Abstract:

A hand-held barcode reader apparatus has a hand-held body with an elongated hole for receiving a barcode reader. A ski-member is mounted to the hand-held body to allow the apparatus to slide smoothly over a media aligned along a base member. The base member has upper and lower members and a flappable member with a runway being defined in the upper and flappable members. A flat surface of the runway stably holds the hand-held body in position thus allowing an accurate read of a media held between the flappable member and lower member the base member.
