Description

The invention relates to an elongated stamping device, preferably in the form of a pen, with a pivotally mounted on a handle Farbkissenträgerfür a color pad, and with a pivotally mounted on a support arm stamp plate for a stamping cliché, wherein in use on the ink pad in the Einfärbestellung the stamp plate with the Stamp cliché rests.

There are already pen-like stamp devices known, which may even be integrated into a writing instrument, and which are compact and you can carry with you comfortably. However, these stamping devices all have a very narrow stamping surface, since this is limited by the circular diameter of the pen-shaped stamping device, and thus it is not possible to accommodate a standard private stamp whose width is an adequate size for accommodating the required information (eg name and address ), since the pin diameter is then in a range in which the stamp device becomes unwieldy.

From CA 2 028 611 A and DE 3340293 C1 such a writing instrument is known in which a stiflförmige stamping device can be screwed into the cap. The stamping device consists essentially of a holder on which both a support for the ink pad and the stamp plate - are pivotally mounted on a support arm. In the swiveled Einfärbe- or rest position stamp pad and stamp plate are adjacent to each other, so that there is the Stirtform the stamp device. However, here too, the width of the stamp plate is limited to the diameter of the pin, resulting in only a very limited accommodation possibility with respect to the stamp types.

The aim of the invention is to provide an elongated stamping device as stated above which allows a comparatively larger width of the stamp plate and thus a larger stamp area, wherein a variety of different stamp types can be used, but still the user an easy-to-use, good in the hand lying punch device is offered.

The stamping device according to the invention of the type mentioned is formed according to the characterizing part of claim 1. This results in an elongated Stem pelvorrichtung which differs from the hitherto known stamping devices in with a generally circular cross-section and has a generally flat cross-sectional shape, which on the one hand a handy, like a pen plug-in copy and anderesteits a stamp area with larger width allows significantly more characters or Stamp types can be accommodated, for example, to provide standard private stamps. During use, the stamp plate and the ink pad are transferred from the closed Einfärbestellung in an open die position in which the stamp plate is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the punch device.

Thus, the stamping device does not cause contamination by the stamping color during transport, and to keep the stamping device in the Einfärbestellung, a removable Aufsteck-sleeve is provided in the Einfärbestellung, which encloses the support arm, the stamp plate and the ink pad carrier, and their open end to the Handle connects.

For a good handling and a visually attractive shape, it is advantageous if the cross section of the sleeve is oval.

It may also be advantageous, for example, for a favorable stacking when the cross section of the sleeve is rectangular.

Particularly well, the surface of the sleeve for Werbeaufdrucke, if the cross section of the sleeve has two parallel portions, which are interconnected via two curved portions.

For a high ease of use despite simple training in which the user must perform as little as possible independently, it is advantageous if the stamp plate is eccentrically mounted on the support arm to azuschzuschenken on acceptance of the sleeve automatically due to gravity in the stem position.

Also, it is convenient for convenient handling, when the bearing of the stamp plate is provided on the support arm with a spring to swing out automatically when removing the sleeve in the die position.

Thus, the punch plate is stopped when swinging in the punch position, it is also advantageous if the support arm is provided on one side a stop for the punch plate in its swung-out position.

In order to be able to use different stamping plates, with different stamping clichés, in the stamping device, it is favorable if the stamping plate can be detachably connected to the holding arm, e.g. by a snap connection.

In order to obtain the necessary for coloring contact pressure of the ink pad to the stamp plate, it is advantageous if the stamp plate has a thickness between 1.7 mm and 2.3 mm.

So that the ink pad carrier is not a hindrance in the stamping process, it is advantageous if the plane defined by the ink pad carrier in the stamp position with the longitudinal axis of the stamping device an angle, preferably substantially a right angle, includes.

In order to make it as automatic as possible for the user to transfer from the closed Einfärbestellung in the open die position, it is advantageous if the storage of the ink pad carrier is provided with a spring to automatically auszuschwenken when removing the sleeve in the die position.

In particular, in view of the comparatively wide shape of the stamping device, it is expedient here if the spring is a leg spring which is mounted on the pivot axis of the ink pad carrier.

To compensate for different heights of different stamp clichés, and thus to ensure a uniform support of the stamp pad on the ink pad in Einärbestellung, it is advantageous if a Farbkissenträgerarm the ink pad carrier for receiving a bearing pin has a slot whose longitudinal axis substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the punch device runs.

For a stamp surface in which a variety of different motifs can be printed, it is advantageous if the stamping cliché has an impression surface whose width is greater than 1/3 of the length.

For the use of private stamps with standard dimensions, it is advantageous if the stamping cliché has an impression surface whose width is greater than 9 mm and whose length is greater than 35 mm, and preferably has a width of 14 mm and a length of 38 mm.

To achieve a high print run without refilling the color memory with ink, it is advantageous if the height of the ink pad is greater than 2 mm, preferably equal to 3 mm.

Despite the comparatively thick ink pad, the stamping ink is used up from the ink reservoir after repeated printing processes, and thus the stamping device is no longer used, or only to a limited extent. Since a Nachtränken with a color bottles often leads to lower-quality prints, it is advantageous if the support arm is detachably connected to the ink pad carrier, thus allowing a simple pad change and to be able to use the stamp device long.

In a particularly simple and cost-effective manner, the detachable connection can be realized when the support arm over a. Dovetail-shaped slide rail is connected to the ink pad carrier.

In order to secure the rail in the longitudinal direction in the ink pad carrier, it is advantageous if the insertion rail is connected by means of latching projections with the ink pad carrier.
