensor mounted to the stabilizer to be moved with the stabilizer as a unit.
2 more elements
A stabilization arrangement for stabilizing an imaging sensor comprising:
- a base defining a mounting station;
- an imaging sensor including a lens carried by an imaging sensor base;
- and
- a stabilizer including one or more outwardly-deflectable latches and one or more inwardly-deflectable latches, the outwardly-deflectable latches being configured to engage catch surfaces defined at the mounting station of the base to removably secure the stabilizer to the base, the inwardly-deflectable latches being configured to engage the imaging sensor base to hold the imaging sensor at the stabilizer.
