Description

Stamp and receiving device for an ink pad

The invention relates to a receiving device for a support device of a stamp pad, as described in the preamble of claims 1, 4, and a stamp, as characterized in claims 17, 18.

Different receptacles for stamp pads or carrying devices are already known, for example from WO 01/83227 AI by the applicant. Such a receiving device is arranged in a lower part of a multi-part stamp housing. The lower part of the stamp housing is designed like a hollow prism and has an approximately rectangular cross section. In the direction of the longitudinal axis of the hollow prism, guideways running parallel to the longitudinal axis are arranged on the two narrow sides of the lower part for receiving guide elements of the upper part. The upper part is motionally coupled to a pressure plate support via a lever mechanism and is pivotably guided via slide tracks formed on the two inner sides of the narrow sides of the lower part. The upper part of the housing, which is connected in motion to the pressure plate support, is held in a stop-limited rest position by means of a spring arranged between it and the lower part such that the guide elements of the upper part are located in the end region of the guideway of the lower part facing this. In this rest position, the pressure plate carrier rests on the stamp pad, which is mounted displaceably in an end face of the lower part facing the upper part, in particular in a guide track running transversely to the longitudinal axis of the hollow prism, for a carrying device of the stamp pad. To replace the stamp pad, the pressure plate carrier is moved in the direction of the end face of the hollow prism opposite the stamp pad and, if necessary, locked. The stamp pad can then be removed transversely to the longitudinal axis or moved along the guideway with the carrying device to such an extent that the stamp pad can be replaced or the carrying device can be removed together with the stamp pad from the lower part. To hold the support device of the stamp pad in the use or use position, a locking device is provided between the lower part and the support device, which can be designed with elastically resettable locking elements.

Furthermore, it is already known in the case of a stamp to provide a latching lug, which interacts with roughening, between the support device for the stamp pad and the lower part of the housing, in order to provide a catch when the support device is pulled out or pushed in To achieve braking effect and limit the speed at which the carrying device can be adjusted relative to the housing.

These known stamps have proven themselves very well in practice. However, when the stamp pad was removed from the housing, contamination of the user's hands by stamp ink could not be avoided in some cases.

The object of the present invention is to design the arrangement and / or design of the stamp pad or its carrying device in such a way that the stamp pad can be replaced without or with less risk of contamination of the user or the user

Environment is possible.

This object of the invention is achieved by the features in claim 1.

It is advantageous here that the stamp pad can be brought into a position with a part of the stamp, in particular with a housing part, in which an exchange of the stamp pad is possible easily and with safe handling. In particular, a direct grasping of the stamp pad or the carrying device for removal from the stamp or from its housing is not necessary and an unpleasant or annoying contamination of the operator can thereby be avoided. It is also possible

Saving components, since the receptacle for the stamp pad can be integrally formed in one piece on an already required component, in particular on a wall part of the stamp or its housing-like receiving device.

The advantageous development according to claim 2 makes it possible to continue to use the flat component of the stamp housing and only to replace the stamp pad together with the carrying device.

The advantageous embodiment according to claim 3 results in a practical, extended handle for the exchange or assessment of the stamp pad.

However, the object can also be achieved by the features of claim 4.

It is advantageous with this solution that the stamp pad or its carrying device is no longer only fixed in the working position for inking or re-inking the printing plate carrier. is held or positioned, but is also stop-limited and / or held in position via the movement path for removal. As a result, when replacing or re-soaking the stamp pad, the operator can safely grasp the stamp pad or its support device after it has already been moved over part of the length of the guideway and protrudes from the lower part of the housing Contamination occurs or the risk of contamination is minimized. If the first fixing or holding device is inadvertently unlocked to secure the working position of the stamp pad or its carrying device, inadvertent and unforeseen falling out of the stamp pad or its carrying device is avoided.

Advantageous further developments and detailed configurations are described in claims 5 to 13. The advantages and effects that can be achieved in this way can be found in the description of the figures.

In the development according to claim 14, it is advantageous that the carrying device for the stamp pad does not have to be gripped directly in order to be able to carry out a visual check or to replace it.

A fully functional, yet inexpensive movement connection between the carrying device and the handle is proposed in claim 15.

Through the development according to claim 16, the stamp pad can be additionally secured or even locked in a simple manner against inadvertent pushing out or falling out of the receiving shaft.

A stamp designed according to the invention is characterized in claim 17.

An independent solution to the problem of the invention is specified in claim 18.

It is advantageous in this embodiment that the stamp pad or its support device, which is often also contaminated with stamp ink, does not have to be directly grasped or touched by a user in order to be able to carry out a check or an exchange of the stamp pad. This mechanical manipulation aid on a stamp according to the invention can reduce the risk of contamination of the user's fingers or clothes so be significantly reduced. In addition, it can be made visually clear that this handle on the stamp serves to move or adjust the stamp pad, as a result of which the individual functions of the stamp are clarified and unskillful or erroneous handling can be largely avoided.

The configuration according to claim 19, on the one hand, enables a space-saving rest position and an optimal active or work position with regard to efficient application of force and a favorable force application zone.

An inexpensive, relatively movable connection between the carrying device and the handle, with which sufficient robustness can also be achieved, is specified in claim 20.

An additional safeguard for fixing or blocking the displaceability of the stamp pad relative to the stamp housing is specified in claim 21. As a result, even with shock-like loads, such as occur when the stamp falls to the ground, the stamp pad cannot slide out and soiling, for example the floor area, can no longer occur.

The advantageous embodiment according to claim 22 can be prevented in a simple manner that an improperly positioned handle hinders a stamping process or the tab-like handle is torn off or damaged if the upper part is suddenly pressed downward relative to the lower part.

