  • Patent number: 9211753
    Abstract: An electronic printing device in the form of a hand stamp includes a housing in which a solid-state electronic printing assembly cartridge is removably inserted. Electric contacts, which are arranged on one face of the cartridge, for supplying power to and controlling the cartridge rest against corresponding electric contacts in the housing under the influence of pressure when the cartridge is inserted in the housing in the operating state. For this purpose, a spring device for holding the cartridge against the housing contacts is arranged in the housing on the cartridge face opposite the face with the electric contacts, and the spring device is a leaf spring which is arranged on a drive part face facing the cartridge when the cartridge is inserted in the operating state and which is angled outward and directly presses against the cartridge, the drive part being movably arranged in the housing.
