STAND TO HOLD AND CHARGE A MOBILE MACHINE-READABLE SYMBOL READER

摘要

Systems and methods for securing and charging a machine-readable symbol reader in a position that enables the machine-readable symbol reader to continue to capture machine readable codes. The machine-readable symbol reader is secured by a stand that includes a base, an arm, and a cradle. The cradle includes a housing that forms a cavity that is sized and shaped to securely receive a portion of the head of the machine-readable symbol reader. The cavity may further align the window on the secured machine-readable symbol reader with an aperture such that the machine-readable symbol reader can continue to capture visual representations of machine-readable symbols. The housing may include a primary inductive charging interface that aligns and inductively couples with a complementary secondary inductive charging interface located within the machine-readable symbol reader to provide power to the machine-readable symbol reader while the machine-readable symbol reader captures visual representations of machine-readable symbols.