A defined starting or rest position of the handle can be maintained with simple means by the configuration according to claim 23.

Due to the alternative embodiment according to claim 24, the actuating element of the stamp can also be pulled over the cushion holder, thereby advantageously creating a relatively large gripping surface and ergonomic operation of the

Stamp is favored.

The embodiment according to claim 25 creates an intuitive use and, if necessary, triggering the function of the handle. Inexpensive to manufacture and at the same time robust configurations of the handle or the pusher element are specified in claims 27 to 30.

The exchange or extension of a stamp pad can be made significantly easier by the possible further development according to claim 31, after the stamp plate or the pressure plate carrier does not touch the stamp pad and is therefore not blocked with respect to the receiving shaft. Damage to the stamp can thus also be prevented, since the stamp pad can be properly pushed out of the receiving shaft without being blocked by the printing plate carrier via the handle in its position at the same height as the stamp pad or its support frame.

An embodiment according to one of claims 32 to 34 is also advantageous, since the assembly or the merging of the carrying device and the receiving device can be facilitated after the latching or stop elements meet only after the carrying device has been partially pushed into the shaft and thereby during Inserting the

Carrier higher positioning tolerances can be created.

Finally, a further development according to claim 35 is advantageous, since it allows the holding force of the carrying device to be better defined in the extended position and can be kept constant over the long term.

The invention is explained in more detail below on the basis of the exemplary embodiments illustrated in the drawings.

In the introduction, it should be noted that in the differently described 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. refer to the figure described and illustrated immediately and are to be transferred to the new position in the event of a change of position. Furthermore, individual features or combinations of features from the different exemplary embodiments shown and described can also represent independent, inventive or inventive solutions.

1 to 3, a stamp 1 designed according to the invention is illustrated in a simplified, schematic representation.

This stamp 1 is designed as a so-called self-inking stamp, in which the stamp surface is automatically impregnated with printer or stamp ink, preferably ink. For this purpose, a stamp pad 4 is arranged in the stamp 1, which essentially consists of an upper part 2 and a lower part 3. This stamp pad 4 has sponge-like properties, so that it is able to store a specific supply of stamp ink or ink and to release it in the long term. In order to be able to change the properties or the quality of the stamp print that can be produced with the stamp 1, the stamp pad 4 is held interchangeably in the stamp 1. The stamp pad 4 is preferably received in an upside-down, "upside down", frame-like or box-like carrying device 5 and, if necessary, interchangeably held in the lower part 3 of the stamp 1 via the comparatively stable carrying device 5. In the manner of a receiving or holding element - Mentes for the stamp pad 4 trained support device 5 is on the underside limited by the ink-soaked ink pad 4. The arrangement and alignment of the stamp pad 4 and an adjustment mechanism in the stamp 1 is chosen such that an alternating contact with a stamp plate 7 that is relatively adjustable relative to the lower part 3 with the characters or graphics to be stamped and a color transfer to the surface to be stamped is made possible. This stamp plate 7 can consist of a swiveling and adjustable printing plate support 8 within the stamp 1 and of a printing plate having the desired graphic or the desired characters - not shown -. Alternatively, it is also possible to mount exchangeable or different stamp graphics or character sets on the printing plate carrier 8 as required. Of course, it is also possible to provide the stamp plate 7 directly with the desired characters, texts or graphics and to make the stamp imprint unchangeable.

The upper part 2 can be formed by a hood-like actuating element 9 which is connected to the lower part 3 and in particular comprises the upper edge region of the lower part 3. The upper part 2 and the lower part 3 are telescopically adjustable to one another via a guide arrangement 10, 11. With such a relative adjustment of the upper part 2 with respect to the lower part 3 by depressing the actuating element 9, the pressure plate carrier 8 experiences both a translational movement and a rotational movement, in particular a turning movement, and is thereby directed towards a contact surface 12 of the stamp 1, which is usually caused by a sheet of paper to be stamped is moved. For this purpose, a turning and sliding mechanism 13 for the printing plate carrier 8, which is not described in more detail and is known from the prior art, is formed in the stamp 1. This turning and sliding mechanism 13 establishes a movement connection between the actuating element 9 or the upper part 3 and the pressure plate carrier 8 such that the latter starts from its position shown in FIG. 2, in which it is in contact with the stamp pad 4 , in a lower position swiveled by 180 °, in which it comes into contact with the base to be stamped, and vice versa.

The stamp 1 is actuated counter to the force of a spring 14, preferably in the form of a compression spring. This spring 14 brings about an automatic return of the stamp 1 to the rest or starting position shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, in which the stamp plate 7 or the pressure plate carrier 8 is in contact with the stamp pad 4 and a defined contact pressure on the stamp pad 4 exercises. The stamp plate 7 is thus limited in translation and limited rotation in a direction parallel to the direction of actuation - arrow 15 of the actuating element 13 via the turning and sliding mechanism 13 in the stamp 1. supply element 9 extending channel 16 in the lower part 3 adjustable. In particular, there is a compulsory movement coupling between the actuating element 9 and the stamp plate 7 or the printing plate carrier 8. This channel 16 can - in particular depending on the shape of the stamp plate 7 or the printing plate carrier 8 - square, for example rectangular or square, or but also have an oval or circular cross section.

In order to be able to carry out a simplified replacement or a subsequent wetting of the stamp pad 4, a locking device 17 is optionally provided between the upper part 2 and the lower part 3 within the guide length of the guide arrangement 10, 11. This locking device 17 allows the upper part 2 to be fixed relative to the lower part 3 in a region between the initial or rest position shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 and the active position, in which the stamp plate 7 can produce an impression on the contact surface 12. In particular, this fixing device 17 enables the printing plate carrier 8 to be fixed or temporarily locked at a defined distance from the stamp pad 4, if necessary. In this intermediate position or hold-open position, which can be taken and lifted if necessary, the pressure plate carrier 8 is not in direct contact with the stamp pad 4, so that the stamp pad 4, preferably together with the frame-like carrying device 5, is effortlessly removed from the stamp 1 or at least can be pulled out of this.

