Abstract: A self-inking stamp with overhead inking, with a lower component for placement on the surface to be stamped, with a swivel mechanism for a print platen support arranged in the lower component for swiveling reciprocal movement of a print platen support between a stamp pad and a support frame, and with an actuator upper component mounted for slideable movement against the bias of a spring relative to the lower component, the upper component straddling the lower component and connected by its lateral parts to the lower component by a print platen support swivel axle guided in elongated openings of the lower component, whereby the actuator upper component is provided with a substantially U-shaped body portion and a hood part of transparent material pivotally connected therewith and covering an oblique text receiving plate at the upper transverse member of the body portion and the open fron section of the body portion, and whereby the lower component in a direction away from the stamp pad receptacle at its front s

Abstract: A self-inking stamp with overhead inking, with a lower component (1) for placement on the surface to be stamped, with a swivel mechanism (10) for a print platen support arranged in the lower component for swiveling reciprocal movement of a print platen support (11) between a stamp pad (4) and a support frame (13), and with an actuator upper component (2) mounted for slideable movement against the bias of a spring relative to the lower component, the upper component straddling the lower component and connected by its lateral parts to the lower component by a print platen support swivel axle (11′) guided in elongated openings (12) of the lower component, whereby the actuator upper component is provided with a substantially U-shaped body portion (2′) and a hood part (7) of transparent material pivotally connected therewith and covering an oblique text receiving plate (6) at the upper transverse member of the body portion and the open fron section of the body portion, and whereby the lower component i

Abstract: Self inking stamp with a stamp housing (1) for receiving a stamp platen (2) with a printing element (3) which by a swivel mechanism (5) may be swivelingly moved within the housing from a position in which the printing element engages a stamp pad (4) into a printing position, the stamp platen being actuatable by an actuator (6) stretching over the housing and coupled to the stamp platen, the actuator being latchable in a latching position of the stamp with the stamp housing by latching elements (7″), the latching elements being formed at the free ends of a separate bow (7) which may be snap-fitted over the actuator and forming an upper display window (S) of the actuator and the latching elements of which may be moved into engagement with latching elements (1″) of the housing through recesses (6″) in the side walls (6′) of the actuator.
