Description

The invention relates to a stamp according to the preamble of claim 1.

There are already different stamps with replaceable ink pad or exchangeable support devices for ink pads known. Such a so-called self-inking stamp is in the WO 01/83227 the applicant described. This self-inking stamp with an embossing coloring comprises a lower part which can be placed on the surface to be stamped and a turning mechanism arranged therein, for a printing plate carrier which can be moved back and forth between a color pad and a support frame, with simultaneous turning. This pressure plate carrier is for this purpose with a movable relative to the restoring force of a spring relative to the lower part actuating upper part surrounding the lower part, with the side parts of the actuating upper part by a guided in elongated holes of the lower part turning axis of the pressure plate carrier. The actuating upper part also has a pivotable hood part, which in its closed position conceals the ink cushion shaft in the lower part. By pivoting this hood part of the ink bag tray of the lower part of the punch is accessible to replace the ink pad.

A disadvantage of the known punches with interchangeable ink or ink pad is usually that for removing and reinserting an exchanged ink pad a series of manipulations of the stamp or its parts is required, which make the exchange process seem overly complicated many users.

From the AT 503 827 B1 is a stamp with a first housing part, with a respect to the first housing part pivotally mounted second housing part and with a stamp plate known. The stamp plate is pivotable about an axis located in a first end portion of the first housing part from a rest position to a functional position, wherein the stamp plate is in the rest position between the first housing part and the second housing part. In the functional position, the first housing part, the second housing part and the stamp plate form in about a triangle. The second housing part comprises a guide track which is in engagement with the stamp plate. On the stamp plate is arranged with an actuating element in Engriff or bringable Steuerkulissenbahn arranged. Furthermore, an ink pad is arranged in the first housing part, wherein in the rest position, the stamp plate rests on the ink pad for receiving ink or pressed by squeezing the first and second housing part, the intermediate stamp plate for receiving ink to the ink pad. To remove the ink pad, a recess is arranged on the first housing part on the upper side, so that actuation of the ink pad is possible and this can be pulled out of the housing part. Furthermore, means, in particular latching elements, for fixing the stamp pad in the first housing part are arranged on the ink pad, so that falling out of the ink pad is prevented.

Furthermore, from the prior art, a stamp with the name "Mobile Printy" the applicant is known, which is approximately the structure of AT 503 827 B1 equivalent. In "Mobile Printy", for example, the removal of the stamp pad has been improved. For this purpose, gripping elements with latching elements arranged thereon were provided on the pad on the side surfaces. The grip elements are thereby inserted into recesses provided for this purpose on the side surfaces of the first housing part, wherein the locking elements engage in the interior of the housing part in a projection. In order not to position the ink pad inverted in the first housing part, the handle elements and the recesses were shaped accordingly, for which purpose one side of the handle member and corresponding recess were formed semicircular, so that the ink pad can be fully inserted only in one direction in the first housing part , So that the ink pad can be removed, this is easily pressed together on the side handle elements, whereby the locking elements move each other and release the latch, so that the ink pad can be removed from the first housing part by gently pulling.

With such a construction, the ink pad is inserted on the longitudinal side over the end face, so that the grip elements are arranged on the longitudinal surfaces of the stamp pad. In order to achieve a better actuation of the latching elements arranged on the gripping elements, the gripping elements protrude laterally beyond the side surfaces of the plunger, whereby the gripping elements can simply be pressed together and thus the latching in the interior of the plunger is released.

Furthermore, is from the EP 0 873 245 B1 a manual punch holder having an outer case, a punch-carrying body slidably mounted in the outer case and having a lower peripheral edge, and at least one spring which ejects the punch-carrying body from the outer case; wherein a cover having a receiving surface to abut against the lower peripheral edge of the punch-carrying body, a resilient tongue provided on the cover or on the outer case, and a locking member provided on the outer case or the cover wherein the tongue and the locking member engage with each other when the punch-carrying body is pushed back against the spring load force and after locking hold the punch-carrying body in its retracted position.

The disadvantage here is that in such a holder on the outer surface of the upper part of a visible locking member or tongue must be arranged, whereby the appearance of the punch is impaired. At the same time, such a projection or edge also represents a corresponding risk of injury.

Furthermore are from the WO 2005/084953 A2 and the EP 1 507 666 A1 Ink pad for use in a self-inking stamp known in which means are arranged in the form of elevations and grooves on the side surfaces. The disadvantage here is that in only one plane of force, namely horizontally, a fixation is possible and thus is not guaranteed that in a rest position of the punch is always a pressure plate of the punch on the pillow, as this vertical can be moved.

From the documents AT 503 827 A1 . DE 20 2004 010164 U1 . US Pat. No. 6,945,172 B1 , US 5 743 186 A and DE 20 2006 00147 U1 are differently constructed stamp known in which first the ink pad must be partially pushed out of the stamp in a variety of ways before a safe and clean handle for removing the ink pad is possible.

Furthermore, stamps with transport locks or locking element of the WO 01/83228 and US 2004/250719 A1 known.

It is therefore the object of the invention to provide a stamp with replaceable ink pad, in which the replacement of the ink pad requires less handling steps by the user and the ease of use is increased to replace an ink pad and the risk of contamination is greatly reduced. Another object of the invention is to provide an ink pad in which downward compatibility, ie, use of the ink pad in older dies, is ensured. Another object of the invention is to ensure a safe transport of the stamp.

These objects of the invention are achieved by a stamp, wherein in the starting position, a lower edge of the upper part extends below the opening in the lower part, and that the upper part has an opening associated with the window, wherein in the starting position, the window relative to the opening in the lower part in a position higher than the opening, so that the opening is at least partially hidden, and that the window in the upper part extends over an entire width of a front wall of the upper part and continues in side walls of the upper part over a depth and thus provides an exemption for access to handles or gripping elements of the stamp pad.

In particular, the objects are achieved in that the upper part surrounds the lower part like a cap, wherein in the starting position, a lower edge of the upper part extends below the opening in the lower part, and that the upper part has a window associated with the opening, wherein in the starting position, the window relative to the opening in the base in a position higher than the opening so that the opening is at least partially hidden, and that the window in the top extends over an entire width of a front wall of the top and in sidewalls of the top continues over a depth and thus provides an exemption for access to handles or grip elements of the ink pad. By this design, the support device is partially covered by a portion of the front wall of the upper part and thus reliably held in position. Thus, in the rest position of the punch unintentional removal or falling out of the support device is prevented.

In order to hold the upper part in that position which is required for changing the carrying device, a development is advantageous, according to which a lock on the upper part and a stop on the lower part is arranged, wherein the lock with the stop for fixing the window in a position oriented relative to the opening can be engaged. The shell becomes depressed by the required distance and then activates the lock, whereby the upper part remains in this position. After completion of the replacement process, the lock is released and the upper part returns to its rest position.

Furthermore, a development may consist in that the handles have an extension parallel to the insertion direction, which corresponds to a depth of the opening in the lower part.

A development according to the mutually facing sides of the two handles on narrow sides of the carrying device are connected by snap-in connections with the carrying device has the advantage that the clip can be subsequently attached to a universal support device in order to assemble this for a specific stamp. In particular, a latching connection allows an arrangement of the clamp on the support device without the need for additional connecting means would be required. This is also advantageous because the clip can also be removed from the support device.

A further development of the clip is further characterized in that on tooth sides facing the two handles a tooth profile and on the shorter narrow sides of the carrying device to the tooth profiles complementary tooth profiles are formed. Thus, a positive connection of the clamp and support device is guaranteed. In particular, there is also good force transfer from the handles to the support device upon removal from the stamper, thus preventing the risk of involuntary disengagement of the clamp, with arbitrary release of the clamp still being possible.

Another development is that the carrying device is formed on its short narrow sides with integrally molded handles.

To strengthen the connection seat between the support device and the bracket is a development of advantage, according to which the two handles in the direction of the adjacent long narrow side of the support device having a guide profile which engages in a complementarily shaped guide profile of the support device. Through this development, an attachment of the handles over two adjoining narrow sides is achieved, which is for a reliable hold of advantage. In particular, such a development is advantageous in that a clip can also be fastened to the carrying device in which the web connecting the two handles is not present or has too little mechanical stability, To connect the handles sufficiently stable only by fixing to or on the tooth profiles with the support device.