This locking device 17 at an intermediate position between the ink or ink-receiving position - FIG. 2 - and a color or ink-dispensing position of the printing plate carrier 8 can be formed by corresponding depressions 18 and elevations 19 on the lower part 3 and / or on the upper part 2 , By means of this locking device 17, which can be activated and preferably automatically deactivated, if necessary, excessively long wetting of the printing plate carrier 8 or the stamping plate 7 with stamping ink can be switched off. In particular, by continuously depressing the actuating element 9 in the actuating direction - arrow 15 - the locking device 17 can be automatically canceled. This is made possible in a simple manner by means of starting bevels or hooks on the corresponding depressions 18 and elevations 19 which can be offset with respect to one another. A possible shape for the depressions 18 and elevations 19 to achieve an automated or automatic deactivation of an activated locking device 17 is illustrated in FIG. 1. If necessary, it is also possible to provide activation and deliberate or active deactivation of the locking device 17 as required. This can prevent the actuating element 9 from being moved into the active or stamping working position unintentionally or unexpectedly. As a result, unwanted stamping or contamination of the surrounding area or of surrounding objects can no longer occur, for example, when the stamp 1 is being transported.

In this determined by the locking device 17, if necessary, ingestible locking or. Intermediate position, pulling or removing the carrying device 5 with the stamp pad 4 from the stamp 1 is made possible without any problems, since the pushing-out or pivoting movement of the stamp pad 4 together with its carrying device 5 is not impeded by the stamp plate 7 or the pressure plate carrier 8.

As can best be seen from FIG. 2, the carrying device 5 for the stamp pad 4 is preferably held interchangeably in the lower part 3. For this purpose, a shaft 20 is formed in the upper edge region of the lower part 3, in which the ink pad, in particular the carrying device 5 together with the stamp pad 4, can be exchanged or at least inserted and at least partially pulled out. This shaft 20 represents a receptacle for the essentially rectangular stamp pad 4 with the support device 5 partially surrounding it. This shaft is preferably - as illustrated in FIG. 2 - designed as an opening which extends transversely to the longitudinal direction or transversely to the actuating direction - Arrow 15 - the stamp 1 extends. This makes it possible to push out or insert the carrying device 5 with the stamp pad 4, starting from two opposite sides or wall surfaces of the stamp 1, relative to the lower part 3. In the working position shown in FIG. 2, the carrying device 5 of the stamp pad 4 is essentially flush with opposite wall surfaces 21, 22 of the lower part 3. This ensures that the telescopic relative adjustment between the upper part 2 and the lower part 3 is not impeded and, on the other hand, a secure and stable receptacle can be created in the shaft 20 of the lower part 3.

The lower part 3 of the stamp 1 thus also represents a housing-like receiving device 23, at least for the carrying device 5 of a soft-elastic stamp pad 4, the transverse shaft 20 for exchangeable receiving of the carrying device 5 being formed in the end region of the receiving device 23 facing the actuating element 9. The front end region of the hollow prismatic region opposite the shaft 20 The receiving device 23 has an opening or an opening, the cross section of which corresponds at least to the size or the cross section of the pressure plate or the stamp plate 7.

The receiving device 23 or the lower part 3 is thus hollow or frame-like and holds at least the support device 5 for the ink pad 4. Preferably, the receiving device 23 also serves to guide the stamp plate 7 or the printing plate carrier 8 within the frame-like or in the form of a Hollow prism or chute formed receiving device 23. Vertical guides 24 for stub axles 25 of the pressure plate carrier 8 are preferably in the region of opposite narrow sides 26, 27 of the

Stamp 1 or the lower part 3 or the corresponding receiving device 23 arranged.

In the case of a generic self-inking stamp in the previously described or in a corresponding, equivalent embodiment, the invention provides that the ink pad, in particular the carrying device 5 with the ink pad 4 accommodated therein, does not fall out of the shaft 20 in an uncontrolled manner when the working or use position of the ink pad 4 is left - for example in order to replace or refill the ink pad 4 alone or together with the carrying device 5. This prevents contamination of the operator or peripheral objects. On the one hand, this can be achieved in that in the shaft 20 for the exchangeable or at least relatively adjustable accommodation of the carrying device 5 for the stamp pad 4, at least two latching or stop elements 29 spaced apart in the direction of extension or insertion - according to arrow 28 - of the stamp pad 4 , 30 are formed on the receiving device 23 in the area around the shaft 20 or in the shaft 20 and / or on the support device 5 of the stamp pad 4, which have a first and at least a second holding device 31, 32 for the

Form stamp pad 4 relative to shaft 20 or stamp 1 or opposite receiving device 23. It is thereby achieved that the carrying device 5 with the ink-soaked stamp pad 4 is held in at least two different positions or held in one position, in particular in a use or working position 33, and in its free extension movement in at least one further position from the Shaft 20 is limited, this end position or stop limitation can preferably be lifted or overcome if necessary, so that the ink pad 4 together with the carrying device 5 can be completely removed from the stamp 1 or the receiving device 23. The first position, which is secured via the latching or stop elements 29 of the first holding device 31, is defined by a use or working or use position 33, as can be seen in FIG. 2. The further position distanced from this is defined by an exchange or maintenance position 34, in which the carrying device 5 projects from the lower part 3 or the receiving device 23, but by means of at least one

Locking or stop element 29 or 30 is prevented from falling out of the shaft 20 in an uncontrolled manner. Only by additional and, above all, deliberate application of an increased removal force by the operator of the stamp 1 to the carrying device 5 can the holding or positioning force of the further or second locking or stop element 30, which is distanced from the first locking or stop element 29, be overcome and the carrying device

5 together with the stamp pad 4 can be completely removed from stamp 1. The stamp pad 4 can either be soaked with the appropriate ink in the extended replacement or maintenance position 34 and brought back into the working or use position 33 by the operator exerting appropriate pressure on the carrying device 5. It is also possible to replace a used stamp pad 4 together with the carrying device 5 by inserting a carrying device 5 with a new stamp pad 4.

