  • Patent number: 9216604
    Abstract: A container system for containing a plurality of ink pads, comprising a cover defining and at least one base. The cover defines at least first and second cover curved portions that intersect at a cover intersection portion, and the at least one base defines at least first and second base curved portions that intersect at a base intersection portion. The cover allows first and second cover mounting projections to enter first and second base mounting notches, respectively, to form an interference fit that detachably attaches the cover to the base. The second wall allows first and second base mounting projections to enter first and second base mounting notches to form an interference fit capable of detachably attaching the base to another identical base.

  • Patent number: 8985018
    Abstract: A container system for containing a plurality of ink pads including a cover and a plurality of bases. The cover defines a cover mounting portion. Each base defines a support surface, a first base mounting portion, and a second base mounting portion. Each of the support surfaces is adapted to support at least one of the ink pads. The cover mounting portion is capable of engaging any one of the first base mounting portions to detachably attach the cover to the plurality of bases. The first base mounting portions are capable of engaging the second base mounting portions to detachably attach at least one of the bases to at least another of the bases. The container system operates in a stack mode and in a single mode. In the stack mode, the cover is detachably attached to one of the plurality of bases, and the one of the plurality of bases to which the cover is detachably attached is detachably attached to another of the plurality of bases.

  • Patent number: 8205549
    Abstract: A wheel assembly for applying ink to a target surface employs a wheel member, first and second adhesive sheets, and at least one inking member. Each adhesive sheet defines an inner adhesive surface and an outer adhesive surface. The inner adhesive surface of the first adhesive sheet secures the first adhesive sheet to the wheel member. In a first mode, the at least one inking member is detachably secured relative to the wheel member by an exposed outer adhesive surface of the second adhesive sheet. In a second mode, the at least one inking member is detachably secured relative to the wheel member by an exposed outer adhesive surface of the first adhesive sheet. The at least one inking member is brought into contact with the target surface to transfer ink on the at least one inking member to the target surface.

  • Patent number: 8028622
    Abstract: A container system for containing a plurality of ink pads comprises a cover defining a cover mounting portion and a plurality of bases. Each base defines a support wall portion defining a support surface, a first wall portion defining a first base mounting portion, and a second wall portion defining a second base mounting portion. At least one of the ink pads is supported on each of the support surfaces. The cover mounting portion is capable of engaging the first base mounting portions to detachably attach the cover to one of the plurality of bases to define a cover chamber. The first base mounting portions are capable of engaging the second base mounting portions to detachably attach at least one of the bases to at least another of the bases to define at least one base chamber. The container system operates in a stack mode.

  • Publication number: 20100326298
    Abstract: A stamp wheel assembly adapted for use as part of an ink stamp system comprising an axle assembly and first, second, and third wheel members. Each of the first, second, and third wheel members defines a stamp surface. At least two of the first, second, and third wheel members are supported by the axle assembly in a plurality of configurations. At least two of the first, second, and third wheel members are supported by the axle assembly in the plurality of configurations to define a plurality of angular relationships among the at least two of the first, second and third wheel members. The stamp surfaces of the at least two of the first, second, and third wheel members supported by the axle assembly in the plurality of configurations define a plurality of ink images. At least two of the plurality of ink images are unique.