According to a development, the edge between the bottom and a short narrow side of the support device is formed as a chamfer, which has the advantage that an improper insertion of the support device is impossible by a correspondingly complementary trained chamfer of the receiving device or the tray. In particular with regard to multi-colored ink pads this has the further particular advantage that it can thus be ensured that the correct color assignment is also given to the stamp plate. For example, for this purpose, the two chamfers have a different dimension, so that insertion is only properly oriented possible.

To fix the carrying device in the drawer or in the receiving device, the chamfer can have a latching position in which a correspondingly complementary catch of the receiving device or the drawer engages. Likewise, the chamfer may have a catch which engages in a complementary latching position. This development has the advantage that the carrying device is held in its relative position by latching and is given by this snapping for the operator a clearly tactile feedback when the support device is aligned correctly.

For a better understanding of the invention, this will be explained in more detail with reference to the following figures.

By way of introduction, it should be noted that in the embodiments described differently, identical parts are provided with the same reference numerals or the same component designations. Also, the location information chosen in the description, such as top, bottom, side, etc. related to the immediately described and illustrated figure and are to be transferred to the new situation mutatis mutandis when a change in position.

The Fig. 1 shows a formed according to the invention stamp 1 according to a first embodiment in a perspective view. This is a so-called self-inking stamp, in which an upper part 2 and a lower part 3 are guided telescopically together and the stamping operation is effected by depressing the upper part 2 and the handle of the punch 1 relative to the lower part 3. The depression or compression of the upper part 2 relative to the lower part 3 takes place counter to the restoring force of a arranged in the interior of the upper part 2 between the upper part 2 and the lower part 3 spring (not shown).

The Fig. 2 shows a cross section of the lower part 3 of the stamp 1 according to Fig. 1 , In Fig. 3 the cut lower part 3 is shown in perspective. Within the lower part 3, an adjustable printing plate support 4 is arranged with a stamp plate 5. For this purpose, the printing plate support 4 axle journals 6, which are vertically displaceable in the side walls of the lower part 3 formed vertical guides 7. The axle journals 6 of the printing plate support 4 extend on both sides of the lower part 3 through the vertical guides 7 and are rotatably mounted in side walls 8 of the upper part 2 of the punch 1 in a conventional manner. In the lower part 3 is also known from the prior art turning mechanism 9 is formed, with which the pressure plate carrier 4 is brought in its movement along the vertical guide 7 is engaged, so that the pressure plate carrier 4 must simultaneously perform a rotational movement and in such a 180 ° pivoted position arrives. The stamp plate 5 is thus limited to the printing plate support 4 by the turning mechanism 9 in the lower part 3 of the stamp 1 translationally and limited rotatably mounted adjustable. By the leadership of the journal 6 in the vertical guides 7 of the lower part 3 and the simultaneous storage of the journal 6 in the side walls 8 of the upper part 2 there is a forced movement coupling during depression of the upper part 2 between the upper part 2 and the die plate 5 and the pressure plate carrier. The stamp plate 5 thus performs in a defined manner a change between a lower position, a printing position in which the stamp plate 5 comes into contact with a pad to be stamped (in Fig. 2 shown in dashed lines) and on the other hand, a position pivoted by 180 °, a rest position in which the stamp plate 5 is in contact with an arranged in the lower part 3 ink pad 10 and thus color is transferred from the ink pad on the stamp plate.

Continuing education: Sliding guide

The in the FIGS. 2 and 3 shown position of the printing plate support 4 and the stamp plate 5 corresponds to the rest position or starting position in which the stamp plate 5 rests with a defined contact pressure on the ink pad 10. The ink pad 10 consists of a sponge-like, storable material and is thus suitable to store a certain supply of stamp ink or ink and deliver it to the stamp plate 5 in the longer term. For the arrangement of the stamp pad 10 in the stamp 1, this is received in a frame or box-like support device 11 and secured therein. The carrying device 11, together with the stamp pad 10, forms an exchangeable unit. This is in the upper one Edge region of the lower part 3, a shaft 12 is formed, in which the carrying device 11 is inserted with the ink pad 10. The shaft 12 is preferably designed as a breakthrough which extends transversely to the longitudinal extent of the lower part 3 and transversely to the actuating direction of the punch 1 corresponding to the vertical guide 7. For arrangement or positioning of the carrying device 11 with the ink pad 10 in the shaft 12 in a position contacting the die plate 5, the carrying device 11 is mounted on a tray 13. According to the illustrated situation in which the stamp plate 5 abuts from below to the downwardly facing freely accessible side of the ink pad 10 and is pressed against this, both the box-like support device 11 and the tray 13 are effectively "upside down" in the Shaft 12 is arranged.

The lower part 3 of the stamp 1 thus represents a housing-like receiving device for the arranged on the tray 13 carrying device 11 with the ink pad 10. The lower part 3 has a substantially hollow prismatic shape, wherein in the, the shaft 12 opposite or facing away from the front end, a breakthrough or an opening is provided whose cross section corresponds at least to the size or the cross section of the pressure plate 5 or of the pressure plate carrier 4. In the position of the stamp plate 5 for producing a stamp impression, this passes through the aperture or can slightly project beyond this aperture.

The operation of the receiving device for the carrying device 11 with the ink pad 10 in the lower part 3 of the punch 1 is more clearly illustrated by comparing the representations according to the FIGS. 2 and 3 on the one hand and the 4 and 5 on the other hand.

The Fig. 4 shows a cross section of the lower part 3 of the punch 1 with the tray 13 in partially pushed out of the slot 12 position.

In Fig. 5 is the cut bottom accordingly Fig. 4 shown in perspective. The drawer 13 comprises a base plate 14, a front side 15 and on both sides of the front side 15 in each case subsequently a handle 16 (FIG. Fig. 1 ). In the inserted into the slot 12 position of the drawer 13 provided in the lower part 3 opening 17 is preferably closed by the front side 15 and the handles 16 of the drawer 13 so that a largely flat front arises, as in Fig. 3 is shown. On the other hand, in the cap-like upper part 2 of the stamp 1 in the region of the front side 15 or in the region of the handles 16 an exemption 18th intended ( Fig. 1 ). The release 18 preferably extends in the side wall 8 of the upper part 2 corresponding to a depth 67 of the laterally disposed handles 16. The drawer 13 can thus be detected at their handles 16 with the fingers and pulled out of the shaft 12 and removed according to a Ausschubrichtung 19 , Conversely, the re-insertion of the ink pad 10 in which the tray 13 is pushed in accordance with an insertion direction 20 into the slot 12 of the lower part 3 takes place. The well 17 formed in the lower part 3 of the shaft opening 17 at the same time serves as a stop to which the tray 13 can be inserted into the shaft 12. This stop is formed in particular by the handles 16 corresponding boundaries of the opening 17 in the lower part 3.

In a further development, a handle 82 can also be arranged on the front side 15 of the drawer 13. This handle 82 can, as in Fig. 1 shown, be formed by a protruding molding, but it is also possible to make this handle fold out or swing out, so as to form a flat as possible front 15, but to remove the tray 13, a handle for good availability available. In Fig. 3 For example, a fold-out handle 82 is shown, which is pivotable about a pivot axis 83 and is held by constructive measures, such as knobs in the region of the pivot axis, in non-actuation in a retracted position of rest. It is also possible that the front side 15 of the drawer 13 has an elastic tab, which rests in a rest position on the front and can be lifted if necessary.

As from the comparison of the relative positions of the tray 13 according to the Fig. 2 and 4 can be seen, takes place when pulling out the tray 13 according to the Ausschubrichtung 19 and a shift in the vertical direction, that is in a direction parallel to the vertical guide 7 direction, the tray 13 is raised with the ink pad 10 by a height 21. In order to make this possible, at least one ramp 22 which can be brought into engagement with the tray 13 is provided in the shaft 12 of the lower part 3. Preferably, a plurality of such ramps 22 formed with an inclined surface and corresponding to these, a plurality of ramps 23, which are opposed to the ramps 22, formed on the base plate 14 of the tray 13. The ramps 23 are arranged on the upper side of the base plate 14 and protrude upward in the direction of the opposing arranged and downwardly projecting ramps 22. The ramp pairs 22, 23 may, for example, also be offset parallel to the front side 15 against each other, whereby a support on a larger area is possible.

