Description

Smallpox Stamp

Transportable stamp

The invention relates to a portable stamp as described in claims 1 and 11.

A wide variety of transportable stamps are already known, in particular from EP 3 015 273 B, US 6 925 933, DE 103 08 658 B, EP 1 250 234 B, BRMU9102385 or BRMU8801723, which are mounted on a sliding element Imprint unit attached text plate are pushed out of the housing, whereupon the text plate is pivoted via a spring element in an approximately 90 ° position to the impression unit or housing in order to produce a stamp impression. At the same time as the impression unit is pushed out, a cushion receiving element is pivoted in order to expose the area around the text plate.

A disadvantage of such stamps is that difficulties arise when the stamp is closed and the user has to press the corresponding parts into the correct position by hand in order to close the stamp.

Furthermore, a transportable stamp is known from CN 2014160915 U, in which the impression unit is mounted in the housing of the stamp via a gearwheel. When the slide lever is actuated, the text plate on the ink pad is pushed forward and then swivels again in an approximately 90 ° position to the housing. If the slide lever is now pushed back into the rest position, the impression unit with the text plate tilts back and can be pushed into the housing. The disadvantage here is that the text plate is pushed over the ink pad with paint, so that dirt and bad stamp imprint can occur, since too much color is collected on the text plate between the characters. It is also not that easy to replace the ink pad.

The object of the invention is to provide a portable stamp in which the above-mentioned disadvantages are prevented and easy to use. Another object is that the user friendliness for such a stamp is increased.

Pocket stamp

The object is achieved by the invention.

The object of the invention is achieved by a transportable stamp in which the cushion receiving element and the impression element are connected to one another via an adjusting device in an open position, in particular in a stamp position, the adjusting device comprising a push rod and an adjusting wheel which can be brought into engagement therewith, which is preferably arranged at an end region of the cushion receiving element. It is advantageous here that the transportable stamp can only be closed even when an element, in particular the impression element or the cushion receiving element, is actuated without the sliding element, ie, for example, when the cushion receiving element is pushed back into the stamp housing, the impression element is automatically pushed back via the adjusting device or vice versa. The user therefore no longer has to forcibly open or close the stamp via the sliding elements, since a secure sequence is also possible by pulling or pushing the impression element or cushion receiving element.

An embodiment is advantageous in which the adjusting device, in particular the push rod, is arranged displaceably in a receptacle in the base element. This ensures that due to the position of the fastening of the push rod on the text plate holder, pivoting of the impression element is always guaranteed. The displaceable mounting means that it is possible to move the push rod at any time via the adjusting device, since the latter is not rigidly attached to the base element via an axis, as in the prior art. Thus, the user can open or close the stamp simply by pulling or pushing.

An embodiment is advantageous in which notches arranged corresponding to the adjusting wheel are arranged on one end region of the push rod, with an axle receptacle for fastening the impression unit being arranged over the axis at a further end region of the push rod. This ensures that a simple coupling or connection is created via the notches, via which the push rod can be adjusted.

However, an embodiment is also advantageous in which the adjusting wheel on the cushion receiving element in the form of a partial circle with several, preferably three to / 21st

Pocket stamp is formed four gear elements and the adjusting wheel, in particular the area of the pitch circle is preferably designed for fastening the axis and thus the movable mounting of the cushion receiving element on the core element. This ensures that an optimal use of space is possible and the size can be kept as small as possible. By using a pitch circle, the gear elements can also be made very robust, so that a long service life of the product is guaranteed.

Also advantageous is an embodiment in which a latching device for the stamp pad is arranged on the cushion receiving element, a latching nose for latching a snap button formed on the stamp pad being arranged in the region of the adjusting wheel, a groove-shaped recess for receiving a preferably being provided on the opposite end region of the pillow receiving element groove formed on the ink pad is arranged. This enables the insertable ink pad to be easily attached so that the user can easily replace the ink pad after the ink has been used up. Of course it is also possible to soak the ink pad with color.

An embodiment is advantageous in which the operation of the stamp, in particular the opening or closing, can be carried out on the one hand via the sliding element or on the other hand directly via the cap-like end region of the cushion receiving element and the impression element. It is advantageous that the user has different options for how to operate the stamp, so that the ease of use is increased.

