US 2026/0093942 A1 · Bioptic Indicia Reader Assembly

Abstract

An example bioptic indicia reader assembly includes: a housing having an upper housing portion and a generally upright window positioned in the upper housing portion; and a platter having a proximal edge adjacent the upper housing portion. The upper housing portion comprises a first protrusion located on a first side of a longitudinal centerline of the bioptic indicia reader assembly and a second protrusion located on a second side of the longitudinal centerline. The first protrusion comprises a first camera having a first field-of-view (FOV) having an inner first lateral boundary that extends behind and at an angle to the proximal edge of the platter and the second protrusion comprises a second camera having a second FOV having an inner third lateral boundary that extends behind and at an angle to the proximal edge of the platter.

Dependent claims

A vision reader assembly for use with a bioptic indicia reader assembly, the vision reader assembly comprising:

a first housing configured to be removably secured to a first side of an upper housing portion of the bioptic indicia reader assembly such that the first housing extends forward of a generally upright window of the upper housing portion and towards a distal edge of a platter of the bioptic indicia reader assembly, the first housing comprising a first camera having a first field-of-view (FOV) having an inner first lateral boundary that extends behind and at an angle to a proximal edge of the platter;
and
a second housing configured to be removably secured to a second side, opposite the first side, of the upper housing portion of the bioptic indicia reader assembly such that the second housing extends forward of the generally upright window and towards the distal edge, the second housing comprising a second camera having a second field-of-view (FOV) having an inner third lateral boundary that extends behind and at an angle to the proximal edge of the platter.

A bioptic indicia reader assembly, comprising:

a housing having a lower housing portion, an upper housing portion extending above the lower housing portion, and a generally upright window positioned in the upper housing portion;
and
a platter having a proximal edge adjacent the upper housing portion, a first lateral edge extending non-parallel to the proximal edge, a second lateral edge, opposite the first lateral edge, extending non-parallel to the proximal edge, a distal edge, opposite the proximal edge, extending non-parallel to the first and second lateral edges, a top surface facing a product scanning area, and a generally horizontal window positioned in the platter;
wherein
the upper housing portion comprises:
a first protrusion located on a first side of a longitudinal centerline of the bioptic indicia reader assembly and extending forward of the generally upright window and towards the distal edge of the platter;
and a second protrusion located on a second side of the longitudinal centerline, opposite the first side, and extending forward of the generally upright window and towards the distal edge of the platter;
the first protrusion comprises a first camera having a first field-of-view (FOV), the first FOV extending at least partially over the platter and covering at least 80% of an input area adjacent the bioptic indicia reader assembly;
and
the second protrusion comprises a second camera having a second FOV, the second FOV extending at least partially over the platter.
