Definitions
- a fingerprinting apparatus for developing latent fingerprints impressed on the surface of a medium, such as a check.
- the apparatus comprises a casing having an enclosed cavity formed therein for containing a supply of magnetizable powder.
- a slot is formed in the upper portion of the casing defining an opening over the cavity.
- a spring biased cover is mounted over the opening to enclose the cavity and prevent the powder from spilling out during non-use.
- a folded holder is adapted to receive the medium within the fold.
- the bottom fold of the holder has an open window formed thereon for displaying the latent fingerprint on the medium.
- the holder is adapted to be inserted within the slot and under the cover, and is positioned to expose the window directly over the opening of the cavity.
- a magnet is rotatably mounted within the cavity and includes at least one pole which is adapted to physically contact the powder for attracting a quantity of powder thereon. The pole of the magnet is then rotated upwardly to pass over the opening of the cavity to brush a portion of the powder onto the surface of the medium. A portion of the powder deposited on the magnet adheres to the oils defining the latent fingerprint, but not to portions of the surface devoid of such oils, to produce a visible image of the fingerprint.
- the magnet is rotated by a gear and arcuate rack drive combination.
- the arcuate rack is formed on a lever which is pivotally mounted on the sidewall of the casing.
- a hammer is also pivotally mounted on the sidewall of the casing and is adapted to be cocked and triggered by the lever to strike the holder to shake loose any excess powder deposited on the impressed fingerprint.
- the present invention relates generally to fingerprinting systems and more particularly to fingerprinting systems utilizing magnetizable powder as the developer.
- the magnetizable powder is contained in a cavity formed in a casing.
- Themedium with the latent fingerprint impressed on it is positioned over the cavity with the fingerprint facing the quantity of powder.
- a cover having a movable magnet mounted thereon is placed over the medium on the side opposite the side of the medium having the fingerprint impressed thereon.
- the magnet is lowered to a position adjacent the top side of the medium. This proximity of I the magnet causes the powder to be attracted against the bottom surface of the medium and adhere to the fingerprint impression.
- the magnet and the cover are moved away from the medium and the medium is withdrawn from the-apparatus with the visible image of the fingerprint illustrated thereon.
- the main shortcoming of the apparatus is that the disposition of the medium between the magnet and the powder reduces the attraction force of the magnet. Consequently, the magnet cannot attract a sufficient amount of powder to the medium to produce a clear and distinguishable print.
- a magnet is rotatively mounted within the cavity and is adapted to attract and transport a quantity of I the powder for brushing the powderattracted thereto onto the surface of the medium having the latent fingerprint impressed thereon. A portion of the powder adheres to the oils of the latent fingerprint to produce a visible image of the print.
- a primary advantage of the present invention is that the entire operation is accomplished automatically and cleanly with a minimum of steps. This convenience factor makes the apparatus highly attractive for commercial use.
- Another important advantage of the present invention is that even though the developing operation is fully automatic, the developed fingerprints are still of a very high quality.

- FIG. 8 is a perspective view of a folded holder
- FIG. 9 is an enlarged fragmentary view of the cover assembly with the folder inserted in the apparatus.
- FIG. 1 shows a fingerprinting apparatus generally indicated by arrow 10,
- a cover plate 17 is mounted over the outer casing 11 and is supported on two sides and bonded to an L-shaped member 18 integrally formed on the top of the forward end wall 16 and a side wall 19. The other two peripheral sides of the cover plate 17 are unsupported and cooperate with the upper edges of the side wall 20 and rear end wall 21 to form a slot 22 for receiving a folded holder 23.
- a handle 25 is located at the forward end of the casing and is mounted at both ends onto a pair of levers 27 and 28 respectively.
- the casing 11 is secured to the base by a pair of threaded bolts 29.
- the forward half of the base includes a bowl-like structure 31 having a cavity 33 formed therein.
- the cavity 33 is also formed at its upper half by an opening 35 formed in the casing 11.
- the cavity 33 is adapted to contain a supply of magnetiizable powder 37.
- the powder 37 may be of any conventional magnetizable material such as iron, nickel, or the like.
- the top of the opening 35 and support member 36 is enclosed by a cover 39 which is biased by a spring 41 to keep the cavity 33 enclosed during non-use.
- An arm 43 is rotatably mounted within the cavity 33 with the outer extremity of the arm supporting a pair of magnets 45. As shown in FIG. 3, the magnet arm 43 is mounted on a shaft 47 which is journaled within a pair of bearings 49. The bearings are mounted within a pair of bores formed by the mating inner walls of the casing 11 and base 13. A pair of pinion gears 53 is integrally mounted on the extremity of the shaft 47 which extends through the inner walls into a pair of lever chambers 55. The lever construction is not shown in FIG. 3 for the sake of clarity.
- the levers 27 and 28 are pivotally mounted at the rearward end of the chambers 55 to a pair ofjournal bearings 57 formed on the base 13 by means of a shaft 59.
- the forward extremity of the levers 27 and 28 extend through a pair of vertical slots 15 for supporting the handle 25.
- Each of the levers 27 and 28 are biasly supported by a coil spring 60 in the upward direction.