The relative arrangement of the carrying device 11 with the ink pad 10 and the pressure plate carrier 4 with the die plate 5 in the lower part 3 as in the illustration according to FIG Fig. 2 is shown, is selected such that the stamp plate 5 presses against the stamp pad 10 with an at least slight bias. This is also necessary to allow wetting of the stamp plate 5 with stamp ink. Accordingly, the ramps 22, 23 are in a mutually pressed arrangement. When pulling out of the ink pad 10 with the tray 13 with respect to the direction of the vertical guide 7 slidably sliding of the ramps 22 and 23 allows each other lifting the ink pad 10 of the die plate 5. There is a discharge of the ink pad 10 by this pressed together from the Condition elastic springback. The associated reduction of the contact pressure between the stamp plate 5 and the ink pad 10 thus allows the ink pad 10 can be removed from the shaft 12 while largely avoiding a frictional resistance. Depending on the elasticity of the stamp pad 10, the springback of the same can vary greatly and possibly be completely omitted. By sliding the ramps 22, 23 together, however, it will always come to a reduction of the contact pressure of the punch plate 5 against the ink pad 10 and so the extraction of the tray 13 at least facilitated.

The interaction of the carrying device 11 of the stamp pad 10 with the tray 13 for insertion or removal from the shaft 12 of the lower part 3 of the punch 1 will be described below with reference to FIG Fig. 6 and 7 explained in more detail. The Fig. 6 shows a view of the lower part 3 according to Fig. 2 In this case, the carrying device 11 of the stamp pad 10 and the tray 13 are in their, inserted into the slot 12 of the lower part 3 or inserted position. A detailed perspective view is in Fig. 7 represented, for better clarity, only the pressure plate carrier 4, the support device 11 of the ink pad 10 and the tray 13 are shown. According to this embodiment, the tray 13 comprises, as already described, the front side 15, two laterally arranged gripping parts 16 and, according to this embodiment, two base plates 14 connected to the front side 15, which are substantially parallel to the ejection direction 19, 20 extend. At the two base plates 14 two with respect to the Ausschubrichtung 19 staggered ramps 23 are arranged in each case, which are in engagement with the arranged in the slot 12 of the lower part 3 ramps 22. Between the tray 13 on the one hand and the carrying device 11 of the stamp pad 10 on the other hand, at least one guide with a Parallel to the Ausschubrichtung 19 directed Relatiwerstellung provided. According to this embodiment, two guides are provided, which are formed on the one hand by L-shaped guide profiles 24 of the support device 11 and engage behind the lateral edges of the base plates 14. To limit the adjustment along these guides can be provided between the tray 13 and the support device 11 stops. For this purpose, the drawer 13 preferably comprises a driver lug 25 with a slot 26, in which a provided on the support device 11 driving pin 27 protrudes. As well as the two base plates 14 and the driving lug 25 of the tray 13 is arranged substantially parallel to the Ausschubrichtung 19 aligned from the front side 15 projecting. An end region of the driver lug 25 facing away from the front side 15 is elastically deformable and can be lifted above the driver pin 27 when the tray 13 is assembled with the carrying device 11 so that it finally comes to lie in the slot 26 of the driver lug 25. This engagement of the driving pin 27 in the slot 26 can additionally be supported by the fact that on the driving pin 27 a parallel to the Ausschubrichtung 19 directed chamfer 28 is provided.

By extending the slot in a direction parallel to the extension direction 19 over a length 29, this length 29 is also available for the driving pin 27 as an adjustment within the slot 26. Due to the frictional force associated with the higher contact pressure between the die plate 5 and the ink pad 10 thus the carrier 11 of the ink pad 10 is initially held in its original position when removing the tray 13 from the shaft 12 ( Fig. 4, 5 ). With progressive movement of the tray 13 along the Ausschubrichtung 19 is simultaneously a reduction of the contact pressure between the punch plate 5 and the pad 10, due to the relative displacement corresponding to the sliding of the ramps 22 and 23, as well as a movement of the driving pin 27 over the length of the 29th Since the relative movement between the carrying device 11 and the drawer 13 is limited by the length 29 of the elongated hole 26, the carrying device 11 of the stamp pad 10 is finally pulled out of the shaft 12 with the drawer 13 moving further. Only after lifting the driver tab 25, the limitation of the adjustment of the driving pin 27 can be repealed and the support device 11 are finally separated from the tray 13. Thus, an exchange of the carrying device 11 with the ink pad 10 is possible. To re-insert the tray 13 with the carrying device 11 is to carry out the sequence of movements described in reverse order.

Of particular advantage in the described solution of the stamp 1 is that the removal of the carrying device 11 is substantially simplified with the ink pad 10 for the user. After gripping the tray 13 on the two handles 16 is a single movement - namely the extraction of the tray 13 corresponding to the Ausschubrichtung 19 - sufficient to remove the ink pad 10 from the stamp 1. Any other manipulation of the stamp 1 is thus not required. By limiting the relative movement of the driving pin 27 of the carrying device 11 in the slot 26 of the drive plate 25 is also ensured that the support device 11 with the ink pad 10 can not fall uncontrollably to the ground. The usually high risk of contamination when changing from ink pad 10 can thus also be substantially reduced.

The Fig. 8 to 10 show a further embodiment of a stamp 1 with a support device 11 of an ink pad 10, which is inserted by means of a tray 13, with an opening for the support device 11, in the lower part 3 of the punch 1. The drawer 13 according to this embodiment also has on the front side 15 subsequent, laterally arranged handles 16. Thus, the tray 13 can be detected by the user and these are pulled out together with carrying device 11 of the ink pad 10 from the lower part 3 of the punch 1 in the direction of Ausschubrichtung 19. The shaft 12 in the lower part 3 for receiving the tray 13 with the ink pad 10 is also in this embodiment of the punch 1 transversely or vertically aligned with respect to the vertical guide 7 for the axle 6 of the pressure plate carrier 4.

The Fig. 9 shows the lower part 3 of the stamp 1 in a perspective view and partially cut dargstellt. On the base plate 14 of the tray 13 bearing elements 30 are provided for it supporting springs 31. On the other hand, these are supported against an inner side 32 of a frontal housing wall 33 of the lower part 3 Fig. 9 shown position of the tray 13, the springs 31 are biased and thereby the drawer 13 is held in the inserted position in the inner shaft 12 position or held back.

On both sides of the base plate 14 of the tray 13 includes a parallel to the Ausschub- or insertion direction 19, 20 and perpendicular to the base plate 14 standing side wall 34 at. The Base plate 14 and the two side walls 34 thus form a U-shaped enclosure of the carrying device 11 of the stamp pad 10. The side walls 34 projecting downwards from the base plate 14 have a boundary formed in the form of an inclined ramp 35. The ramp 35 is inclined with respect to the insertion direction 20 sloping downward and otherwise dimensioned so that it is in engagement with the journal 6 of the pressure plate carrier 4. In the fully inserted into the slot 12 position of the tray 13 (as in Fig. 9 shown) are the ink pad 10 and the stamp plate 5 in contact and in pressed position. However, if the drawer 13 is displaced in the shaft 12 in accordance with the extension direction 19, the sliding of the ramp 35 on the spindle 6 of the pressure plate carrier 4 causes the die plate 5 and the inkpad 10 to be relieved and finally distanced from one another. As a result, the carrying device 11 of the stamp pad 10 can be pulled out of the lower part 3 of the stamp 1 and removed with the greatest possible avoidance of a frictional resistance.

