Abstract
Abstract An optics frame for use in optical character reading devices has a reflector and lens tube assembly packaged to permit the integration of the optics system and the electronic components so that they become one unit. The reflector and lens tube assembly is mounted on a frame which is in turn secured to a circuit board and connected therewith utilizing a flex circuit.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
74 words
An optics frame assembly for an electronic scanning device comprising a frame, a lens tube assembly and reflector, said lens tube assembly telescoping into a tubular part of the frame at one end thereof and the reflector mounting on the opposite end of the frame and having apertures thereon through which scanning is accomplished, said lens tube assembly having a flange on one end thereof to which said electronics scanning device may be mounted.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
74 words
An optics frame assembly for an electronic scanning device comprising a frame, a lens tube assembly and reflector, said lens tube assembly telescoping into a tubular part of the frame at one end thereof and the reflector mounting on the opposite end of the frame and having apertures thereon through which scanning is accomplished, said lens tube assembly having a flange on one end thereof to which said electronics scanning device may be mounted.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
38 words
The optics frame assembly according to claim 1 wherein said lens tube assembly and tubular postion of the frame are movable with respect to each other to permit adjustment of the focusing and/or magnification ratio of the assembly.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
37 words
The optics frame assembly according to claim 1 wherein said reflector is partially enclosed having a small aperture at one end and a larger aperature at the opposite end, said larger aperture end mounting onto said frame.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
56 words
An optics frame assembly comprising a frame having a tubular portion at one end and flanged mounting surface at the end opposite said one end, an enclosed reflector mounted on said flanged end, a lens and tube assembly with the lens slidably adjustable within said tube, said tube mounted in the tubular portion of said frame.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
56 words
An optics frame assembly comprising a frame having a tubular portion at one end and flanged mounting surface at the end opposite said one end, an enclosed reflector mounted on said flanged end, a lens and tube assembly with the lens slidably adjustable within said tube, said tube mounted in the tubular portion of said frame.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
25 words
The frame according to claim 4 wherein said reflector has apertures at two ends thereof through which light or optical data impenges upon said lens.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
32 words
The frame assembly according to claim 4 in combination with an electronic array, said array mounted one end of said tube assembly to receive light or optical data transmitted through said lens.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
28 words
The frame assembly according to claim 6, wherein said array interconnects with a circuit board on which the frame assembly is mounted by means of a flex circuit.
