Abstract: A removable print element assembly can be installed on and removed from a hand stamp without the user's fingers ever being in close proximity to the print element (die). The removable print element assembly can be installed on and removed from a hand printer without the need for a friction fit fastener or mechanical linking device. The removable print element assembly is provided for a hand printer with a support element capable of magnetic engagement. The removable print element assembly comprises a print carrier having a surface for removable magnetic engagement with the support element of the hand printer, a removal actuator, and a print element (die) affixed to the print carrier. The surface for removable magnetic engagement with the hand printer is a magnetic. The surface for removable magnetic engagement with the hand printer is the surface of a magnet fixed to the print carrier.

Abstract: The invention provides a seal press for use in embossing paper with a desired pattern using a die and a die counter. The seal press includes a housing, a seal set movable in the housing between inner and outer positions, and housing means biasing the seal set into an open position to receive the paper. A lever is pivotally connected to the housing and movable between upper and lower positions. First engagement means is provided between the lever and seal set with the lever and seal set in respective upper and forward positions, the lever being supported by the seal set in these positions to permit operation of the lever to close the seal set and emboss the paper. Also, second engagement means is provided between the lever and the seal set with the lever and seal set in respective lever and rearward positions for storage of the seal press. The seal set is biased towards the outer position and thereby through the second engagement means the lever is biased towards the lower position.