The Fig. 10 shows the lower part 3, the tray 13 and the support device 11 of the stamp pad 10 in an exploded view. In which the front side 15 of the drawer 13 facing away from the end portion of the base plate 14 is a projecting into the movement space of the support device 11 driving lug 36 is formed. Corresponding or in alignment with the driving lug 36, a groove-like release 38 is formed in a bottom 37 of the carrying device 11 of the stamp pad 10. This exemption 38 is open to the edge of the carrying device 11 and extends over a Ausschub- or insertion direction 19, 20 parallel length 39 to a stop 40th

When pulling out the drawer 13 from the lower part 3 of the stamp 1 remains because of the back pressure of the stamp plate 5 against the ink pad 10 or because of static friction, the support device 11 initially in a retained position in the lower part 3. By the movement of the tray 13 along the Ausschubrichtung 19 on the one hand, the system pressure between the punch plate 5 and the ink pad 10 is reduced because of the attack of the ramp 35 to the journal 6 of the pressure plate carrier 4 and on the other hand reaches the driving lug 36 after covering the path of length 39 in the release 38 in engagement with the stop 40 of the support device 11. With the movement of the drawer 13 along the Ausschubrichtung 19 as the carrying device 11 is then further pulled out.

As the drawer 13 is pulled out, the springs 31 (FIG. Fig. 9 As a result, the restoring force acting in the insertion direction 20 becomes ever greater, so that the drawer 13, as soon as it is released, is pulled back into the shaft 12 with an accelerating movement along the direction of insertion 20. However, the carrying device 11 of the stamp pad 10 due to their inertia of this accelerated movement of the tray 13 can not follow quickly enough and finally remains in a position in which the carrying device 11 projects at least partially beyond the front side 15 of the tray 13 in the direction of Ausschubrichtung 19 addition. Thus, finally, the carrying device 11 of the stamp pad 10 can be pulled out or removed from the tray 13.

To insert a new carrying device 11 of an ink pad 10, first the tray 13 is pulled out of the shaft 12 in the direction of the extension 19, wherein the pressure plate carrier 4 is pressed by moving the axle 6 in the vertical guide 7 down. In this withdrawn position of the drawer 13, the carrying device 11 is then pushed into the drawer 13 along the direction of insertion 20 until the stop 40 of the carrying device 11 comes to rest on the catch nose 36 of the drawer 13. In this case, the carrying device 11 is relative to the tray 13 in a further pushed into the slot 12 position as it would correspond to the front side 15 of the tray 13. By further insertion of the tray 13 in the slot 12 of the lower part 3, the carrying device 11 of the stamp pad 10 then arrives in its working position located above the stamp plate 5 of the printing plate carrier 4 and experiences the contact pressure of the stamp plate 5 after the upward movement of the spindle 6 of the printing plate carrier 4 is released again in the vertical guide 7 of the ramps 35 of the tray 6.

In the Fig. 11 to 14 an alternative embodiment of a stamp 1 according to the invention with a lifting mechanism for the support device 11 of the stamp pad 10 is shown. The Fig. 11 shows a perspective view of the punch 1, wherein the support device 11 of the stamp pad 10, inserted into a cushion lifter 41, is supported in the shaft 12 of the lower part 3 of the punch 1.

On the one hand, the pillow lifter 41 forms a shaft-like receptacle 102 and guide track for the carrying device 11 of the stamp pad 10 which can be inserted therein. On the other hand, the pillow lifter 41 is designed to be vertical relative to the lower part 3 of the stamp 1 Displacement to effect a relative to the vertical guide 7 parallel adjustment path 42. The cushion lifter 41 is guided to adjust in the lower part 3 of the punch 1 in the vertical direction adjustable.

In the carrying device 11, it is provided according to this exemplary embodiment that the transitions from the bottom 37 to the shorter narrow sides of the carrying device 11 are each formed by a chamfer 101 running parallel to the ejection or insertion direction 19, 20. According to the chamfer 101 on the carrying device 11, the shaft-like receptacle 102 and guideway are also formed in the cushion lifter 41. That is, the receptacle 102 for the carrying device 11 has in its upper lateral edge regions on a sloping Innenfase 103. The inclination and the size of the inner bevel 103 and the chamfer 101 are selected corresponding to each other. The value of the angle of inclination of the chamfer 101 and the inner bevel 103 is preferably 45 °. A chamfer width 104 of the inner bevel 103 preferably has a value between 10% and 70% of a height 105 of the receptacle 102. The provision of the inner bevel 103 of the receptacle 102 in the cushion lifter 41 and the chamfer 101 on the support 11 has opposite to a support 11 with rectangular Cross-section the advantage that errors are prevented when inserting a carrying device 11 to be replaced. The carrying device 11 can thus only - functionally correct - with the ink pad 10 facing down into the receptacle 102 are inserted. Another limitation of the possibilities for inserting the carrying device 11 into the receptacle 102 of the cushion lifter 41 also provides an alternative embodiment in which only one side of a Innenfase 103 and only on one side of a chamfer 101 of the support device 11 is provided. Further alternative embodiments of the carrying device 11 or the receptacle 102 could be the selection of mutually different angles of inclination or different chamfer widths 104 on the two sides of the chamfers 101 or the inner chamfer 103. A further advantage of the chamfer 101 of the carrying device 11 is the increased stiffness of the carrying device 11 that is thus increased. In particular, the two corresponding chamfers 101, 103 can also have other geometric shapes. For example, in addition to the bevel shown also radii and / or polygons are conceivable to achieve the simplest possible and particularly confusion-safe insertion of the support device and a slight tilting tendency. In particular, for example, the chamfer 101 on the support device 11 may have an increase, so that an automatic alignment of the support device 11 in relation to the receptacle 102 is achieved by the insertion 20 of the support device. Also, with the phase one achieved better vertical support of the support device 11 on the side wall of the cushion lifter or the lower part.

The adjustment of the cushion lifter 41 together with the carrying device 11 of the stamp pad 10 is effected by a likewise arranged in the slot 12 of the lower part 3 slide 43, which is in engagement with slide tracks 44 of the cushion lifter 41. As follows from the FIGS. 12 and 13 is explained in more detail, the pad lifter 41 and the slider 43 together form the aforementioned lifting mechanism for the adjustment of the support device 11 of the stamp pad 10. The lifting of the pad lifter 41 is effected by pulling the slider 43 in the direction of Ausschubrichtung 19. The slider 43 is to formed with handles 45, where it can be grasped with the fingers and the side of the cushion lifter 41 at its narrow sides.

The FIGS. 12 and 13 show details of the lower part 3 of the stamp 1 with the pad lifter 41 and the slider 43 cut and shown in perspective. The representation according to Fig. 12 shows the carrying device 11 of the stamp pad 10 in its fully pushed into the lower part 3 of the punch 1 working position while in the illustration according to Fig. 13 the carrying device 11 is located in one of the stamp plate 5 of the printing plate support 4 about the vertical adjustment path 42 and partially pulled out of the lower part 3 position. The slider 43 of the lifting mechanism consists essentially of a base plate 46, formed by guide profiles 47 sliding a formed between the slider 43 and the lower part 3 of the punch 1 straight guide and laterally projecting from the base plate driving pin 48 with the slide tracks 44 of the cushion lifter 41st engage. The lower part 3 of the stamp 1 has, in its upper end region on, a front wall 49 and a rear wall 50 of the lower part 3 connecting central web 51. This is essentially plate-shaped and arranged in its vertical position such that it at least partially forms an upper boundary of the shaft 12 for the lifting mechanism or the carrying device 11. Side edges of the central web 51 at the same time form guideways 52 for the guide profiles 47 of the slider 43. Connected to the middle web 51 is a leg spring 53, which acts on the slider 43 and retains it in the inserted position. For this purpose, 43 support bolts 54 are arranged on the base plate 46 of the slider.

The cushion lifter 41 is formed by two side walls 55 whose lower edges facing the printing plate support 4 are connected by a base frame 56 surrounding the ink pad 10. In the region of the cushion lifter 41 facing the front wall 49 of the lower part 3 of the stamp 1, the two side walls 55 of the cushion lifter 41 are interconnected by a web 57 which at the same time forms the upper limit for the shaft-like receptacle 102 or guide track for the carrying device 11 of the stamp pad 10 forms. The web 57 is arranged or the side walls 55 of the cushion lifter 41 are formed such that the side walls 55 project beyond the web 57 in the vertical direction. In this projecting region of the side walls 55, the already described slide tracks 44 are formed in the side walls 55. The base plate 46 of the slider 43 extends substantially between these projecting portions of the side walls 55 of the cushion lifter 41. In the region of the base plate 46 facing the front wall 49, the handles 45 of the slider 43 are arranged on a lateral extension of the base plate 46, the handles 45 laterally comprise the side walls 55 of the cushion lifter 41. The regions of the side walls 55 projecting beyond the web 57 are designed to be correspondingly shorter for the lateral extensions of the base plate 46.