In the replacement or maintenance position 34, a portion of the carrying device 5 protrudes at least so far from the receiving device 23 or from the lower part 3 of the stamp 1 that the carrying device 5 can be gripped safely by the operator without the risk of slipping or one to be exposed to direct contact with the ink-soaked stamp pad 4.

The latching or stop elements 29, 30 which are spaced apart from one another in the direction of extension or insertion - arrow 28 - along the shaft 20 can be of identical design and can be arranged mirror-symmetrically to a transverse plane 35 of the shaft 20. It is thereby achieved that, starting from any wall surface 21 or 22, the carrying device 5 can be pressed out at least in a limited manner in the direction of the opposite wall surface 22 or 21. The latching or stop elements 29, 30 which are spaced apart from one another in the guiding or pushing-out direction of the carrying device 5 are preferably identical, but can of course also be constructed differently in order to fix the carrying device 5 or the stamp pad 4 in the working or use position 33, as well as in a removal or replacement or maintenance position 34 distancing it. In the exemplary embodiment shown, the latching or stop elements 29, 30 spaced apart from one another are formed by projections 36 which protrude from at least one inner boundary surface of the shaft 20. Of course, it is also possible to provide projections 36 of this type, which form locking lugs for the secure positioning of the carrying device 5, near or directly at the front end regions of the shaft 20, and in doing so to form the projections 36 in the manner of locking lips which extend in the direction of the longitudinal central axis of the shaft 20 project.

The spaced-apart latching or stop elements 29, 30 or holding devices 31, 32 can also be formed on the support device 5 for the stamp pad 4 instead of being arranged on inner boundary surfaces of the shaft 20. It is also possible for the spaced-apart latching or stop elements 29, 30 to accomplish the resiliently secured working or use position 33 and replacement or maintenance position 32, both in the inner region or in the end regions of the shaft 20, and on one of the surfaces to train the support device 5. You can do this in

Inside and / or in the front end areas of the shaft 20 and on correspondingly assigned surface areas of the support device 5 mutually corresponding projections 36 and the depressions 37 may be formed. These quasi double-sided projections 36 and depressions 37 can bring about an improved latching or positioning effect for the carrying device 5 with the ink pad 4 with respect to the receiving device 23 or with respect to its shaft 20.

Especially if the carrying device 5 with the stamp pad 4 can only be inserted or pulled out of the shaft 20 from one side or wall surface 21 or 22, it is sufficient to have only one locking recess or only one locking projection on the carrying device 5 or in the shaft 20 to be arranged, which cooperates with two spaced-apart locking or stop elements 29, 30 in the form of projections 36 and / or depressions 37.

Between the individual predefined positions of the stamp pad 4, in particular between the working or use position 33 and the replacement or maintenance position 34, the carrying device 5 with the stamp pad 4 can also be freely adjustable relative to the shaft 20. Instead of forming own locking or stop elements 30 in the replacement or maintenance position 34, it is of course also possible within the scope of the invention, only one that can be overcome by additional force if required Stop limitation. This limit stop is designed such that the carrying device 5 together with the stamp pad 4 is prevented from falling out of the shaft 20 automatically when the carrying device 5 has been pressed out of the working or use position 33. Subsequently, the carrying device 5 with the ink pad 4 can slide freely in a section between the working or use position 33 and the exchange or maintenance position 34. Completely falling out of the carrying device 5 is prevented by the additional latching or stop element 30 or the further holding device 32 in an end region of the shaft 20 or in an end region of the carrying device 5.

At least one of the latching or stop elements 29, 30 is designed in such a way that a type of latching coupling is formed which can build up such a holding force that the carrying device 5 can be held in position at least in the working or use position 33 and by applying a compressive force , for example via a finger of the user or via a separate actuating element, can be moved relative to the shaft 20 and transferred to the replacement or maintenance position 34. The resilient and resilient movement of the locking or stop elements 29, 30 can be implemented by the elastic properties of the projections 36 or recesses 37 themselves or by resilient and resilient projections 36 or recesses 37, for example on resiliently mounted tongues become.

4 shows another embodiment and arrangement of a receiving device 23 or a lower part 3 for a stamp designed according to the invention with holding devices 31, 32 or locking or stop elements 29, 30 spaced apart from one another on a carrying device 5 of a stamp pad 4 and / or on or in a shaft 20 for the interchangeable, if necessary, receptacle of, for example, a cuboid supporting device 5. For the sake of simplicity, only the lower part 3 or the receiving device 23 of a stamp designed according to the invention has been shown.

In this case, two latching or stop elements 29, 30, which are designed as depressions 37 and are spaced apart from one another in the direction of extension or insertion, according to arrow 28, are formed in the end regions or lateral wall regions of the cuboid support body 5. These locking or stop elements 29 and 30 are in the inserted position or in the working position of the carrying device 5 with corresponding locking or stop elements 29 and 30 in a form-fitting manner by applying correspondingly high pressure. Forces detachable connection if necessary. Here, latching or stop elements 29, 30 designed in the manner of latching lugs are provided on the lateral boundary surfaces of the shaft 20, and the opposite latching depressions are formed on the front, opposite end regions of the carrying device 5. Of course, the reverse or inverse arrangement of the locking depressions or locking projections is also possible.

