Patent ID: 7077324

Claim:
A multi-line barcode scanner with no moving parts comprising: a) a light source emitting a light scanning beam; b) at least one reflector including a first reflector; c) at least one beam splitter including a first beam splitter located along a light path of the light scanning beam and splitting the light scanning beam into at least two light scanning beams including a first light scanning beam projected directly on a barcode and a second light scanning beam projected on the first reflector, the first reflector directly projects the second light scanning beam on the barcode, the first beam splitter and the first reflector each directly project one of three non-overlapping light scanning beams on the bar code; d) a linear light receiver; and e) a light condensing lens located between the linear light receiver and the barcode, and receiving images from the at least one beam splitter and the at least one reflector, and focusing the images on the linear light receiver such that the linear light receiver produce barcode signals, wherein each of the at least one reflector and each of the at least one beam splitter being located in a fixed position, wherein a third of the three non-overlapping light scanning beams is directly projected on the barcode by a device selected from a group consisting of a second beam splitter and a second reflector.
