  • Publication number: 20100263561
    Abstract: A self-inking hand stamp includes a frame made of metal and having two side walls which are interconnected by an upper cover wall, and an actuating bow made of metal, which in use is downwardly movable relative to the frame against a spring force. The actuating bow has two legs protruding from an upper web, which are displaceable along the side walls of the frame and coupled with a type unit arranged to be upwardly and downwardly displaceable and turnable within the frame. Two parallel guide webs laterally abutting on the respective bow leg, which is rectangular in elevation and narrower as compared to the frame side wall, are latchingly attached to the outer side of each side wall of the frame in the upper region thereof.

  • Patent number: 7677172
    Abstract: An ink pad container for a self-inking stamp that is filled with ink by the top thereof at a pressure. The stamp has a housing and a stamping unit which is connected to an actuating element, movably arranged in the housing and provided with stamping characters. The ink pad container has a bottom and side walls projecting away therefrom. In use, horizontally arranged recesses are provided along a length of two lateral opposite side walls of the ink pad container and cooperate with continuous guiding and centering projections in an insertion compartment of the self-inking stamp to define precise guiding and centering of the ink pad container during its insertion.

  • Publication number: 20090255427
    Abstract: A hand stamp with upper inking and comprising a housing displaceably accommodating an ink pad, an actuating part displaceably guided on the housing and pivotably supporting a character unit, which character unit includes at least one loop-shaped character band with stamp characters and is arranged within the housing and which, upon displacement of the actuating part against a spring force relative to the housing, is pivotable via a turning mechanism from an inking position, in which the character unit abuts on the ink pad, into a printing position. The hand stamp further comprises a stamp plate unit having an ink storage means and including a printing plate, wherein the stamp plate unit with ink storage means is combined with the character unit into a pivoting and displaceable unit, the printing side of the printing plate being arranged adjacent the stamp characters, and said the ink pad having an access opening restricted to the stamp characters of the character unit.