But it is also an embodiment in which a fixing device, consisting of a holding element and fixing pins, is arranged to protect against lateral unfolding of the cushion receiving element and the impression element in the rest position, which automatically come into engagement with one another or into one another when the stamp is closed are positioned. This ensures that in the rest position when the stamp is carried, the movements prevent unwanted opening to the side. This prevents contamination from the color from the ink pad when the stamp is carried in your pocket or handbag. This also prevents unwanted opening into the stamp position.

/ 21

Pocket stamp

An embodiment is advantageous in which the fixing pins are arranged in an interior of the cushion receiving element. This enables a space-saving arrangement that is not disruptive for the customer to be achieved.

However, an embodiment is also advantageous in which the holding element is designed in the form of a guide groove on an end face of the side surface of the stamp housing, into which the fixing pins engage or are arranged when the stamp is in the rest position. This ensures that the locating pins engage securely in the guide groove. By resetting the molded guide grooves it is achieved that the adjustment path can be kept short and that these do not have a disruptive effect on the appearance in the open state.

An embodiment is advantageous in which a closure element, which forms part of the outer surface of the stamp housing, is arranged on the impression element. It is thereby achieved that the user can also operate the stamp on the impression element without risk of contamination. A major advantage is, however, that the adjustment path from the rest position to the stamp position can be shortened considerably, since the impression unit must be pushed outwards by the length of the end element.

The object of the invention is also achieved by a portable stamp, in which the pillow receiving element is formed with a removable cap element, the cap element being fastened to the base body of the pillow receiving element via a snap-in connection. This has the advantage that, for the first time in such a stamp type (pocket stamp), the possibility is created that a space is created below the cap element in which a sample print or any other print can be inserted. A major advantage is that the orientation of the inserted imprint pattern means that the user can immediately see whether he is applying the stamp impression correctly, i.e. that the user no longer has to turn the stamp around or look for small features on the stamp housing for the alignment, but instead that he simply looks at the opened cushion receiving element and can immediately determine the orientation of the stamp. By inserting the impression pattern accordingly, the stamp can be adjusted for left-handers, i.e. the impression pattern is rotated and the alignment for left-handers is thus easily achieved.

/ 21

Pocket stamp

An embodiment is advantageous in which the cap element is designed to be transparent, a space being arranged between the cap element and the base body for inserting a pattern impression. It is thereby achieved that the user can recognize the inserted impression pattern or a printout through the transparent cap element and thus can easily determine the orientation of the stamp. Furthermore, the cap element forms protection, in particular against weathering, for the inserted impression pattern or printout.

It is also advantageous to have a design in which the cap element has a special front surface which can be labeled with a laser, the surface in this heated area changing due to the action of heat with the laser, and thus the stamp can be customized or labeled. This ensures that every buyer can make their own lettering with text, logos or the like. Because of the structure of the stamp, it is possible at low cost to enable so-called solution 1 or quantity 1 production of the stamp.

Finally, an embodiment is advantageous in which the cap element is printed using an in-mold labeling or water-transfer-printing or IM-coating method. This allows individualization of the cap with standardized procedures.

The invention is subsequently described in the form of an exemplary embodiment, it being pointed out that the invention is not limited to the illustrated and described exemplary embodiment or the solutions.

In the introduction, it should be noted that in the different embodiments, the same parts are provided with the same reference numerals or the same component names, and the disclosures contained in the entire description can be applied analogously to the same parts with the same reference numerals or the same component names. The location information selected in the description, e.g. above, below, laterally, etc. related to the figure described and are to be transferred to the new position in the event of a change of position. Individual features or combinations of features from the exemplary embodiments shown and described can also represent independent inventive solutions.

1 to 11, a portable stamp 1 is shown. The stamp 1 comprises at least one stamp housing 2, a sliding element 3, an impression element 4 with a text plate 5 fastened thereon and a cushion receiving element 6 with an insertable and replaceable stamp pad 7.

