1. A portable scanner system comprising:
- (a) a scanner means for reading coded information and generating scanner data signals;
(b) a portable keyboard means for generating keyboard data signals;
(c) a portable display means connected to said scanner means and said keyboard means for receiving data signals from said scanner means and said keyboard means and displaying data;
(d) an elongate mounting sleeve for insertion on a forearm of an operator, said mounting sleeve including means for securing said scanner means, said keyboard means, and said display means to an outer surface of said mounting sleeve;
(e) a portable radio transceiver for receiving and transmitting data signals, said portable transceiver being connected to said scanner means, said keyboard means and said display means whereby said portable radio transceiver transmits scanner data signals an keyboard data signals received from said scanner means and said keyboard means;
(f) a second radio transceiver in two-way radio communication with said portable radio transceiver; and
(g) a computer system for generating computer data signals, said computer system being connected to said second radio transceiver whereby the radio transceivers communicate computer data signals from said computer system to said portable display means, and communicate keyboard data signals and scanner data signals from said keyboard means and said scanner means to said computer system.

Abstract
A hands free radio frequency terminal is worn on the body of the user. Components comprised of bar code scanner, key pads for communicating with a computer and LCD/LED display are attached to a sleeve device detachably worn on the forearm, and includes a switch for operating the scanner that is worn across the palm of the hand on a stirrup device. A power pack and radio frequency transceiver is worn on the torso of the user and is interconnected by conductors to the components. The RF transceiver has communication with a host computer.