It is also conceivable to provide only a latching or stop element 29 or 30 either on the carrying device 5 or in or around the shaft 20, which depending on the taking of the replacement or maintenance position either with one of the two spaced-apart latching positions. or stop elements 29, 30 is connected.

The decoupling or release of the locking connection between a projection 36 and a recess 37 or any other coupling device can be done on the one hand by the elastic resilience of the material of the locking or stop elements 29, 30 itself, in particular by its elasticity or also by relative to the receiving device 23 or latching or stop elements 29, 30 which are adjustably mounted relative to the supporting body 5 can be achieved. For the relative adjustment of a locking or stop element 29, 30, in particular a wart-like elevation or a projection 36, it is conceivable to provide slot-shaped openings in the circumferential area in the plastic material, which provide a resilient mounting of the projections 36 in the transverse direction to the extension or Direction of insertion - according to arrow 28

- Allow the support device 5. The projections 36 are thus arranged on spring-mounted latching or holding tongues for the carrying device 5. It is also possible to dimension the wall areas on which the projections 36 or depressions 37 are arranged in an elastically resilient manner and thus to achieve a specific pretension for an optionally activatable and deactivatable latching.

In the embodiment shown, it is advantageous that the carrying device 5 with the ink pad 4 can be inserted into the shaft 20 from both sides or wall surfaces 21, 22 or pulled out of the shaft if necessary. The carrying device 5 with the stamp pad 4 is therefore accessible from both sides of the stamp. On the one hand, this is achieved in that the shaft 20 is designed as an opening with a cross section which is essentially constant over the length or depth of the shaft 20.

5 shows another embodiment for establishing a snap or snap connection and for limiting the end stop of a carrying device 5 with respect to a receiving shaft in FIG illustrated by a stamp. In this case, a latching or stop element 29 is arranged on opposite side walls of the carrying device 5 for the stamp pad, which position the carrying device 5 in the working position and secure it with a certain holding force in the corresponding receiving shaft. These locking or stop elements 29 are arranged in the central region of the side walls or end faces of the hood-like support device 5. In a distant end or edge area of this side or End walls of the carrying device 5 are each formed as a locking or stop element 30 designed as an end limit stop. This latching or stop element 30 prevents the carrier device 5 with the stamp pad 4 from completely slipping out of the associated receiving shaft. Only by applying a sufficiently high removal or tensile force can the carrying device 5 then preferably also be completely removed from the stamp or the respective lower part.

Here, in particular, a special design of the outer, lateral wall surfaces of the cushion holder or the carrying device 5 means that the carrying device 5 is fixed or positioned at least in the working position of the stamp pad 4. By pressure on the front of the carrying device 5 or the cushion holder, the latter can be forced to move over locking lugs formed on the housing or insertion slot. This uncoupling or coupling process can be facilitated or favored by inclined surfaces on the catch tabs or catch recesses. Mutually assigned latching lugs and latching recesses on the carrying device 5 or within the receiving shaft are preferably in elastic pre-tension to one another in order to achieve positioning and mounting that is as free of play and secure as possible. The complete falling out of the carrying device 5 with the stamp pad is in any case prevented by the fact that in at least one end region of at least one side wall a step-like locking or stop element 30 is formed.

In order to achieve the greatest possible freedom of movement of the carrying device 5 in a section between two holding devices 31, 32 that are spaced apart from one another without there being any disruptive adjustment resistance, so-called exemptions 38 or the corresponding material cutouts can be formed. Such exemptions 38 are preferably provided between two detent or stop elements 29, 30 spaced apart from one another. These exemptions 38 can be formed on the side walls of the carrying device 5 and have the effect, for example, that detents or projections 36 on an inner surface delimiting the shaft 20 do not at all or only relatively slightly with the carrying device. direction 5 in contact or frictional connection. Such exemptions 38 can also be formed in the reverse arrangement of the projections 36 and depressions 37 between the carrying device 5 and the receiving device 23 or the shaft 20.

As can also be seen from FIG. 5, several, in particular three, holding devices 31, 32 or latching or stop elements 29, 30, which are spaced apart from one another, can also be formed distributed over the direction of extension or insertion - according to arrow 28. In particular, two latching or stop elements 30 which act as an end stop are each formed in the corner or edge regions of the carrying device 5. In the middle between the two

Locking or stop elements 30, the further locking or stop element 29 is arranged, which secures the support device 5 in its working or use position 33 or holds it in position. Thus, in this embodiment there are basically two replacement or maintenance positions 34 and a defined working or use position 33 for the carrying device 5 and the stamp pad 4.

The carrying device 5 is preferably designed symmetrically to its longitudinal plane of symmetry 39. That the latching or stop elements 30, which act as end stops and are arranged in the edge or corner regions of the cuboid supporting device 5, are placed at the same distance from the centrally arranged latching or stop element 29, which defines the working or use position 33 of the supporting device 5 ,

Alternative arrangements and / or placements of the latching or stop elements 29, 30 or the corresponding holding devices 31, 32 to ensure a defined working position and to ensure that the carrying device 5 is not unimpeded after leaving the secured working or use position 33 can fall out of the receiving shaft are within the scope of the professional ability. In particular, a number of modifications are possible without leaving the scope of the invention.

FIGS. 6 to 8 illustrate a possibly independent design according to the invention or an optional, advantageous further development of the stamp 1 described above.

The structure of this stamp 1 essentially corresponds to the previous description and thus the same reference numerals are used for the same parts. Before- Descriptive descriptions are therefore analogously applicable to the same parts with the same reference numerals.