On the side walls 55 of the cushion lifter 41 is in each case a sliding body 58 which is guided in a formed in the corresponding side wall of the lower part 3 of the punch 1 guide groove 59. The guide grooves 49 each form a guide track of a linear guide, which is aligned parallel to the vertical guide 7 for the journal 6 of the pressure plate carrier 4. The slider 58 according to this embodiment has the shape of an elongated cuboid and is parallel to its longitudinal extent in the guide groove 49 slidably. The sliding body 58 has retaining elements in the form of laterally arranged latching depressions 60 in an end region facing away from the printing plate support 4. On the other hand, in each of the side walls of the lower part 3 of the punch 1 in alignment with the guide groove 59, a spring clip 61 is arranged with elastically laterally adjustable notches 62. The spring clips 61 are positioned and fastened to the lower part 3 in such a way that in the raised position of the cushion lifter 41 from the pressure plate carrier 41, the detents 62 of the spring clip 61 engage in the latching depressions 60 of the sliding body 61 and the cushion lifter 41 is held in this position.

The slide track 44 which is formed in the side walls 55 of the cushion lifter 41, has a first higher located and parallel to the Ausschubrichtung 19 extending track portion 63, an obliquely downwardly extending track section 64 and in turn a parallel to the Ausschubrichtung 19 extending third track section 65. A taking place when pulling out of the slider 43 movement of the driving pin 48 of the first track section 63 via the oblique second track section 64 in the third track section 65 thus causes a shift of the pad lifter 41 with the support device 11 of the ink pad 10 in the vertical direction, upwards. Thus, the carrying device 11 is lifted by the pressure plate carrier 4 and the punch plate 5 in the vertical direction by the adjustment 42 and thus freed from acting between the punch plate 5 and the ink pad 10 frictional resistance.

The Fig. 14 shows a rear view of the lifting mechanism in a position according to Fig. 13 shown in perspective. As soon as the driving pins of the slide 43 engaging in the slide tracks 44 have reached the lower track section 65 of the link track 44, the carrying device 11 of the stamp pad 10 is also pulled out of the shaft 12 of the lower part 3 as the slide 43 advances. For this purpose, a downwardly projecting driving lug 66 is formed on the end region of its base plate 46 facing away from the handles 45 of the slider 43. This catch nose 66 engages in the bottom 37 of the carrying device 11 formed exemption 38 until it reaches the stop 40. After reaching the maximum pulled out of the lower part 3 position of the slider 43, this can be released and he is retracted under the spring action of the leg spring 53 back into the lower part 3. However, the carrying device 11 of the stamp pad 10 remains in a position projecting beyond the front wall 49 of the lower part 3 of the stamp 1 and can then be removed from the stamp 1. To insert a new ink pad 10 or a carrying device 11, the cushion lifter 41 is first brought into a lifted position from the printing plate support 4, which is achieved in that the slider 43 is at least as far pulled out of the shaft 12, that the driving pin 48 in the area between the oblique second track section 64 and the third track section 65 of the slide track 44 come to rest. The carrying device 11 can then be fully inserted into the slot of the cushion lifter 41, whereupon the slider 43 is also pushed into the slot 12 of the lower part 3. In this case, a displacement of the driving pin 48 of the slider 43 via the oblique second track section 64 to the first track section 63 whereby the pad lifter 41 is moved down and the ink pad 10 of the support device 11 is pressed against the die plate 5.

The following 15 to 20 show a further embodiment of a stamp according to the invention 1. In Fig. 15 this is shown in perspective. The essentially hollow prismatic lower part 3 with the turning mechanism 9 for the printing plate support 4 (FIG. Fig. 17 ) wearing the cap-like upper part 2 or handle of the punch 1 of the telescopically on the lower part 3 against the restoring force of a disposed between the upper part 2 and the lower part 3 spring (not shown) is displaceable. The representation according to Fig. 15 corresponds to the starting position of the punch 1, wherein the handle or upper part 2 is in its maximum shifted upward starting position. The opening 17 in the lower part 3, through which the carrying device 11 of the replaceable ink pad 10 can be inserted or removed from the lower part 3 extends in this embodiment of the stamp 1 over the entire width of the front wall 49 of the lower part 3 as well a depth 67 in the front wall 49 on both sides adjoining side walls of the lower part 3. In a viorde view according to a viewing direction parallel to the insertion direction 20, the opening 17 appears with a rectangular shape and a height 68th

The side walls 8 of the cap-like handle or upper part 2 of the stamp 1 and a front wall 69 of the upper part 2 have a lower edge 70 and 71, respectively, in the position according to FIG Fig. 15 extends below the opening 17 in the lower part 3. Over the entire width of the front wall 69 of the upper part 2, a window 72 extends which continues in the two side walls 8 via a depth 73. As well as the opening 17 in the lower part 3, the window 72 in the upper part 2 in front view, that is looking parallel to the insertion direction 20, a rectangular shape, wherein a height 74 of the window 72 has a value of at least the same size as the Height 68 of the opening 17 is. According to the in Fig. 15 shown basic position of the punch 1, that is, that position in which the upper part 2 and the handle of the punch 1 is in its relative to its lower part 2 maximally shifted upward position, the window 72 is relative to the opening 17 in the lower part 3 in a position higher than the opening 17, so that the opening 17 is at least partially hidden by the front wall 69 of the upper part 2. Thus, in the basic position of the punch 1 shown, removal of the stamp pad 10 through the opening 17 is not possible. In order to remove the ink pad 10, it is necessary that the upper part 2 is moved so far relative to the lower part 3 down that the far away 72 relative to the opening 17 as in below Fig. 16 is aligned. To remove the carrying device 11 with the ink pad 10 from the lower part 3 of the stamp 1 unhindered or to be able to use again, is on the Oberteil 2 a lock 75 or a bolt provided with a corresponding stop 76 ( Fig. 17 ) can be engaged or fixed. The lock 75 and the stop 76 are preferably arranged in the front wall 69 of the upper part 2 and on the front wall 49 of the lower part 3.

To change the pillow, the upper part 2 must be aligned relative to the lower part 3, so that the window 72 of the upper part comes with the opening 17 of the lower part to cover. Since for reasons of a compact construction of the punch 1, the height 74 of the window 72 is preferably only slightly larger than the height 68 of the opening 17, this alignment may require a lot of manipulation effort, especially for inexperienced operators who perform a pad change very rarely , In a development, therefore, the bolt 76 may have a guide profile 120 which slides along or slide off a corresponding stop 76 of the lower part 3, as shown in FIG Fig. 23 is shown. Thus, it is possible by moving 121 of the bolt 75 and thus the guide profile 120 in the direction transverse to the direction of movement of the upper part 2, to achieve a movement of the upper part down. The degree of relative movement corresponds exactly to the extent to which the upper part 2 must be moved to bring the opening 17 in the lower part 3 with the window 72 in the upper part 2 to cover. The guide profile 120 of the lower part has at least one, in relation to the displacement direction 121 of the bolt 75 inclined track portion 122, wherein the pitch of the web portion is selected such that the displacement 123 of the bolt 75 is converted into a corresponding relative movement of the upper part 2 to the Top to move by the distance 124 to release the opening 17 through the window 72 down. The guide profile further has a latching position 125, in which the stop 76 of the lower part 3 in the guide element 120 of the bolt 75 can remain in a rest position and thus the lowered upper part 2 is held in position, whereby an exchange of the support device 11 is easily possible ,

To change the carrying device of the bolt 75 is displaced sideways 121, whereby the stop 76 comes into contact with the rising track portion 122 and thus the upper part 2 is moved relative to the lower part 3 down. After the end of the path 123 of the web portion 122, the stopper 76 comes after exceeding the apex of the web portion in the detent position 125 of the guide profile, whereby the position of the upper part is held in relation to the lower part, in particular is now the window 72 of the upper part over the opening 17 of the Bottom parts, whereby the support device can be removed. After completion of the Exchange the latch is moved back to the starting position, or moved according to the previous direction of movement, whereby the upper part is moved back up to its original position, since the stop 76 now slides on a descending track section 122.

