[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a reading stand that facilitates reading of media by a hand scanner.

[Prior art and problems]

FIG. 4 is a side sectional view showing the internal structure of the hand scanner.

Barcode reader, OCR (optical character reader)
As shown in FIG. 4, the hand scanner 1 used in the
irradiates the medium 3, and the reflected light is sent to the lens 15.
The image sensor 14 receives the light through the medium 3 and reads information on the medium 3.

The information is read by holding the hand scanner 1 and sliding its reading surface 1a over the medium, but it is necessary to move the hand scanner 1 so that the reading surface 1a faces the medium 3 correctly.
The operation of the hand scanner 1 requires considerable skill.

[Purpose of invention]

An object of the present invention is to provide a reading platform that does not require any skill to be read using a hand scanner.

[Structure of the idea]

In order to achieve the above object, the reading platform of the present invention includes a holding means for supporting a hand scanner, and a plurality of guide plates each having a guide surface that slides against the end surface of the medium and positions a predetermined area of the medium at the reading position of the hand scanner. a plurality of substrates that individually sandwich the guide plates to form guide grooves of a plurality of depths; a positioning means for sliding the guide plates to position the guide surface at a desired position in the guide groove; and an inner surface of the guide groove. A non-reflective film is provided in the through hole of the substrate through which the irradiation light from the hand scanner passes, and the information in a predetermined area of the medium is read by moving the medium along the guide surface.

[Example of idea]

Embodiments will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3. FIG. 1 is an external view of the reading device, FIG. 2 is a left side view of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing the configuration of the reading stand.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, this reading stand 2 includes a holding fitting 4 that supports a handle portion 20 of a hand scanner 1, bases 5 and 6 that form a guide portion,
7 and guide plates 11 and 12.

The holding fitting 4 is attached to the base 5, and the base 5,
6, 7 and the guide plate are overlapped and fixed by a set screw 10, and the end surfaces 11a of the guide plates 11, 12
Guide grooves 8 and 9 are formed by 12a and the upper and lower surfaces of the substrates 5-7.

The board 5 has a hole 5 in which the reading surface 1a fits when the hand scanner 1 is supported by the holding bracket 4.
As shown in FIG. 3, the guide plates 11 and 12 are provided with elongated holes 11b and
b are provided, and the guide plates 11 and 12 can be slid with respect to the substrates 5 to 7 by the elongated holes 11b and 12b.

An operating method for reading information recorded on the medium 3 using the reading table 2 configured as described above will be described below.

First, as shown in FIG. 1, guide plates 11 and 12 are fixed with setscrews 10 in alignment with the position of information recorded on medium 3 to be read. For example, assume that information on the medium 3 is recorded over two lines at distances A and B from the top end (reference end surface) of the medium. In this case, the operator loosens the setscrew 10 and slides the guide plates 11 and 12 as shown in FIG.
The distances between a and 12a and the center position of the reading surface 1a of the hand scanner 1 are adjusted to be A and B, respectively. When the position adjustment of the guide plates 11 and 12 is completed, the set screw 10 is tightened to complete the setting of the reading table 2.

When the reading table 2 is completely set, the operator moves the medium 3 along the guide grooves 8 and 9 in the direction of arrow C, as shown in FIG. That is, the operator slides the medium 3 so that the upper end of the medium 3 comes into contact with the end surfaces 11a and 12a of the guide plates of the respective guide grooves 8 and 9. As a result, the information recording area on the medium 3 passes directly under the reading platform 1a of the hand scanner 1, allowing the hand scanner 1 to accurately read information.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a hand scanner 1 is also installed on the board 6 in order to read information when the medium 3 slides along the lower guide groove 9.
A through hole 6a through which the scanning signal of the hand scanner 1 passes is provided in an area facing the reading surface 1a.

Further, as shown in FIG. 1, each of the substrates 5 to 7 is formed with a cutout portion having a step, thereby forming a medium insertion opening into each of the guide grooves 8 and 9.

In the figure, 6b is a taper to facilitate insertion of the medium.

As shown in FIG. 4, the hand scanner 1 irradiates the medium 3 using a built-in lamp 16, and the amount of light from the lamp 16 increases or decreases in proportion to the amount of reflected light detected by the image sensor 14. ing. That is, when the medium is located on the reading surface 1a and the amount of reflected light increases, the amount of light from the lamp 16 also increases.

Therefore, when reading information on the medium 3 using the reading platform 2, in addition to the fact that the medium 3 passes through the reading surface 1a and the amount of light from the lamp 16 increases, each of the reading platform 2 The light reflected from the substrates 5 to 7 and the guides 11 and 12 enters the hand scanner 1 and increases the light intensity of the lamp 16.
6's lifespan may be shortened.

In order to prevent this reflected light, a non-reflective film 17 is formed on the guide portion.

That is, as shown in the side view of the reading table in FIG.
A hole 5a into which the reading surface 1a of the hand scanner 1 is inserted, a guide groove 8 formed by the substrates 5 and 6 with the guide plate 11 in between, a guide groove 9 formed by the substrates 6 and 7 with the guide plate 12 in between, and A black, matte, non-reflective film 17 is formed in the through hole 6a of the substrate 6, as shown by the two-dot chain line.

Methods for forming the non-reflective film 17 include a method of baking a matte black paint, a method of applying black plating, and the like.

Another implementation method is to manufacture the reading stand 2 itself using a synthetic resin material that has been subjected to a black anti-reflection treatment.

[Effect of idea]

As explained above, the present invention provides a reading stand that supports a hand scanner and slides the medium along a guide, and the medium can be correctly opposed to the reading surface of the hand scanner, resulting in accurate reading and skillful operation. It has an effect that does not require
