  • Publication number: 20150352876
    Abstract: The invention relates to a self-inking stamp (1) comprising a stamp housing (2) in which a reversible stamp unit (20) and a receiving space (6) for an ink pad container (5) are arranged, an actuation part (3) which is mounted on the stamp housing (2), and which can be displaced relative thereto from an upper rest position to a lower printing position, which pivotably supports the stamp unit (20), and a window part (4) which is at least partially transparent, detachably mounted by a clip connection on the actuation part (3) and through which the print card (12) arranged inside the window part (4) is visible. When the window part (4) is mounted on the actuation part (3), two opposing walls cover the actuation part (3) when it is in the upper rest position, and extend downwards over the receiving space (6), and cover the latter, the window part being mounted so that it can be displaced up and down on the actuation part (3).

  • Publication number: 20150258831
    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.

  • Patent number: 8695500
    Abstract: A self-inking stamp includes a housing, in which an ink pad holder adapted to receive an ink pad and a stamping unit including stamp types are arranged. The ink pad holder is replaceably arranged in the housing. An actuating member is slidably mounted on the housing and is coupled with a turn-over mechanism for pivoting the stamping unit between a coloring position and a print position. A signal generator records a movement of the actuating member into an actuating position corresponding to the print position. An electronic evaluating unit including a counting module is connected to the signal generator for processing a signal supplied by the signal generator. A switching member is connected to the evaluating unit and is arranged to be switched from a first switching state to a second switching state when the ink pad holder is inserted or removed.
