Claims15
A terminal comprising:
- a hand held housing having a top and a bottom, a proximal end and a distal end;
- an encoded information reading device disposed in the housing, the encoded information reading device selected from the group consisting of an indicia reading device an RFID reading device and a card reading device;
- a pocket;
- a mount, for supporting a mechanical component, slidably received in the pocket, the mechanical component being selected from the group consisting of a hand strap assembly and a handle;
- wherein the mechanical component is a hand strap assembly having a hand strap and wherein the terminal is adapted so that the hand strap, when in a connected state, biases the mount toward a closed position and wherein the mount comprises a keyhole onto which a clip of the hand strap is received, the keyhole including a relatively wider width opening and a relatively narrower width slot, the terminal being adapted so that the hand strap, when in a connected state, biases the clip into a secured position on the mount;
- and
- wherein the terminal is adapted so that the hand strap, when in a connected state, biases the clip into a position within the narrower width slot.
