  • Patent number: 4697513
    Abstract: A belt stamp comprises a housing (1), and a baseplate (11), which is hinged to a bottom end of the housing and is adapted to be swung open from a closed position and carries a printing plate (12). A stamping belt assembly (5) is mounted in the housing (1) and is adjustable therein by screws in a direction which is normal to the baseplate (11). The stamping belt assembly comprises stamping belts (9), which carry type (10), which is adapted to extend through a window (13) formed in the baseplate. In order to facilitate the assembling of the stamp and to simplify the replacement of the baseplate (11), the baseplate carries at its top a hinge pin (15), which is parallel to the baseplate and is pivoted in an inwardly open half-bushing (14), which is carried by the housing (1). Owing to that arrangement the hinge pin (15) can leave the half-bushing (14) when the baseplate (11) has been swung open and the baseplate (11) can then be removed from the housing.
