Device with fingerprint sensor
First Claim
1. A device comprising a fingerprint sensor, wherein the fingerprint sensor is arranged spaced apart from a handle of the device in a vicinity of the handle in such a way that, when the handle is grasped by index finger and/or middle finger and/or ring finger and/or little finger of a hand, a thumb of this hand is able to be placed next to the handle on the fingerprint sensor such that a thumb tip longitudinal axis of the thumb substantially coincides with a principal axis of the fingerprint sensor, and wherein the handle is moveable relative to the fingerprint sensor between a first work position for a right-handed operation of the fingerprint sensor and a second work position for a left-handed operation of the fingerprint sensor, and the fingerprint sensor is mounted in a rotatable or tiltable manner allowing to provide an acute-angled alignment or tilt of the fingerprint sensor in respect of the handle for both the first work position and the second work position.

Abstract
Devices with a fingerprint sensor paired with a handle or a hand support. The fingerprint sensor is arranged in the vicinity of the handle or the hand support surface at a distance from the handle or hand support surface such that when an index, and/or middle, and/or ring, and/or little finger of a hand grips the handle or an index, and/or middle, and/or ring, and/or little finger of a hand is placed on the support surface, the thumb the hand can be placed on the fingerprint sensor such that a longitudinal axis of the thumb substantially coincides with a main axis of the fingerprint sensor. The thumb is placed either next to the handle and thus on the fingerprint sensor or the fingerprint sensor is arranged on a housing side of the device.
