  • Patent number: 11220124
    Abstract: The technology describes a stamp and stamp pad for a self-inking stamp, having a housing or a carrying device for a pad for absorbing ink. The carrying device is rectangular in shape, having a base plate with longitudinal surfaces and lateral surfaces moulded thereon. On two surfaces running in parallel handle elements for the lateral gripping of the carrying device are arranged. On the lateral surface a handle element for the lateral gripping and pulling of the carrying device out of a stamp are formed of a plurality of parts displaceable within one another. The handle elements are formed for insertion in a clearance of a lower part of the stamp and do not protrude out of the outer surface of the lower part, so that an upper part of the stamp is displaceable via the clearance with the handle elements inserted in the lower part.

  • Patent number: 11135864
    Abstract: The invention relates to a stamp comprising a telescoping upper and lower part as well as a printing plate holder pivotally disposed in the lower part to accommodate the stamp plate. A retaining device for a stamp pad is associated with the printing plate holder, and in a rest position the printing plate holder is positioned in the range 80° to 135°, preferably at approximately 90° with respect to a contact area. From this rest position the stamp can be displaced into an operating position to produce a stamped imprint via guide means, whereby the printing plate holder is turned about two guide pins, wherein one guide pin is respectively disposed on a side face of the printing plate holder, and the guide pins simultaneously engage in guide slots in the upper and lower part.

  • Patent number: 7069852
    Abstract: A device comprising: a holding fixture (23) for a carrier device (5) of a stamp pad (40, in particular for a stamp (1) with a pivotable printing plate carrier (8), in which a shaft (20) with an approximately rectangular cross section is arranged. The carrier device (5) for the stamp pad (4) is mounted therein, and if necessary can be pushed out relative to the shaft (20). A holding device (31) positions the carrier device (5) relative to the guide track of the shaft (20) in its position of work or use (33). A further holding device (32) enables the carrier device (5) together with the stamp pad (4) to be positioned in a replacement or maintenance position (34) remote from the position of work or use (33), and to be restrictable relative to the shaft (20) on how far it can be pushed out. The further holding device (32) can, if necessary, be deactivated by applying increased displacement forces on the carrier device (5).
