6. A finger fixing apparatus comprising:
-
a base having a fingerprint read window; a scanner unit arranged below said fingerprint read window; a finger press member extending above said fingerprint read window in a direction perpendicular to a finger inserting direction while ensuring a predetermined space, said finger press member being positioned to correspond to said fingerprint read window; a pair of through holes formed in said base at two side portions of said fingerprint read window; a string-like tightening member extending through said finger press member and having first and second end portions that are respectively led below said base through said through holes; and drive means for leading at least one of said first and second end portions of said tightening member to below said base, when a finger is inserted in the space of said finger press member, thereby tightening the finger through said finger press member and positioning the finger on said fingerprint read window. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12)
