Data capture device
A data capture device includes: a primary housing supporting a data capture assembly and having inner and outer surfaces joined by a perimeter wall; and a mounting accessory coupled to the inner surface. The mounting accessory mounts the device on an operator index finger in either of: a side-mounted mode in which the primary housing is between the index finger and a thumb; and a top-mounted mode, in which the primary housing is on a back of the index finger. The device includes an accessory trigger on the mounting accessory and a primary trigger supported on the outer surface. In the top-mounted mode, the accessory trigger is between the index finger and the thumb, for activation by the thumb. In the side-mounted mode, the primary trigger is disposed on the side of the index finger for activation by the thumb of the operator.
1. A data capture device, comprising:
a primary housing supporting a data capture assembly and having inner and outer surfaces joined by a perimeter wall;
a mounting accessory coupled to the inner surface of the primary housing, the mounting accessory configured to mount the data capture device on an index finger of an operator in a top-mounted operational mode, wherein the primary housing is disposed on a back of the index finger;
an accessory trigger supported on the mounting accessory such that in the top-mounted operational mode, the accessory trigger is disposed between the index finger and a thumb of the operator, for activation by the thumb of the operator;
wherein the mounting accessory includes a latch, disposed at an end of the mounting accessory and having a pair of latching members separated by an opening, the latch configured to couple the mounting accessory to a first hook disposed on the inner surface of the primary housing.
2. The data capture device of claim 1 , wherein the primary trigger includes an inductive sensor.
3. The data capture device of claim 1 , wherein the inner surface includes a second hook, the first hook and the second hook each configured to engage the latch in a first orientation or a second orientation.
4. The data capture device of claim 1 , wherein the mounting surface includes a first electrical interface, and wherein the inner surface of the primary housing includes a second electrical interface configured to engage with the first electrical interface.