The Fig. 16 shows the stamp 1 according to Fig. 15 shown in perspective with the partially extracted from the lower part 3 stamp pad 10 and extended support device 11. In Fig. 17 the stamp is in the position according to Fig. 16 shown cut. How clearer Fig. 16 to recognize a bracket 77 is attached to the support device 11. The outer shape of the bracket 77 is substantially U-shaped and corresponds in particular to the opening 17 in the lower part 3 with arranged at the lateral end portions handles 78. Their extension parallel to the insertion direction 20 corresponds to the depth 67 of the opening 17 in the lower part. 3 Mutually facing sides of the two handles 78 of the bracket 77 are preferably connected to narrow sides of the carrying device 11 by latching connections with the carrying device 11. The shape of the bracket 77 is preferably formed complementary to the opening 17 in the lower part 3. In the retracted position, the opening 17 is thus completely closed by the clamp 77. On the other hand, when the window 72 of the upper part 2 is aligned with the opening 17 of the lower part 3, the provision of the clip 77 enables comfortable grasping and removal of the carrying device 11 with the stamp pad 10 from the stamp 1.

Since for aligning windows 72 and opening 17 initially a relative adjustment between the upper part 2 relative to the lower part 3 is required, which at the same time because of the movement coupling between the upper part 2 and the printing plate support 4 via the journals 6 lowering the printing plate support 4 in the direction of Vertical guide causes 7, the ink pad 10 is relieved of the otherwise acting in the normal position of the punch 1 contact pressure of the die plate 5 and these lifted from each other by a distance 79 ( Fig. 17 ). The distance 79 substantially corresponds to the relative displacement required to align the window 72 in the top 2 with the opening 17 in the bottom 3. The one in the starting position ( Fig. 15 ) acting frictional resistance between the punch plate 5 and the ink pad 10 is thus canceled and the support device 11 can be removed with the ink pad 10 with a correspondingly small force or reused.

The Fig. 18 shows the carrying device 11 of the stamp pad 10 with the bracket 77 according to Fig. 16 in plan view. In the Fig. 19 the carrying device 11 and the clamp 77 are shown in a separate position. The mutually facing sides of the two handles 78 of the bracket 77 are provided with a rack-like tooth profile 80. Accordingly, in the, the long narrow sides of the support device 11 adjacent areas of the shorter narrow sides to the tooth profiles 80 of the bracket 77 complementary tooth profiles 81 are formed. The tooth profiles 80, 81 are preferably formed with flanks perpendicular to the bottom 37 of the carrying device 11. Accordingly, the tooth profiles 80 of the bracket 77 relative to the tooth profiles 81 of the carrying device 11 in a direction perpendicular to the bottom 37 can be shifted from each other. The fastening of the bracket 77 on the carrying device 11 thus takes place in which the two tooth profiles 80 are brought to the bottom 37 of the carrying device 11 corresponding ends of the tooth profiles 81 and the tooth profiles 80 of the bracket 77 are pushed into the tooth profiles 81 of the support device 11 , To replace the ink pad 10 and the carrying device 11, this is with the aid of the bracket 77 from the lower part 3 of the punch 1, as in Fig. 16 shown pulled out in the direction of Ausschubrichtung 19. Then, the bracket 77 is released from the support device 11 and assembled with a new support device 11, which is then used according to the insertion direction 20 by means of the brackets 77 in the lower part 3 of the punch 1 until clip 77 closes the opening 17 or at this is applied. In the Fig. 19 Furthermore, the formed as a chamfer 101 edge between the bottom 37 and the short narrow side of the support device 11 is shown. This chamfer can serve, for example, to prevent erroneous insertion, since the support device can only be aligned correctly, ie with the correct orientation of the stamp pad in relation to the stamp plate, in the receiving device or in the drawer can be used. By coding the chamfer, that is to say, for example, by means of different chamfer angles or chamfer widths, a carrying device can be formed, which can be configured specifically for different punch variants. Preferably, both chamfers have the same basic geometry, additional codes are formed, for example, in that the chamfer has a greater width and / or a greater angle of inclination, so that the support device can always be used in a stamp with the basic complementary profile, as long the compatibility of the stamp pad is given. But the chamfer also has the advantage that the carrying device in a stamp can be used, the receiving device or loading has no such counter bevel as the missing by the chamfer material part is not disturbing in appearance.

The Fig. 20 shows an alternative embodiment of a support device 11 of an ink pad 10 for the stamp 1 according to Fig. 15 , In this carrying device 11, adjacent to one of the long narrow sides, the handles 78 are formed integrally with the carrying device 11 on the two short narrow sides. The carrying device 11 according to this embodiment appears in a T-shaped with respect to the bottom 37 vertically directed top view. The type of such laterally protruding handles 78 allow a comfortable and secure gripping the carrying device 11 through the window 72 of the handle or upper part 2 therethrough. In this embodiment, the entire support device 11 is exchanged during a kiss exchange, including the available for easier gripping grip pieces 78th

The Fig. 21 a to c show a further embodiment of a support device 11 for an inkpad 10 after Fig. 18 , The bracket 77 off Fig. 18 now additionally has a cover 84, which is connected to the clip via a web-like connecting means and in the, attached to the support device 11 state, the ink pad 10 completely covers. This cover ensures a reliable protection against contact and thus protection against contamination, and this cover 84 can seal the supporting device so tightly that a transport packaging is created which prevents the ink pad from drying out before it is actually used. For this purpose, at the boundary of the cover 84 which faces the ink pad 10, a sealant may be attached. The bracket 77 with the cover 84 is placed in the manufacture of the support device 11 in a Aufsteckrichtung 88, wherein the bracket 77, in particular the handles 78 with the molded tooth profiles 80, is inserted into correspondingly complementary tooth profiles 81 of the support device 11. Since the bridge connecting the handles 78 is omitted in this development, additional guide profiles are arranged on the, the short narrow side of the handles adjacent long narrow side of the support device 11, wherein a guide profile 86 of the clip engages in a correspondingly opposite guide profile 87 of the support device 11 and thus the bracket 77 and thus the cover 84 fixed on the support device 11. In a further development, the tooth profiles 80 of the handles 78 can be dispensed with, since the guide profile 86, 87 provides sufficient mechanical stability and fixation of the handles 78 on the carrier device. Before inserting the carrying device 11 in the stamp 1 after Fig. 15 the cover is raised at the long narrow side opposite the handles 78 until the cover breaks off from the bracket 77 along the connection means designed as predetermined breaking point 85 and makes the ink pad 10 freely accessible. The web-like connecting means can also be formed by a constriction, for example. In the form of a film hinge, whereby the cover can be separated if necessary by tearing off or cutting off of the clip. The support device is then inserted into the punch 1, as previously in Fig. 15 has been described. Fig. 21b shows to a detail area of the bracket 77. The cover 84 is connected via a web-like connecting means with the handle 78, which breaks when the cover 84 is lifted as described and thus enables a separation of the cover of the handles 78. The handles 78 remain connected by the guide in the tooth profiles 80, 81 and in the guide profiles 86, 87 with the support device 11 and thus allow easy insertion into the stamp. 1

For a stamp 1 in which the carrying device 11 is inserted in a tray 13, for example. A stamp 1 according to a in Fig. 1 to 15 As shown training, the trained support device 11 can also be used, since the bracket 77 can be completely deducted from the support device in which the clip is withdrawn perpendicular to the bottom 37 of the support device relative to the tooth profiles 80, 81 and guide profiles 86, 87 89 like this in Fig. 21a is shown. The remaining carrying device 11 can thus be inserted into the drawer 13 as described above. With this development, a universal support device 11 is provided, which can be used advantageously for differently shaped stamp 1, wherein the support device can be adapted by very simple manipulation steps to the requirements of the respective stamp. In combination with a possibly attached chamfer 101, the support device can also be configured specifically for different stamp types. Of particular importance, however, is that only one basic type of a support device can be used for a plurality of different stamp types, which brings a very significant cost advantage in terms of manufacturing technology and especially in the field of spare parts logistics.