In particular, this embodiment also provides a lower part 3 to be placed on the base to be stamped, the upper edge area of which is at least partially surrounded by a cap-like or hood-like upper part 2. The upper part 2, which at the same time forms or comprises the actuating element 9 for the stamp 1, can be adjusted relative to the lower part 3 against the force of the spring 14. When the upper part 2 and the lower part 3 are telescopically pushed into one another, the printing plate carrier 8 is moved by the ink pad 4 in the direction of the base and the desired stamping of the base plate is produced.

Here, too, the inherently soft, elastic ink pad 4 is held in a relatively dimensionally stable support device 5. The carrying device 5 with the ink-soaked stamp pad 4 accommodated therein can be inserted into the correspondingly dimensioned shaft 20 of the stamp 1 and, if required, can be replaced or re-soaked by a user, for example for maintenance purposes. The carrying device 5 with the stamp pad 4 is at least partially pulled out of the shaft 20 in order to make the stamp pad 4 accessible.

In order to facilitate the handling of the stamp 1 for control or exchange purposes, at least one adjustably mounted handle 40 is formed on the carrying device 5 for the stamp pad 4.

According to a preferred embodiment, this handle 40 is designed in the manner of a tab 41, which is articulated to the carrying device 5 and can be adjusted or pivoted between a rest position - FIG. 7 - and a working position - FIG. 6 or FIG. 8 can. The preferably pivotable or articulated connection between the handle 40 and the frame-like support device 5 for the stamp pad 4 is preferably implemented by means of a so-called film hinge 42. Such a film hinge 42 is realized by a relatively thin-walled material transition from the tab 41 or the appropriate handle 40 to the actual carrying device 5. The handle 40 is connected in one piece to the carrying device 5 and this one-piece configuration with the film hinge 42 in between is preferably produced by an injection molding process. If necessary, the plastic from which the carrying device 5 and the handle 40 are formed is compressed in the area of the film hinge 42 by to achieve a high strength of the film hinge 42 and a connection as stable as possible between the tab-like handle 40 and the carrying device 5.

The handle 40 is preferably to be folded up according to arrow 43 in order to be able to transfer the handle 40 from the rest position into the working or active position. It is advantageous here that an incorrectly positioned handle 40 cannot hinder a stamping operation, since a handle 40 located in the active or working position is forcibly pivoted into the rest position or closer to the rest position by depressing the upper part 2. It is also expedient to design the handle 40 or tab 41 in the lower edge or edge region of the cuboidal support device 5.

Optionally, the tab-like handle 40 is secured in its rest position - FIG. 7 - by a locking or fixing device, not shown in detail. As can best be seen from FIG. 6, a recessed grip 44 can also be formed in the lower part 3, which grips the tab 41 or transfers it from the rest position into the active or

Working position easier.

In the active or working position of the handle 40 - FIG. 6 - pulling out the carrying device 5 together with the stamp pad 4 is made easier, since there is a larger contact or holding surface and the force can be optimally applied. This

Handle 40 is provided as a pulling or pulling member for the carrying device 5 opposite the shaft 20 or the receiving device 23. Of course, it is also possible to press the stamp pad 4 or the carrying device 5 out of the stamp via this handle 40 and thus use the handle 40 as a pushing element.

It is advantageous to fix the tab 41 or the corresponding handle 40 after its use by means of fixing or locking devices (not shown in more detail) in the rest position or in the recessed grip 44 and thus to prevent an unwanted pivoting or adjustment thereof.

Instead of forming a tab 41 that can be pivoted about a horizontal axis, it is of course also possible to mount the handle 40 so that it can be pivoted about a vertically oriented axis. A film hinge 42 is preferably always formed in order to achieve cost-effective production of the carrying device 5 or the stamp pad 4. As an alternative to forming a handle 40, it is also conceivable to form recessed grips or pull slots in the wall regions of the carrying device 5. Under certain circumstances, however, the space available for the ink pad 4 is thereby somewhat reduced and, furthermore, the handling is worse compared to a handle 40 which can be swung out or folded out. The formation of at least one handle 40 or tab 41 molded onto the carrying device 5 is particularly advantageous in terms of handling for a change or a check of the stamp pad 4. The connection of the handle 40 to the carrying device 5 via the film hinge 42 enables inexpensive production and relatively problem-free production.

In the embodiment according to FIGS. 6 to 8, the lower edge of the upper part 2 or the actuating element 9 in the area of the front and rear of the stamp 1 is set back or recessed in order to insert or remove the carrying device 5 relative to the shaft 20 enable when the stamp 1 is in the rest position shown in FIGS. 6 to 8. In the area of the narrow sides 26, 27 of the stamp 1, on the other hand, the upper part 2 or the actuating element 9 extends to below the lower edge of the shaft 20. This provides the largest possible gripping surface and creates the basis for ergonomic operation of the stamp 1. These recesses 45 or incisions in the lower edge region of the upper part 2 or of the actuating element 9 are dimensioned such that the carrying device 5 can be inserted into or removed from the shaft 20 without any problems when the stamp 1 assumes or is in the initial or rest position by means of the locking device 17 in the maintenance or locking position defined for changing the pillow.

9 and 10 show a further, possibly independent, embodiment according to the invention to facilitate the change or the control of a used stamp pad 4. In contrast to the previously described tab solution, which can primarily be used as a traction device, a push-out solution for the stamp pad 4 together with the carrying device 5 from a corresponding receiving shaft of the stamp 20 is proposed.