- Each of the levers 27 and 28 further includes an arcuate gear section 61 which is adapted to engage a corresponding pinion gear 53. It is the arcuate movement of the levers 27 and 28 and their gear sectors 61 that rotatingly drives the pinion gear 53.
- the lever 27 also includes an inwardly extending lug 63 and a trigger 65.
- the lever 27 also includes a cut out portion 67.
- the lug 63 is adapted to engage the arm portion 69 of a hammer 71 during downward movement of the lever 27. (See FIG. 7).
- the arm portion 69 of the hammer 71 is also pivotally supported on the shaft 59.
- a coil spring 73 is mounted on the base 13 and is adapted to biasingly engage the bottom of the arm portion 69 for biasing the arm portion of the arm upwardly.
- the upper extremity of the hammer 71 is adapted to extend through an aperture 75 formed in the upper wall or support member 36 of the casing 11.
- the lower extremity of the hammer also includes a projection 77 which is adapted to engage a shoulder 79 ofa sear 81.
- the sear 81 is pivotally mounted on an inner wall and includes an arcuate sector 83 and a leg section 85.
- the leg section 85 includes the shoulder 79 while the arcuate section is adapted to be engaged by the trigger 65.
- FIGS. 1 and 8 show the holder 23 which is preferably made of a folded sheet of plastic with the lower fold having a window 87 formed therein.
- the holder 23 is adapted to receive and support any medium such as a check in which a latent fingerprint is impressed thereon. A portion of the medium having the fingerprint is adapted to be exposed through the window.
- the top side of the folder 87 also includes an indented area 89, the function of which will be described hereinafter.
- a typical example of the utilization of the fingerprinting apparatus 10 is its use by vendors such as department stores, grocery stores, liquor stores, etc. which would utilize fingerprints as a positive means of identification for check cashing purposes. For example, when cashing a check, after the drawer endorses the check, the salesman would take the check and position it into the holder 23, preferably with the back side of the check facing the window 87. After which, the drawer would impress his fingerprint on the portion of the check exposed through the window 87.
- the holder is then taken and inserted within the slot 22 formed in the apparatus until the forward end contacts the corner formed by the L-shaped member 18. During this movement, the holder 23 contacts the beveled rim 90 of the cover 39 to lift it upwardly to enable the holder 23 to pass therethrough. As more clearly shown in FIG. 9, the holder 23 is positioned such that the indented area 89 fits snugly in an annular portion 91 formed in the cover 39. In this position, the window 87 of the holder 23 which is located on the lower side thereof is mounted directly over the opening 35 of the cavity 33.
- the handle 25 is then depressed to move the levers 27 and 28 downwardly against the forces of springs 60.
- This downward movement of the levers 27 and 28 causes their arcuate sectors 61 to rotate the pinion gears 53 in the clockwise direction as shown in FIG. 4.
- This gear movement is transmitted to the magnet arm 43 to cause the arm to move in the same clockwise direction as shown in FIG. 2.
- the magnet arm 43 rotates, the extremity thereof containing the magnet 45 passes over the quantity of magnetic powder 37 to attract a portion of the powder 37 to the magnets 45.
- the magnets 45 are further moved to pass across the opening 35 of the cavity 33 to brush the cluster of powder 37 against the surface of the check.
- the movement of the lever arm 27 also controls the operation of the hammer 71 to further ensure against any excess powder deposits on the fingerprint.
- the downward movement of the lever 27 causes the lug 63 to force the hammer arm 69 downw'ardly until the projection 77 engages the shoulder 79 of the sear 81. (See FIG. 7).
- the sear 81 is caused to fall into that engaging position because of the eccentrically mounted weight formed by the arcuate section 83 thereon. This portion of the sear 81 keeps the hammer 71 in a cocked position until the lever 27 is again permitted to be raised.
- the upward movement of the lever 27 enables the lug 63 to move away from the hammer arm 69 a sufficient distance so as not to impede its striking movement.
- the trigger 65 contacts the arcuate sector 63 of the sear 81 to move the sear 81 in a counterclockwise direction as shown in FIG. 4.
- This rotational movement causes the shoulder 79 to move away from the projection 77 of the hammer 71 to unlock or release the hammer 71.
- the released hammer 71 is then forced upwardly by the coil spring 73 in a rapid manner to enable the hammer to extend through the aperture 75 to strike the holder 25. This causes any excess powder remaining on the fingerprint to be jarred loose to fall back into the cavity 33.
- the holder 23 is removed from the apparatus 10 and the check is removed from the holder with the visible fingerprint clearly formed thereon.
- the entire developing operation of the apparatus 10 is done automatically without the operator touching the magnets or the magnetic powder. All that is required is placing the medium in the holder, inserting the holder within the apparatus, depressing the levers and releasing. The holder is then taken out of the slot and the medium is taken out of the holder with a clear and permanent fingerprint formed thereon. Moreover, the quality of the fingerprint is very high.
- Another advantage of the apparatus is after the card holder 23 is removed from the slot 21, the cover 39 is biased downwardly onto the opening 35 to enclose the cavity 33 to prevent any powder 37 from spilling.