When changing the ink pad with a stamp 1 after Fig. 15 is as described above, by a downward movement of the upper part 2 parallel to the vertical guide 7, the pressure plate carrier 4 with the stamp plate 5 by that distance from the support device 11 which is sufficient to relieve the stamp plate 5 and lift off from the ink pad 10 that the Carrying device can be removed with the greatest possible avoidance of frictional resistance from the shaft 12. Fig. 22 now shows a further possible training to lower when removing or when inserting the support device 11, the pressure plate carrier 4 and thus the punch plate 5 so far that an unhindered insertion or removal of the support device 11 is possible without the upper part 2 through Depression must be brought into a pillow change position. The opening 17 in the front wall 49 is thus accessible even when the upper part 2 is in the rest position and the punch plate 5 rests against the ink pad 10. The support device 11 of this development now has at its end narrow sides in each case a parallel thereto aligned guide profile 110, wherein the guide profile also has one, but preferably two ramps 111. These guide profiles thus also constitute a means for reducing the contact pressure and for canceling the contact between the stamp plate and the stamp pad. The ramps 111 are arranged at the front ends of the guide profile 111 and project beyond the flat side opposite the bottom 37 of the support device 11. Furthermore, the ramps each have a first 112 and a second ramp portion 113 whose pitch corresponds, for example, that which has a ramp 115 of a guide profile 114 of the pressure plate carrier. When removing the support device according to the Ausschubrichtung 19, the support device 11 is displaced relative to the printing plate support 4, wherein the first ramp portion 112 of the guide profile 110 of the support device 11 slides on the ramp 115 of the guide profile 114 of the pressure plate carrier 4 and thus parallel to a movement of the printing plate support Vertical guide 7 comes, in particular so the stamp plate 5 is moved away from the ink pad 10, so that the support device 11 can be pulled out of the shaft 12 substantially without appreciable frictional resistance. When inserting the conditions are exactly the opposite. The second 113 ramp portion of the support device 11 will come into contact with the ramp 115 of the printing plate support 4 and slide on this, which in turn comes to a relative movement of the printing plate support parallel to the vertical guide 7 down and thus the support device can be inserted. When the carrying device 11 reaches the working position, the ramp 115 of the printing plate carrier 4 slides on the first ramp section 112 of the carrying device 11 and the printing plate carrier 4 and thus also the stamp plate 5 is moved against the carrying device and pressed against the stamp pad 10 with the predetermined pressure ,

To facilitate the insertion, for example, the second ramp section 113 of the guide profile 110 of the support device 11 may have a slight pitch. In contrast, is when pushing out the fastest possible separation of the die plate 5 and ink pad 10 desired, so that a small displacement of the support device 11 in Ausschubrichtung 20 sufficient to separate stamp plate and ink pad, whereby the first ramp section 112 will have the largest possible slope.

To simplify the change of the pillow, in a further development, the rear wall 50 of the lower part 3 an opening 17, wherein the two identical openings 17, in the front and rear walls, opposite each other and thus form a continuous shaft 12. This design has the particular advantage that a pad change can be made from both sides of the stamp 1. For example, by inserting a new carrying device, the inserted carrying device can be ejected without the need for further manipulation operations. In the retracted position is held by the operatively connected or engaged alignment of the guide profiles of the support device and the pressure plate, the support device in position, as in particular prevents a displacement of the support device due to the back pressure by the aligned ramps 113, 115.

In the Fig. 24 to 35 a further embodiment of a solution according to the invention is described and illustrated, in which the carrying device 11 is realized directly by an ink pad 130, ie; that the ink pad 130 is designed as a carrying device 11 and is inserted directly into the shaft 12 of the stamp 1 without additional aids, whereby an additional element, in particular the tray 13, as in the previously described Embodiments shown, may be omitted. Of course, it is also possible that this design of the solution according to the invention via a tray 13 in which the ink pad 130 is inserted, as shown in the FIGS. 1 to 23 is described, can be realized.

In the Fig. 24 to 28 For example, the stamp pad 130 which forms the carrying device 11 is illustrated schematically, wherein the stamp pad 130 is designed for a self-inking stamp 1 and in a housing 131 or in the carrying device 11 at least one pad 132 is arranged for receiving color on the carrying device 11 means in the form of grooves 133 and / or elevations 134 for fixing in the punch 1 are arranged. The ink pad 130 is formed from the preferably rectangular housing 131, which is formed from a base plate 135, two longitudinal surfaces 136 and two side surfaces 137, so that over the non-closed surface of the housing 131, the pad 132, as indicated by an arrow, can be used in which the printing plate or stamping plate 5 abuts against the ink in the rest position of the stamp 1 when the ink pad 130 is in use. For the fixation of the pad 132 projections 131, locking elements or the like are arranged within the housing 131.

The dimensioning of the stamp pad 130 is preferably designed in such a way that it can be used in self-inking stamps 1 of the same type as already described in the prior art, as described, for example, in the introduction to the description. In the solution according to the invention, the stamp pad 130 is designed for a self-inking stamp 1, which will be described in more detail below, wherein on the side surfaces 137 of the carrying device 11 each have a handle member 138 for lateral holding and pulling out of the carrying device 11 and the stamp pad 130 from one of a plurality of mutually displaceable parts formed stamp 1 is arranged, wherein the gripping elements 138 are formed for insertion into a recess 139 of a lower part 3 of the punch 1 and they do not extend beyond the outer surface 140 of the lower part 3, so that an upper part 2 of the punch 1 on the Recess 139 with the introduced in the lower part 3 handle members 138 is displaceable.

Preferably, the grip elements 138 are fixed to the side surfaces 137 via a fastening means 141, for which purpose at least one groove 142 is arranged on the side surfaces 137 and on the grip element 138 corresponding thereto at least one projection 143. The grooves 142 on the side surfaces 137 are preferably locked in one direction, so that the projections 143 of the handle member 138 are pushed only in a certain direction and only up to the lock in the grooves 142, as shown in Fig. 35 is apparent. In this case, the grip element 138 may extend over the corner region, wherein at least one attachment means 141 is preferably arranged on the longitudinal and side surfaces 136 and 137, so that a secure and firm grip of the grip element 138 on the support device 11, in particular the housing 131, is achieved , In a symmetrical embodiment of the stamp pad 130, it is possible to attach the handle elements 138 in each corner region, wherein for use in a stamp 1, the grip elements 138 are arranged in the corner regions of the same longitudinal surface 136. However, in the case of signs of wear, the user can attach the gripping elements 138 to the opposing grooves 142 and thus insert the stamp pad 130 turned through 180 °.

The gripping elements 138 are designed such that they project beyond the carrying device 11 or the housing 131 on the side surfaces 137 and terminate flush with the front side, in particular the longitudinal surface 136. Correspondingly, 1 recesses 139 are necessary in the lower part 3 of the stamp, as described in more detail below. The projecting gripping elements 138 and the lower part 3, in particular the recess 139 in the lower part 3, are matched to one another such that when the ink pad 130 is inserted, the outer surfaces 140 on the lower part 3 of the stamp 1 close approximately flush with the front side of the support device 11 and the gripping elements 138, so that in a stamping operation of the upper part 2, as known from the prior art, can be pushed over the lower part 3.

For better removal of the support device 11 and the stamp pad 130 notches, projections, grooves or the like are arranged on the handle elements 138, in particular on the surface thereof, to prevent slipping when pulling out of the punch 1. It is also possible for a width 144 of the grip elements 138 to project beyond a width 145 of the side surface 137 or of the housing 131 of the support device 11, so that a larger engagement surface is created for the user.

The arrangement of detachable handle elements ensures that in the use of the stamp pad 131 in other older types of a self-inking stamp 1, these can be removed and thus the ink pad can be used, whereby a backward compatibility is achieved in an advantageous manner. Of course it is also possible that only one gripping element 138 is arranged, which extends from one side surface 137 over a longitudinal surface 136 to the further parallel side surface 137, so that in turn a lateral engagement of the ink pad 131 with two fingers is possible. Likewise, the carrying device 11 with the handle member 138 in one piece, so be formed as a one-piece injection molded part, with such training has no backwards compatibility and the handle members 138 are not removable.

It is essential in the embodiment with laterally arranged gripping elements 138 that they do not protrude beyond the outer surface 140 of the lower part 3 in the inserted state, so that telescoping of the lower and upper parts 3 and 2, ie a stamping process, is possible.