The basic structure of the stamp 1 corresponds to the structure already described above, so that the previous descriptions can be applied analogously to the same parts with the same reference numerals. Here, the upper part 2 or the actuating element 9 or another element of the upper part 3, such as a transparent window, a text window, a rubberized grip area 46 or the like, is on the front side 47 of the stamp 1 via the carrying device 5 or the stamp pad 4 drawn so that it is at least partially covered or covered by the upper part 2. In particular, a lower edge of the hood-like or cap-like upper part is sufficient

2 or actuating element 9 to below the underside 6 of the stamp pad 4 or its support device 5. The upper part 2 or the actuating element 9 for the stamp 1 thus extends relatively far in the direction of the contact surface 12 of the stamp 1, so that a relatively large area ergonomically designed handle area or actuation area can thus be achieved. On the back 48 of the stamp 1, in turn, a recess 45 or a corresponding cut in the cap-like upper part 2 is formed in order to be able to remove the stamp pad 4 from the shaft 20 if necessary, without being hindered by the cap-like upper part 2.

On the front side 47 of the stamp 1, in particular in the cap-like upper part 2 of the stamp

1, a handle 40 designed as a pusher element 49 for pushing out or pushing out the carrying device 5 is formed on its front side. This pusher element 49 can be designed in the manner of an independent push button 50, which is inserted into a corresponding recess 51 of the upper part 2 or of the actuating element 9 such that the push button 50 is relatively movable relative to the surrounding edge regions of the cap-like upper part. In particular when pressure is exerted on the pusher element 49, it can be adjusted parallel to the guide path of the shaft 20 or parallel to the direction of extension - according to arrow 52 - of the carrying device 5 relative to the shaft 20. Instead of a direct force acting on the carrying device 5, an indirect force transmission, in particular pressure transmission, is implemented on the carrying device 5 for the stamp pad 4.

In order to at least be able to issue or eject the carrying device 5 from the shaft 20, the handle 40 designed as a push button 50 must be brought into overlap with the carrying device 5. For this purpose, the actuating element 9 is to be moved somewhat in the direction of the contact surface 12 and either held manually or locked via the locking device 17. By pressing the push-button element 49 or the push-button 50 from the front, the push-button element 50 is moved in the direction of the guide path in the shaft 20 and the carrying device 5 is at least slightly pressed out or ejected from the receiving device 23 or from the lower part 3. To prevent the stamp pad 4 or the carrying device 5 from sliding completely out of the shaft 20, the holding device 32 described above can be designed in the manner of latching or stop elements 30.

If the push button 50 is designed as an independent component, it is held within the recess 51, for example by means of a flexible tongue, and is adjustable relative to the depth of the recess 51 in the actuating element 9 or upper part 2.

As can be seen from FIGS. 11 and 12, the handle 40 designed as a push element 49 can be used for ejecting or slightly pushing out the stamp pad

4 can also be formed from the receiving shaft by an element formed in one piece with the upper part 3 or the actuating element 9 or a stamp cover 53. In particular, due to the elastically flexible properties of the stamp cover 53 or the corresponding upper part 2, a partial region which is intended to form the handle 40 or the push button 50 is designed to be elastically flexible and resilient. This can be accomplished, for example, by means of an arched push button 40, which is surrounded all around by a bead 54. It is advantageous that no structurally independent element is required for the handle 40 and that such a push button 50 can be efficiently manufactured during the manufacturing process, in particular during an injection molding process.

In particular if the stamp cover 53 or the cover for the stamp is made of an elastomeric plastic, this stamp cover 53 can be used with the integral push button 50 as a handle 40 for ejecting a stamp pad. At the same time, the elastomeric, for example rubber-like, grip area of the stamp favors its handling.

FIGS. 13 to 15 illustrate a possibly independent inventive embodiment to enable an improved checking or replacement process of the stamp pad 4 of a stamp 1 or relative to the receiving device 23 for the carrying device 5 of a stamp pad 4.

Here, the carrying device 5 is fastened to a component 55, in particular to a wall part 56 of the stamp 1 or the receiving device 23. This attachment can either be detachable, for example by means of the schematically indicated coupling device 57, or it can also be non-detachable through an integral design of the carrying device 5 and the Wall part 56 may be executed.

The respective component 55 of the stamp 1 takes up relatively extensive areas of the outer surfaces of the stamp 1 in comparison to the side surfaces of the essentially cuboid supporting device 5. In particular, the component 55 or the wall part 56 is intended to represent a relatively extensive, easy and safe to use handle 40 for simplified manipulation of the stamp 1 when the stamp pad 4 is pulled out or inserted relative to the shaft 20. The component 55 or wall part 56 thus represents, as it were, an extended handle 40 for the carrying device 5 or the stamp pad 4.

The component 55 can preferably be coupled or connected to the receiving device 23 via guide and / or fixing elements 58 and detachable therefrom if necessary. These guide and / or fixing elements 58 can be formed by any latching or snap connections on the component 55 known from the prior art and thus corresponding or opposite connecting elements on the receiving device 23 or on the stamp housing.

As an alternative or in combination, it is also possible, on the basis of the previously described, interlocking interlocking holding devices 31, 32 - see, for example, FIGS. 1 to 3 - on the carrying device 5 and on the stamp housing, the desired positioning and holding of the carrying device 5 together with the To achieve component 55 relative to the receiving frame 23. The component 55 of the stamp 1 or the receiving device 23 connected to the carrying device 5 can, for example, represent one of the outer wall surfaces 21 of the receiving device 23 or the stamp 1 according to the invention. If necessary, the component 55 can also comprise a so-called mounting frame 59, with which the stamp 1 is placed on the base to be stamped.

The component 55 preferably projects essentially at right angles to the underside 6 of the block-shaped support device 5 or of the block-shaped stamp pad 4. This component 55 is essentially flush with one of the side faces of the approximately cuboid support device 5, so that a stamp component which is essentially L-shaped in cross section results.

