DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[00171 The invention will now be described with reference to Figures 1-18, where various embodiments of a conformable scanner hand mount 10 are disclosed. As will be described in further detail hereinbelow, the disclosure relates to a wearable mount 10 for mobile laser barcode scanner 12 that does not interfere with the user's hand and/or finger motion and allows the user to grasp and manipulate items, e.g. carrying boxes, using a cell phone, sorting items, driving a forklift.

100181 The mobile laser barcode scanner 12 is generally known in the art and will not be described in detail. For purposes of the disclosure, the exemplary embodiment is described as a mobile laser barcode scanner. However, the scope of the disclosure should not be limited to only such a scanner. In the context of the disclosure, the outer housing 13 of the scanner 12 is configured and arranged for an interfitting relationship with the hand mount 10. This relationship will be discussed further hereinbelow.

[0019] In the embodiments shown in Figures 1-7, the conformable hand mount 10 includes an elongated body 14 having a cradle area for removably receiving the mobile scanner 12. In the exemplary embodiment, the cradle area is formed as a channel 16 for slidably receiving the mobile scanner 12. As best seen in Figure 2, the scanner housing 13 is provided with a groove 18 extending around a peripheral edge, which, when assembled with the mount 10, engages a complementary ridge 20 formed within the channel 16. Other interfitting engagements between the scanner housing 13 and the body 14 are also contemplated and the disclosure should not be limited to any particular arrangement.

[0020] The mount 10 further includes a hook 22 which protrudes from a scanning end of the body 14, extending away from the channel 16 and curving away from the scanning end towards an opposite securing end. In use, the hook portion 22 extends over and around the web of flesh extending between the thumb 24 and index finger 26 of the wearer (See e.g. Figures 6 and 7). In order to provide a custom fitting around a variety of hand shapes and sizes, a terminal end portion 28 of the hook 22 is made to be conformable.

[0021] The hand mount 10 further includes a conformable wrist wrap extending from the securing end of the body 14. In the exemplary embodiment, the wrist wrap includes opposing conformable wrist straps 30 extending outwardly from opposing sides of the securing end of the body 14.

[0022] In the embodiments shown in Figures 6 and 7, when in use, the mount body 14 is positioned on a back area of a wearer's hand whereby the hook 22 is conformably received over and around the web extending between a thumb 24 and index finger 26 of the wearer's hand. Once the mount 10 is "hooked" in place, the opposing wrist straps 30 are conformably wrapped around the wrist 32 of the wearer's hand to hold the mount 10 in place. When worn, the mount 10 provides minimal interfere with the user's hand and finger motion, allowing the user to grasp and manipulate items, while the scanner 12 remains easy to use by simply pointing the hand.

[0023] In an embodiment where electronic components are absent from the mount 10, triggering of a scan is accomplished by the use of a capacitive housing 13 on the mobile scanner 12. The user simply touches the scanner housing 13, or a selected portion of the housing 13 to trigger a scan. Motion detection, such as twisting of the wrist, or a pause in movement, are also possible triggers, as well as proximity sensing.

[0024] In the embodiments shown in Figures 8-10, the hand mount 10 includes an underlying frame 34 which forms the body 14 of the mount 10. The conformable terminal end 28 of the hook 22 and conformable wrist straps 30 included internally positioned, bendable wire elements 36 that extend from the frame 34. In an embodiment, the wire elements 36 are made of metal or any flexible material that can be repeatedly bent into desired positions and confirmations. As shown in the embodiment of Figure 10, the frame 34 and wire elements 36 are overmolded with an elastomeric material 38 to form a cushioned outer layer. Those of ordinary skill in the art would appreciate that the elastomeric material 38 can range from more rigid plastics to softer silicone materials, depending on user or application specific needs. In an embodiment, when the elastomeric material 38 is a rigid plastic, the overmolded material can be segmented to provide for easier articulation (segmenting not shown).

[0025] Those of ordinary skill in the art would also appreciate that the hand mount 10 is not limited to the conformable wrist straps 30. For example, in an embodiment shown in Figure 11, the mounting end of the hand mount 10A has an elastomeric bungee cord 40 having a cinch 42. In an embodiment shown in Figure 12, the hand mount 10B includes opposing conformable straps 30 formed from snap bands 44, which having underlying metal strips that snap into a predetermined shape. In an embodiment shown in Figure 13, the hand mount 10C includes a wrist wrap having a single continuous loop structure 46. In an embodiment, the single continuous loop structure 46 is made of an elastomeric material that can be expanded outward to allow a user's hand to be inserted through the single continuous loop structure 46. [0026] In the embodiments shown in Figures 14 and 15, the hand mount 10D has a wrist wrap with a single conformable strap 48 which extends through a strap receiving passageway 50 extending transversely through the securing end of the body 14. This arrangement permits the conformable strap 48 to be threaded from side to side (see arrow 52), and, in some situations, can better accommodate user preferred positions and/or left or right handed mounting.

[0027] In the embodiments shown in Figures 16-18, the hand mount 10E includes the mobile scanner 12 having a display screen 54 which ideally located for easy viewing by the user. The screen 54 can be utilized to provide warnings to the user regarding heavy packages, fragile contents, etc, or other critical information about the particular item being scanned.

[0028] In an embodiment, the hand mount 10E includes a capacitive trigger pad 56 molded into the hook 22 (See Figures 17 and 18). The mobile scanner 12 and the hand mount 10E include corresponding contacts 58 (Figure 18), which electrically connect the trigger pad 56 to the mobile scanner 12.

[00291 In an embodiment, the contacts 58 are positioned on the bottom of the rear portion of the scanner housing 13 and on a bottom wall of the channel 16 (See Figure 2) in the mount 10E. When the mobile scanner 12 is installed into the hand mount 10E, the contacts 58 on the mobile scanner 12 engage the corresponding contacts 58 on the hand mount 10E, and the capacitive trigger 56 is actuated by a movement of the thumb to touch the trigger pad 56. In other embodiments, the trigger 56 can be a physical electronic contact switch or a pressure sensor, or other triggers known to those of ordinary skill in the art. Additionally, the location of the switch 56 is not limited to the illustrated embodiment. The switch 56 may be located anywhere on the mount 10E that is deemed to be ergonomically useful and advantageous.
