Definitions

  • the invention relates to a hand stamp with a housing and with a spring overlapping the housing sliding pressure-type operating bracket on the side walls of the housing has guided legs, and with at least one in one of the legs of the operating bracket in horizontally displaceable locking element, which can be brought into engagement with at least one rest niche, which is provided on the adjacent side wall of the housing, around the operating bracket in its predefined positions Locking displacement on the housing.
  • a hand stamp is from the AT 384 999 B and the AT 390 230 B known of a self-inking device for an im Housing movable type of pressure unit and a Has a turning mechanism for this; around the printing type unit to transfer to the stamp position when using the hand stamp, it is turned 180 ° with the help of the turning mechanism and moved; an operating bracket serves as a handle for this, that in this known hand stamp with a hollow handle is connected, inside of which one with the stamp housing connected pipe arranged with the interposition of a spring is.
  • an inwardly movable bolt mounted on the handle, which in one of several notches on the inner tube can engage. In this way e.g. in a fixed intermediate position Stamp color refilled or a change in e.g. in shape made of ribbons, adjustable print types become.
  • the stamp must be held with one hand and with the the other hand the latch can be moved.
  • a hand stamp is also commercially available, the a further development of the stamp explained above forms as the upper cross part of the operating bracket itself forms the handle handle. Accordingly, this is for fixation the different stamp position provided locking element also designed as a horizontally displaceable bolt, however here is the latch on one of the legs of the operating bracket arranged.
  • This bar is perpendicular to the neighboring one Side wall of the housing in one of several recesses can be pressed into the side wall of the housing, the lower one Edge of the rest niches as obliquely outwards Reset surface is designed to turn the latch back out to lead if the operating bracket on the housing continues downwards is moved. To unlock the operating bracket, this is So just pushed down so that the latch along the sloping surface of the recess niche slides outwards, causing the Actuating bracket is freely movable again.
  • the hand stamps described are liable among other things the disadvantage of that by the between the operating bracket and the spring acting on the housing arranged on one side Latches a lateral force that occurs when the latch is released to tilt the legs of the operating bracket to the Side walls of the housing can lead. But above all it is disadvantageous that the bolt designed as a slide a separate Is a component that has to be manufactured and for which a separate bearing must be provided on the operating bracket.
  • the object of the invention is to create a hand stamp of the type mentioned, the locking device under construction and is simple to manufacture and easy to operate with one hand is and with no tilting of the legs of the Operating bracket occurs on the side walls of the housing.
  • the hand stamp according to the invention of the above Art is characterized in that the resting niche on her is provided with an undercut in the upper edge, and that the Locking element is formed by a resilient tongue, the free End can be pushed into the recess and behind the undercut can be hooked on.
  • This solution is advantageous a separate, slidably mounted locking part for the Avoid locking or unlocking of the operating bracket; the rather, the resilient tongue is fixed to the actuating bracket leg connected, so that there is a significant simplification in the production results.
  • the tongue is in its rest position within the by the wall thickness of the leg of the Actuator bracket predetermined limit is located, whereby it is ensured that the free end of the tongue in its Rest position not involuntarily engaged with the undercut the rest niche can reach.
  • the through opening and the tongue are generally rectangular in view. This enables a compact tongue formation that also a sufficiently large printing area for indentation can offer.
  • 1 generally designates a hand stamp with a housing 2 and an operating bracket 3, which Casing 2 and its two legs 4 on the two Side walls 5 of the frame-like housing 2 against the force a spring 6 are slidably mounted; the spring 6 supports on the one hand on the housing 2 and on the other hand on the operating bracket 3 from.
  • the operating bracket 3 is at Use of the stamp 1 in a known manner, a printing unit from an upper rest position to a lower operating position transferred and also turned by 180 °.
  • the turning mechanism of this Hand stamp 1 forming parts as well as type wheels, type bands, Printing plate, self-inking ink pads etc. omitted, which on are known and require no further explanation. For A more detailed explanation can be found here, for example, on AT 384 999 B are referred.
  • the operating bracket 3 in different height positions its displacement on the housing 2 for the purpose of Setting the type wheels, for refilling the ink pad, or to lock in rest or work position are in the Legs 4 of the operating bracket 3 locking elements in the form of resilient tongues 7 arranged.
  • These tongues 7 are each like will be explained in more detail in rest niches 8 in the associated side wall 5 of the housing 2, and their Education is best viewed in the enlarged view 4 shows which a tongue 7 in the rest position shows.
  • the free end 9 of the tongue 7 is pointed upwards tapered and goes down into one continuously serving as a handle thickened part 10 over, the convex Push button 11 is formed.
  • One on the thickened part 10 following lower connector 12 is about half as thick as that thickened part 10 executed to a resilient bending of the To allow tongue 7.
  • the tongue 7 is in a through opening 13 in the leg 4 arranged and in one piece with its lower end on the leg 4 molded.
  • the operating bracket 3 and thus also the tongue 7 is made of a suitable plastic, preferably ABS Die casting or injection molding. It exists but in principle certainly also the possibility of the tongue 7 as to form metallic leaf spring with a push button, which in suitably in the through opening 13 on the leg 4 is attached, e.g. inserted in a slot, glued etc. will.
  • the mentioned recess 8 is in the side wall 5 of the housing 2 (shown in FIG. 4 with a dash-dotted line) trained obliquely inwards upwards and provided with an undercut 15, the shape of the tip 9 the tongue 7 is adapted.
  • FIG. 2 there are three rest niches 8 in the middle of the side walls 5, opposite the tongues 7, arranged in different height positions (see Fig. 1 to 3).
  • FIG. 2 can also be discontinuous 8, i.e. each consisting of two niche parts on either side of a central one Longitudinal slot 16 in the respective housing side wall 5 be educated; the longitudinal slots 16 serve in conventional way of guiding a print type axis.
  • FIG. 5 shows a modification of the latching device, in which the free end 9 of the tongue 7 is hook-shaped and the tongue 7 instead of at its lower end, as shown in Fig.4, at its upper end in one piece with the leg 4 of the operating bracket 3 is formed. It forms adjacent to the hook-shaped end 7 a thickened material area again Push button 11.
  • the operating bracket is required to release the locking mechanism 3 only pressed down as far relative to the housing 2 until the free end 9 of the tongues 7, due to the inherent spring force of the tongues 7 and optionally by the Slideway along the sloping inner surface of the recesses 8 outwards, under the upper, undercut edge of the Rest niches 8 springs back into the rest position, so that the Actuating bracket 3 is freely movable again.
