1. A system for mounting a handheld barcode scanner, the system including:
- a cradle for releasably mounting the handheld scanner such that the handheld scanner provides a first scanning beam in a predetermined first scanning path; and
an optical assembly mountable to a bi-optic scanner for receiving the first scanning beam and in response providing a second scanning beam in a second scanning path to supplement a third scanning beam provided by the bi-optic scanner independently of the handheld scanner.

Abstract
There is provided a system 1 for mounting a handheld barcode scanner 2. System 1 includes a cradle 3 for releasably mounting scanner 2 such that scanner 2 provides a first scanning beam 4 in a predetermined first scanning path 5. System 1 also includes an optical assembly 6 mountable to a bi-optic scanner 7. Assembly 6 is provided in path 5 for receiving beam 4. In response to receiving beam 4, assembly 6 provides a second scanning beam 9 in a second scanning path 10. Beam 9 supplements a third scanning beam, in the form of array 11, provided by bi-optic scanner 7.

19. A mount for a handheld scanner, the mount including:
a cradle for releasably mounting the handheld scanner such that the handheld scanner provides a first scanning beam to an optical assembly mounted to a bi-optic scanner, the assembly being responsive to the first beam for providing a second scanning beam in a second scanning path to supplement a third scanning beam provided by the bi-optic scanner independently of the handheld scanner.

20. An optical assembly mountable to a bi-optic scanner, the assembly including:
-
an input for receiving a first scanning beam from a handheld scanner; an optical module optically associated with the input and responsive to the first scanning beam for providing a second scanning beam; and an output optically associated with the module for providing the second scanning beam in a second scanning path such that the second scanning beam supplements a third scanning beam provided by the bi-optic scanner independently of the handheld scanner.

21. A bi-optic scanner for providing a bi-optic scanning beam outwardly through at least one window, the scanner including:
-
a cradle for releasably retaining a handheld scanner that provides a handheld scanning beam independently of the bi-optic scanner, wherein the handheld scanning beam supplements the bi-optic scanning beam; and an optical assembly for receiving the first scanning beam and in response providing a further scanning beam outwardly through one of the windows. - View Dependent Claims (22)
