Abstract:
1. An apparatus for deflecting and for widening a visual range of a camera, the apparatus comprising: a first mirror element which is tilted with respect to an optical axis of the camera in a longitudinal direction in order to guide light to the camera from a first visible range lying laterally with respect to the optical axis, and additionally tilted in a transverse direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction; and a second mirror element disposed adjacent to the first mirror element, the second mirror element being tilted in the longitudinal direction in order to guide light to the camera from a second visible range lying laterally with respect to the optical axis, and additionally tilted in the transverse direction with respect to the first mirror element, wherein an overlap region is formed on the first visible range and the second visible range, and wherein the overlap region entirely covers a code to be read.
