Abstract:
A latent fingerprint lifting and recordation device of the type which provides a permanent and official fingerprint document, said device comprising:a flexible transparent latent fingerprint lifting sheet having one adhesive surface thereof; an opaque semi-flexible sheet substantially similar in size and shape to that of, and adhered in generally coextensive fashion on one surface thereof, to said fingerprint lifting sheet; a releasable protective cover and a perimeter frame of said opaque sheet defined by a substantially continuous cut formed through, and adjacent side margins of, said opaque sheet but not through said lifting sheet; whereby, when said fingerprint lifting sheet with said perimeter frame adhesively attached thereto are separated from said cover, an imaged latent fingerprint may be lifted and recorded on said adhesive surface, the latent fingerprint thereafter protectively sandwiched for viewing through said fingerprint lifting sheet when said cover is adhesively reattached to said adhesive surface to form a permanent fingerprint document; said perimeter frame including scale measurement indicia printed thereon positioned adjacent to the latent fingerprint on said fingerprint lifting sheet.
