Patent ID: 7899219

Claim:
A biometric locking system for a mechanical interlock, comprising: a biometric validation module for receiving a biometric profile and asserting a control signal responsive to a biometric evaluation of said biometric profile; an outer housing coupled to a lockable enclosure, said lockable enclosure secured using the mechanical interlock; an inner housing, telescopingly coupled to said outer housing, for operating in both an operational mode and a storage mode, said operational mode having said inner housing telescoped out from said outer housing and said storage mode having said inner housing telescoped into said outer cylindrical housing wherein said operational mode reveals a biometric scanner coupled to said biometric validation module for creation of said biometric profile by a user and wherein said storage mode covers said biometric scanner; and a mechanical interface, coupled to said biometric validation module and coupled to the mechanical interlock and responsive to said control signal, for controlling a physical locking mode of the mechanical interlock to selectively physically secure and physically unsecure said lockable enclosure.
