Abstract: A cap for a writing implement comprises an outer cap having open top and bottom ends with an inner cap having at its top a closed end and at its bottom an open end and coaxially connected to the outer cap by means of a plurality of radially extending ribs to define openings between the outer and inner caps. Flange elements are disposed below the openings for preventing the writing tip from entering the openings and guiding it toward the inner cap, the flange opening elements being circumferentially spaced apart from one another by means of slits in alignment with the ribs.

Abstract: A date-stamping apparatus having a casing, a bridge member located at the lower end of the casing, a tension roller located above the casing and forced upwardly, an endless date-printing belt having printing letters on its outside surface and spanned between the bridge member and the tension roller, a date-belt driving wheel located within the casing at a substantially intermediate portion. The date of driving wheel has a circumferential engagement section co-operating with the belt and being contacted by the outside surface of the belt, and an electric motor intermittently energized by a timing circuit and operatively connected with the belt-driving wheel, so that stamped date is electrically adjusted.

Abstract: An adhesive tape case provided with a cutter has a case body comprising two separable portions. The cutter is fixed adjacent to a tape outlet of the case body. In addition, two rollers for advancing a length of tape is provided adjacent to the tape outlet and driven through two gears. The gears are driven by the operation of an operational knob through a rack plate. The rack plate is adapted to engage with one of the gears when moving forward and to separate therefrom when moving backward. The operational knob is operated on the exterior of the case body or on the inside thereof, depending upon the size of the tape roll employed.

Abstract: The present invention is a rotary stamp. It comprises a U-shaped frame, a shaft rotatably inserted in the frame, a bridge mounted on the frame, cylinder means fitted on the shaft and operation means for rotating the shaft. An endless belt-like stamping member is mounted around the cylinder means and the bridge. The cylinder means has flanges at both ends having knurls around the circumferences thereof. On the inner side of the frame elastic plates are provided, each plate having on its lower end a pawl to be engaged by one of the knurls on the flanges of the cylinder means.