/ 21

Pocket stamp

Furthermore, the stamp 1 has a fastening clip 8, preferably for fastening to a shirt pocket, trouser pocket, etc. In order to be able to fasten the stamp 1 on a chain or pull-out fastening cord, the stamp 1 is equipped on one side of the stamp housing 2 with a fastening element 9. Both the impression unit 4 and the cushion receiving element 6 have partial surfaces 10, 11 of an outer housing surface 12, which form a closed, harmonious housing surface 12 in a closed position, in particular a rest position 13 according to FIGS. 1 and 2. It can thus be said that the impression unit 3 and the cushion receiving element 5 form part of the stamp housing 2 to form the outer shape, with a closing element 10a, in particular the partial surface 10, which forms part of the stamp housing, now on the impression element 3 compared to the prior art 2 trains, is arranged. Of course, however, it is possible that the impression unit 4, as known from the prior art, does not form part of the stamp housing 2, but is completely enclosed by it and is only pushed out of it when it is actuated.

The main advantage of an embodiment according to the invention with a closure element 10 on the impression element 4 is that a displacement path 14, which displaces the stamp 1 from the rest position 13 according to FIG. 1 into a stamp position 15 according to FIG. 3 by displacing the sliding element 3, can be kept much shorter, since the impression element 4 does not have to be pushed as far out of the stamp housing 2, that is to say that the displacement path 14 is dependent on the stamp housing 2, in particular a length 16 of a housing projection 17, since the impression element 4 with its fastening above it must be pushed out to allow pivoting of the impression element 4.

So that the impression element 4 and also the cushion receiving element 6 can be pivoted, the impression element 4 and the cushion receiving element 6 are connected via an axis 18, 19 to a displaceably mounted base element 20. The sliding element 3 is also fastened to the base element 15, so that the sliding element 3 can be displaced with the base element 20 from outside the stamp housing 2, preferably in the longitudinal direction of the stamp housing 2. Here, the cushion receiving element 6 is fastened via a spring element (not shown) in such a way that it is slid on with an adjusting device 21, as will be explained in more detail later /

Pocket Stamp is described, coupled or uncoupled and thus the cushion receiving element 6 is pivoted about 90 ° to the housing, as can be seen in Fig. 3 or 4, that is, the cushion receiving element 6 automatically when the fixing device is disengaged from a defined open Position is adjusted, as is also the case from the

Technology is already known.

In contrast to the prior art, the impression element 4 is connected without a spring element via the axis 18 to a push rod 22 which is connected to the base element 20. The push rod 22 assumes the function of a spring in that the push rod 22 can be slightly curved, for example, the push rod 22 being bent or being straight in the rest position 13 and thus being easily insertable into the stamp housing 2. As a result, when the stamp 2 is opened, the push rod 22 moves back into the curved rest position (see FIGS. 7 and 8), so that the impression element 4 attached to it is pivoted by approximately 90 ° when the axis 18 has been pushed beyond the housing projection 17 , If the stamp 1 is closed again, the push rod 22 is bent, in particular straight, so that it remains prestressed in the stamp housing 2, as can be seen in FIG. 6. The curved push rod 22 is preferably shown in FIGS. 7 and 8. Of course, the push rod 22 can also be straight and it is ensured on the basis of the fastening position on the text plate holder that the impression unit 4 is correspondingly rotated when pushed out or pushed back, on the one hand to allow a stamp impression in an approximately 90 ° position to the stamp housing 2 or on the other hand rotated impression unit 4 to allow pushing back into the stamp housing 2.

It is essential in the solution according to the invention that both the impression element 4 and the cushion receiving element 6 are brought into engagement with the adjustment device 21 or adjusted via this, so that there is a coupling of the two elements, that is to say that when an element is operated manually, for example when the cushion receiving element 6 is folded back and pushed into the stamp housing 2 by the coupling via the adjusting device 21, the impression element 4 is also folded over and inserted, which is possible due to the adjusting device 21. This prevents mutual blocking, which is often the case with the stamp known from the prior art. If the elements block, the user often presses with increased effort / 21

Pocket Stamp against the blocking parts, so that the stamp is destroyed. This can be prevented with the mutual coupling via the adjusting device 21 in the solution according to the invention.

