Definitions
- the invention relates to a hand stamp with a two-part housing which has a housing part intended for receiving a stamp plate and which is movable relative to the other housing part.
- the object of the invention is to design a stamp of the type specified in the introduction in such a way that cambered, in particular spherical surfaces with it, even if they are smooth, can be easily provided with a clean stamp impression.
- the stamp according to the invention is characterized in that the stamp housing is substantially circular to oval and the stamp plate has a concave shape, an elastic ring rib being provided on the outer circumference of the stamp plate or on the free edge of the housing part receiving the stamp plate, which provides a mounting frame for the Stamp plate forms.
- a stamp pad with one of the The invention relates to a hand stamp with a two-part housing which has a housing part intended for receiving a stamp plate and which is movable relative to the other housing part.
- Previously known hand stamps which can be produced with a relatively small size and carried in the pocket, are not suitable for stamping cambered, in particular smooth, cambered surfaces, because the stamp plate placed on such surfaces tends to slide off the surface, which results in the stamp impression smeared.
- the object of the invention is to design a stamp of the type specified in the introduction in such a way that cambered, in particular spherical surfaces with it, even if they are smooth, can be easily provided with a clean stamp impression.
- the stamp according to the invention is characterized in that the stamp housing is substantially circular to oval and the stamp plate has a concave shape, an elastic ring rib being provided on the outer circumference of the stamp plate or on the free edge of the housing part receiving the stamp plate, which provides a mounting frame for the Stamp plate forms.
- a clean impression can be made on a spherical surface, such as a golf ball, without the risk of the stamp plate sliding off.
- a stamp pad with one of the star pelplate concavity provided corresponding convexity are displaceable relative to one another and can be detached from one another, the stamp pad resting on a shaping cushion holder base of the lower housing part, preferably formed by webs, and being held in its position by a clamping ring inserted into this housing part ,
- the ink pad can also be designed as a molded foam part.
- the underside of the lower housing part is flattened to form a standing surface and the upper edge of this housing part forms a receptacle for the object to be stamped.
- the housing part can be used as a housing for e.g. serve spherical object.
- the elastic ring rib seals between the housing parts in the closed position against the escape of solvent vapors of the stamping ink.
- the seal can be designed as a rubber ring seal or by the precisely fitting design of the interacting housing parts.
- the seal can also be effective when the stamp pad is colored, because the ring rib forming the attachment frame can be deformed as a sealing lip against the frame receiving the stamp pad.
- the mutual connection of the housing parts can by a snap fit, screwing, a bayonet lock, a friction lock and the like. can be achieved.
- the stamp according to the invention can also be used as
- Premk stamp i.e. be designed with a pre-colored printing plate, or as a self-inking stamp with a turning mechanism. In the latter case it is provided that the stamp is designed as a self-inking stamp and the lower housing part, which is movable relative to the upper housing part, receives the stamp plate, the stamp pad and a turning mechanism, the free edge of this housing part forming the elastic mounting frame.
- Fig. 1 shows a hand stamp m exploded view in the Axial- "srhmtt- ⁇ " ⁇ Fig. 2 and 3 and Fig. 4 shows a modified embodiment also in axial section m two positions.
- the hand stamp shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 has an essentially cylindrical housing made of plastic consisting of two parts 1, 2 which can be separated from one another.
- the upper housing part 1 takes a flexible stamp plate 3 made of plastic, rubber and the like. on, which has a concave impression surface 3 'and on the outside thereof a circumferential annular rib 4 projecting beyond the impression surface, with which the stamp plate, while slightly deforming the rib, onto a convex surface of the object to be stamped, e.g. a golf ball, is placed and held in the predetermined position.
- the stamp plate 3 is glued into a recess 1 'of the housing part 1 via an adhesive film 3 ".
- the lower housing part 2 which is connected to the upper housing part 1 via a sliding seat in the closed position, is for receiving a three-layer ink pad 5 with a through Ribs 6 formed domed bottom provided.
- the stamp pad 5 is held in the lower housing part 2 by a clamping ring 7, which presses the outer edge of the stamp pad downward and thus the pad abuts the cambered floor. Due to the multi-layer design of the stamp pad, the service life of the stamp can be increased considerably because more volume is available for the stamp ink.
- the free edge part 1 "of the upper housing part 1 forms the attachment edge.
- the housing part 1 is formed from flexible plastic so that the edge part 1" can deform somewhat if necessary.
- the stamp plate 3 is applied to ribs of the housing part 1.
- the upper housing part 1 receives a compression spring 8 and forms a guide for the lower housing part 2, which, like in conventional self-inking stamps, receives a color pad 5, which, however, is designed here to be convex.
- the lower housing part 2 is also provided with a part of a turning mechanism 9 'for a movable, concave stamp plate 3, the support 10 of which is guided via pins 10' in guide slots 11 of the housing part 2 and engages with receptacles 9 "in the upper housing part 1 , which form the other part of the turning mechanism, which becomes effective when the upper housing part 1 moves relative to the lower housing part 2.
- the free edge 2 'of the lower housing part 2 is elastic and forms the attachment edge with which the housing part onto a cambered surface is printed.
- the ring rib 4 forming a mounting frame for the stamp plate is so elastically deformable that it can be used, for example, when the stamp pad is colored, in which process pressure on the pad in the direction of the arrow P is exerted by a monochrome device, not shown, deforms outwards, as the right half of FIG. 4 shows, and seals between the frame of the stamp pad 5 and the housing part 1. This is an additional function of the ring rib.
- the housing parts 1, 2 according to the left half of FIG.
- the ring rib 4 has returned to its original shape and seals against the escape of solvent vapors of the stamping ink.
- a Rastvemegelung 12 ensures the cohesion of the housing parts 1,2.
- the exemplary embodiments described can be modified in various ways within the scope of the invention, in particular as regards the design of the stamp plate and the external shape of the housing parts.
- the underside of the lower housing part can be flattened to form a standing surface, the upper edge of this housing part forming a receptacle for the object to be stamped.
