Abstract
A shock-resistant support structure for use in a laser scanning head in a laser scanning system for reading bar code symbols readily removably supportably mounts and readily positions a laser tube component for generating a laser light beam, an optical component for optically modifying and directing the laser light beam along a light path, and a scanning component for scanning the laser light beam over a field of view across a bar code symbol, on the support structure, preferably including a pair of support elements which are readily detachably connected, preferably by snap-type action, to each other to facilitate the assembly and the disassembly of the components.