In order for such a coupling to be possible, the adjusting device 21 is formed from the push rod 22 and an adjusting wheel 23 which can be brought into engagement therewith and which is preferably arranged at an end region 24 of the cushion receiving element 6. At an end region 25 of the push rod 22, in particular that associated with the adjusting wheel 23, notches 26 are arranged corresponding to the adjusting wheel 23. Opposite, that is to say at a further end region 27 of the push rod 22, there is an axle receptacle 28 for fastening the impression element 4 via the axle 18. The push rod 22 is arranged freely displaceably in a receptacle 29. In order to adjust the push rod 22, only the sliding element 2 has to be moved, so that the gearwheel elements 30 arranged on the adjusting wheel 23, preferably three to four gearwheel elements 30 being sufficient, are brought into engagement with the notches 26 and are thus engaged Push rod 22 is pushed forward or back. By coupling the impression unit 4 to the cushion receiving element 6 via the adjusting device 21, it is also possible for the stamp 1 to be opened or closed without actuating the sliding element 3. This can be done in such a way that, for example, when the stamp 1 is open, i.e. in the stamp position 15, either the impression element 4 or the cushion receiving element 6 is simply pushed back, as a result of which, due to the coupling via the adjusting device 21, the further element, either the cushion receiving element or that Impression element, is pushed back into the stamp housing 2. For opening, it is also possible for one element to be simply pushed forward by gripping or brushing, so that the further element is moved along with the adjusting device 21 and the stamp 1 is thus fully opened. It is thus possible for the first time that manual closing and opening is possible even without the sliding element 3 when an element is actuated, in particular the impression element 4 or the cushion receiving element 6.

In order to prevent the stamp from being inadvertently folded apart in the case of strong vibrations or shaking movements in the rest position 13, the stamp is provided with a fixing device 31. The fixing device 31 is formed from a preferably two holding element 32 and fixing pins 33. The holding element 32 has a / 21

Pocket stamp

Guide groove 34, wherein the holding element 32 is arranged on an end face 35 of the side surface or side wall of the stamp housing 2. At the same time, the position of the holding element 32 is set back relative to the housing closure, so that the end face 35 in front of it serves as a support surface for the fixing pins 33. The guide groove 34 is also directed in the opposite direction to the interior of the stamp housing 2 to the outside, so that a simple engagement of the fixing pins 33 is possible. The fixing pins 33 are arranged in the inside of the cushion receiving element 6, the stamping pad being arranged between the two fixing pins 33 shown.

Furthermore, the portable stamp 1, also referred to as a pocket stamp, has for the first time a possibility for individualization, as is shown in FIGS. 10 and 11. For this purpose, the cushion receiving element 6 is designed with a removable cap element 36, the cap element 36 being fastened to the base body 38 of the cushion receiving element 6 via a snap-in connection 37. For this purpose, the base body 38 preferably has recesses 39, whereas locking projections 40 are arranged on the cap element 36. Thus, one only needs to insert the locking projections 40 on the back (the side with two locking projections 40) into the corresponding recesses 39 and then press lightly on the stamp housing 2 so that the front locking hook 38 also engages.

Furthermore, it is provided that, when the cap element 36 is mounted, there is a free space 41 between it and the base body 38, in which a pattern print 42 or any other plate-like expression can be inserted. In such an application, the cap element 36 is designed to be transparent so that this inserted sample print 42 or printout can be read by the user. At the same time, the cap element 36 or the inserted impression or sample impression 42 also serves as an aid for the user in order to find the correct stamp position or orientation without having to turn the stamp 1, that is to say that the user only has a look at that Window, especially the sample print, must make in order to determine whether it holds the stamp 1 correctly or would produce a wrong stamp print.

However, an embodiment is also possible in which the cap element 36 has a special front surface which can be inscribed with a laser, the surface in this heated area changing due to the action of heat with the laser and thus the stamp 1 being customizable or inscribable , ie that / 21

Pocket stamp, for example, the cap element 36 is inserted in a laser plotter, which generates a corresponding graphic or text on the cap and this is visible through the color change with high resolution. The cap element 36 can then simply be placed on the stamp housing 2. It is possible for the 5 cap element 36 to have a wide variety of colors and for the user to be able to choose any color.

For the sake of order, it should finally be pointed out that for a better understanding of the structure of the engraving sequence 1 and its components or its components

Components were sometimes to scale and / or enlarged and / or reduced and, above all, only shown schematically.

Furthermore, individual features or combinations of features from the different exemplary embodiments shown and described can also form independent, inventive or inventive solutions.