In addition, in this embodiment, the previously described locking or stop elements 29, 30 - see FIGS. 1 to 3 - for secure positioning or end limitation of the displacement movement of the carrying device 5 together with the component 55 can be used with respect to the receiving device 23.

One advantage of this embodiment is that the stamp pad 4 or its carrying device 5 does not have to be gripped by the operator in the immediate vicinity, but rather a type of extended handle 40 which is inherently rigid or fixed to the carrying device 5 and can be gripped safely is present, with which the risk of contamination of the fingers or clothes of the operator when tampering with the ink pad 4 can be reduced. It is also possible to achieve better graspability of the relatively small stamp pads 4 in some cases, and thus a safe grip even with relatively clumsy handling

To remove or effortlessly insert the stamp pad 4 into the receiving device 23.

By designing a coupling device 57, when the stamp pad 4 is to be replaced, it is optionally possible to either carry the carrying device 5 together with the

To replace the ink pad 4 and the component 55 or only to dispose of the carrying device 5 including the ink pad 4. The latter is particularly recommended if the component 55 is relatively large and cost-intensive. For such cases, the coupling device 57 is formed between the support device 5 and the component 55, which can preferably be designed in the manner of a tool-free, latching or positive connection between these parts, as can be seen above all from FIGS. 14, 15. For example, this coupling device 57 can be implemented in the manner of a dovetail connection.

A somewhat different embodiment of the embodiment according to FIG. 5 is illustrated in FIG. 16.

In this case, the first latching or stop element 29 of the holding device 31 for securing the position of the support device 5 receiving a stamp pad 4 in the working or use position 33 is arranged approximately in the middle section of an entire guide length 60 of the shaft 20. Ie the latching or stop elements 29 are placed approximately in the central region of the total depth of the shaft 20. Two latching or stop elements 29 are preferably formed on opposite, lateral inner surfaces 61, 62 of the shaft 20. The spaced-apart, further holding device 32, in particular its locking or stop elements 30, are arranged on the upper inner surface 63, ie on the upper boundary surface of the shaft 20, and are provided in at least one end region 64, 65 of the shaft 20. These latching or stop elements 30 for defining the exchange or maintenance position 34 for the carrying device 5 are preferably formed by wart-like projections 36 which protrude into the shaft 20 provided for receiving the carrying device 5. With respect to the entire guide length 60 of the shaft 20, the further latching or stop elements 30 are spaced apart from the first or central latching or stop elements 29 by a distance 66, which corresponds approximately to half the guide length 60.

These further, wart-shaped latching or stop elements 30 protrude into at least one, preferably in two guide grooves 67 formed on an upper side 68 of the carrying device 5. These groove-like guiding grooves 67 extend over the entire depth of the carrying device 5, which is approximately the guide length 60 of the shaft 20 corresponds. Approximately in the middle region of these guide grooves 67 there is at least one wart-shaped elevation 69, which, in cooperation with the latching or stop elements 30 on the receiving device 23, provides a limit stop for the carrying device 5 during the adjustment from the working or use position 33 to the opposite position Receiving device 23 or the shaft 20 projecting replacement or maintenance position 34.

That in this embodiment, the latching or stop elements 29 and 30 of the box-like or hood-like carrying device 5 for the stamp pad 4 are placed in the longitudinal plane of symmetry 39 of the carrying device 5. Instead of the arrangement in pairs, it is of course also possible to provide only one detent or stop element 29, 30 or to form a plurality of corresponding detent or stop elements 29, 30. In addition, it is also conceivable to move the latching or stop elements 29 placed on the lateral inner surfaces 61, 62 of the shaft 20 to the upper inner surface 63 of the shaft 20.

With the described embodiment it is achieved that the carrying device 5 is held with the stamp pad 4 exactly and reliably in the working or use position 33 and thereby the carrying device 5 is largely flush with the outer surfaces of the receiving device 23. For a change or maintenance of the stamp pad 5, single Lich enough high pressure to exert on an exposed side surface of the support device 5 so that it emerges by about half the guide length 60 or about the distance 66 from the receiving device 23 or its shaft 20. In this partially extended position of the carrying device 5 with respect to the receiving device 23, the carrying device 5 is then secured against complete or unwanted or improper falling out of the shaft 20 by the further holding device 32 being active with the latching or stop elements 30. In this partially extended position, which is however secured against falling out completely, the carrying device 5 can then be securely gripped without touching the ink pad 4. Only by applying a defined removal force, for example by deliberate, manual pulling or pressing on the carrying device 5, can the carrying device 5 together with the ink-soaked ink pad 4 be completely and safely removed from the receiving device 23.

In this embodiment, too, a complete or surprising falling out of the stamp pad 4 is prevented if, for example, is accidentally or carelessly acted on a support device 5 inserted in the shaft 20. This embodiment can thus advantageously prevent the ink pad 4 from overcoming the holding device 31 to secure the working or use position 33 immediately or entirely from the shaft 20, thereby on the floor, on the table or falls on clothing and causes stubborn dirt.

The support device 5 for a stamp pad 4 provided with stamping ink can, as shown schematically, be cuboid. Above all, depending on the stamp imprint to be generated, the carrier device 5 or the stamp pad 4 and / or the receiving device 23 can also have round or polygonal, for example circular, elliptical, triangular, polygonal, or composite contour contours in plan view.

For the sake of order, it should finally be pointed out that, for a better understanding of the structure of the receiving device 23 or the stamp 1, its components have been partially shown to scale and / or enlarged and / or reduced.

The object on which the independent inventive solutions are based can be found in the description. Nor can the individual in Figures 1 to 3; 4; 5; 6 to 8; 9 to 12; 13 to 15; 16 shown designs form the subject of independent, inventive solutions.
