  • Publication number: 20170217147
    Abstract: Provides is a seal surface carving apparatus capable of carving a seal surface using only a single attachment irrespective of a size of a stamp. A porous impression die having a seal surface to be carved is set on a dedicated attachment, and is loaded in a seal surface carving apparatus. A fitting projection fit to a bottom portion of the impression die is formed on the attachment, and impression dice having various sizes may be set. In addition, a slit hole extending in a conveyance direction is formed in an impression die setting portion of the attachment. Impression die size determination means of the seal surface carving apparatus determines a size of the impression die by detecting a position at which the impression die blocks the slit hole.

  • Patent number: 9545806
    Abstract: A self-inking stamp is configured such that, in a marking preparation state, a marking member is maintained in a state in which it is oriented upwardly within a stamp body of the self-inking stamp and pressed against an ink pad to supply ink thereto, and, during a marking operation, after the inner frame is moved downwardly while being reversingly rotated and oriented downwardly, the downwardly-oriented marking member is exposed from the stamp body and enabled to make a mark. The self-inking stamp is also configured to lock the marking member in a state in which it is exposed from the stamp body, for replacement and cleaning of the marking member.

  • Patent number: 9517648
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a porous stamp assembly. The manufacturing method of the assembly comprises a first step of hermetically adhering a porous impression die member of thermoplastic resin to a front end face of a frame; a second step of fixing the die member embedded frame onto a mount that is to be in face-to-face relation with a thermal head attached to a seal carving device; a third step of putting the thermal head in contact with an impression surface of the porous impression die member, with a resin film interposed therebetween, and moving the thermal head and the porous impression die member relative to each other; and a fourth step of removing the die member embedded frame from the mount.
