Battery support for a scanning device
First Claim
1. A battery support comprising:
- a separator plate having;
a top surface and a bottom surface configured to separate an interior of a head portion of a casing of a scanning device from an interior of an elongate handle portion of the casing when installed within the casing at a location where a first end of the handle portion connects to the head portion; and
multiple elongate battery guides that extend from the bottom surface of the separator plate and into the interior of the handle portion when the separator plate is installed within the casing, wherein;
the multiple elongate battery guides are configured to receive and engage a removable battery as the removable battery is inserted into a second end of the handle portion opposite the first end to guide a mating connector carried by the removable battery towards a battery connector carried by the scanning device; and
the multiple battery guides continue to engage the removable battery while the battery connector engages the mating connector, the multiple battery guides configured to prevent exertions of physical stress on the battery connector through the mating connector by the removable battery; and
multiple mounting supports carried by the separator plate to engage mounting portions of the interior of the head portion of the casing to install the separator plate within the casing including insertion of the multiple elongate battery guides into the interior or the handle portion.

Abstract
A battery support for a scanning device includes a separator plate and multiple elongate battery guides. The separator plate includes multiple mounting supports to engage mounting portions of the interior of the head portion to install the separator plate within the casing. The multiple elongate battery guides extend from the handle-side surface of the separator plate into the interior of the handle portion when the separator plate is installed within the casing. The multiple elongate battery guides engage a removable battery as the battery is inserted into a second end of the handle portion opposite a first end to guide a battery mating connector towards a scanner battery connector. The multiple battery guides continue to engage the removable battery while the battery connector engages the mating connector. The multiple battery guides are configured to prevent exertions of physical stress on the battery connector through the mating connector by the battery.

13. A scanning device comprising:
-
a casing comprising a head portion and a handle portion, wherein an interior of the handle portion is configured to releasably retain a removable battery to provide electric power to the scanning device; an indicia scanning engine carried within an interior of the head portion to scan an indicia carried on a surface of a label; and a battery support formed as a separate structure from the casing, the battery support comprising; a separator plate having, a top surface and a bottom surface and configured to separate the interior of a head portion from an interior of the handle portion when installed within the casing at a location where a first end of the handle portion connects to the head portion; and multiple elongate battery guides that extend from the bottom surface of the separator plate and into the interior of the handle portion when the separated plate is installed within the casing, wherein; the multiple elongate battery guides engage a removable battery as the removable battery is inserted into a second end of the handle portion opposite the first end to guide a mating connector of the removable battery towards engagement with a battery connector of the scanning device within the interior of the handle portion; and the multiple battery guides continue to engage the removable battery while the battery connector engages the mating connector, the multiple battery guides configured to prevent exertions of physical stress on the battery connector through the mating connector by the removable battery. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