Moreover, means known from the prior art on the side surface 137 of the carrying device 11 are preferably arranged in the form of grooves 133 and / or elevations 134 for fixing in a stamp 1. This arrangement on the side surfaces 137 allows for the fixation of the stamp pad 130 in older prior art self-inking stamps 1, which provides backward compatibility. A disadvantage of such, on the side surfaces 137 arranged fastening system is that the ink pad 130 is fixed only in a horizontal plane. In order to achieve a better fixation of the stamp pad 130 in the stamp 1, an angularly extending surface 146 is arranged over at least a portion of a side surface 137 of the carrying device 11, on which a means for fixing in a stamp 1 is positioned. The means, for example, again by grooves 133 and / or elevations 134, as they are also used on the side surfaces 137 formed. Due to the angled arrangement, it is achieved that a horizontal and vertical force is simultaneously exerted on the protrusion or elevations 134 projecting into the grooves 133. Thus, the ink pad 130 can not be displaced in the vertical and horizontal direction when a pressure plate or the stamp plate 5 concerns. The angle of the surface 146 is preferably 45 ° to the base.

Thus, it can be said that the difference with the self-inking stamp 1 stamping pad 130 known in the prior art is that the arrangement of the handle members 138 is on the side surfaces 137 and the means for attaching the stamp pad 130 in the stamp 1 is now via an angularly extending surface 146, whereby a Pressure generation in the horizontal and vertical direction on the housing 131 of the ink pad 130 is achieved.

In order to use such an ink pad 130, it is necessary, the stamp 1, as in the FIGS. 29 to 36 shown to form for receiving the stamp pad 130 accordingly, with only the most essential parts and differences will be described. The stamp 1 is equipped with a pivotable printing plate support 4 with a stamp plate 5 and with a receiving device in the form of a shaft 12 for a replaceable support device 11 and an ink pad 130. The pressure plate carrier 4 and the receiving device are arranged in the lower part 3, wherein the pressure plate carrier 4 in the vertical direction of a voltage applied to the ink pad 130 with a contact pressure starting position -. Fig. 29 - In a position for generating a stamp imprint (die position, not shown) is adjustable, wherein in the stamp position, the stamp plate 5 is pressed against a footprint and thus generates an impression of the stamp plate 5. The receiving device is formed at least by a transverse to the vertical direction extending shaft 12 into which the ink pad 130 and the support device 11 is inserted. It is possible that appropriate guide webs, notches, etc. may be arranged.

In order for the above-described ink pad 130 to be used, it is necessary that the lower part 3 is formed to receive and fix the ink pad 130. For this purpose, an angularly extending surface 148 is arranged in the shaft 12 over at least a portion of a side surface 147 of the lower part 3, on which a means, in particular elevations 149 and / or grooves 150, for fixing an inserted ink pad 130 is positioned. The means are corresponding to the means, in particular the elevations 133 and grooves 134, formed on the ink pad 130 so that upon insertion of the ink pad 130 this is protected from falling out and simultaneously held in the exact position, as of the means, in particular the elevations 134, 149 and grooves 133, 150 a vertical and horizontal force is exerted on the angled surface 146 of the stamp pad 130. This also prevents the stamp plate 5 can move in the rest position by frictional engagement on the ink pad 130 in the horizontal direction. Due to the formation of the angle for the angled surface 146, 148 in the shaft 12 and on the ink pad 130 can also be taken on the force influence, ie, that at a shallower angle more force in horizontal direction is exercised, whereas at a steeper angle, the vertical force takes the upper hand. In principle, it should be mentioned that the angular formation of the surface 146, 148 in the shaft 12 as well as on the stamp pad 130 need not extend over the entire side surface 137 and 147. It is sufficient if only a partial area is formed in this way. In this case, however, it is necessary that the initial area of the side surface 137 and 147 is always formed at an angle, so that the ink pad 130 can be inserted and does not abut with the rectangular portions remaining at the angled surface 137 and 147.

However, so that the ink pad 130 can be used with the laterally arranged handle members 138 are in the shaft 12 of the lower part 3 and the lower part 3 itself on two side surfaces 147, the recesses 139 for inserting the handle members 138 of the ink pad 130 and for lateral holding and pulling the Stamping pad 130 is arranged. As can be seen, the recesses 139 are arranged in the side wall or side surface 147 of the lower part 3. The depth or length and width of the recess 139 corresponds to the size of the grip elements 138, so that they can be safely inserted into the recess 139.

It is essential here that corresponding to the recess 139 in the lower part 3 of the upper part 2 is formed, that is, that the upper part 2 at least in a partial region on the side walls 151 has an opening or release 152, so in the removal position ( FIGS. 31 and 32 ) for exchanging the stamp pad 130, this opening or release 152 releases the lateral access to the handle elements 138 in the recesses 139 of the side surfaces 147 of the lower part 3. Preferably, the upper part 2 has a window 72, which extends from a front or rear wall 153 on the side wall 151 and thus there forms the release 152 for access to the handle elements 138. Thus, it is possible by appropriate adjustment of the upper part 2, as in the FIGS. 31 and 32 can be seen to gain free access to the handle members 138. If the stamp 1 is at rest according to FIGS. 29 and 30 Thus, the window 72 is opposite to the shaft 12 in the opposite direction to the footprint of the punch 1 shifted, whereby a withdrawal of the ink pad 130 is not possible because the lower part of the upper part 2 and the window 72 partially covers the ink pad 130. If the stamp 1 in the position of the piston in accordance with FIGS. 33 and 34 brought, the window 72 is positioned below the ink pad 130, which in turn a removal of the ink pad 130 is prevented.

In the novel stamp 1 according to the invention with associated stamp pad 130, an ink pad exchange takes place in such a way that in the rest position (FIG. Fig.29 and 30th ) the window 72 in the upper part 2, ie the lower edge of the window 72, at least partially covers the ink pad 130 inserted in the shaft 12, so that the upper part is displaced in the direction of the lower part 3 until the window 72 completely releases the ink pad 130, at the same time the printing plate support 4 and the stamp plate 5 is lifted from the ink pad 130. In this stamp exchange position, the upper part 2 can be fixed by means of a locking system 154 arranged on the front or rear wall 153, so that the user can release the stamp 1 and the two nested parts are held in this position. Subsequently, it is possible to laterally reach the grip elements 138 via the window 72 and to pull the stamp pad 130 out of the lower part 3 through the window 72 of the upper part 2 to the outside, as shown in FIG Fig. 32 indicated. Since the handle members 138 are laterally disposed, the user only needs two fingers to exchange the stamp pad 130, and by this arrangement of the handle members 138, the user automatically applies pressure thereto and the pad pad 130 is securely held between the two fingers. This also prevents direct contact with the color-saturated memory material in the interior of the housing 131 when removing the stamp pad 130. By releasing the locking system 154, the upper part 2 can slide back into its rest position and the punch exchange process is completed.

Furthermore, the lower part 3 may be formed in several parts, wherein different materials for a variety of parts 155, 156 can be used, in particular hard plastic for dimensional stability - Part 155 - and soft plastic - part 156 - for the support and positioning. In this case, a part 156 is preferably transparent and is used in the form of a window. This part 156 is used in the region of the support surface, so that for a stamping operation, the user can look through the transparent part 156 and thus can position the stamp 1 exactly because the user can look into the interior of the stamp 1. For this purpose, it is possible that 3 positioning projections 157 are arranged in the region of the support surface of the lower part.

So that a simpler assembling of the punch 1 is made possible, it is advantageous if the upper part 2 is also in several parts, as in Fig. 35 represented, is formed. The upper part 2 know to a removable decorative plate 158, so that the upper part 2 is open on one side and thus easier to pull apart, creating a lighter touchdown on the lower part 3 is achieved. On the decorative plate 158 fastening means are arranged so that it can be easily pressed onto the upper part 2 and thus closes it. At the same time it is achieved that the upper part 2 can not be pulled apart and this is thus securely held on the lower part 3.

In order to make an optical adjustment of the appearance or the color design, different decorative panels 158 can be used. In addition, a decorative plate 159 can also be used on the side walls 151, which is simply pressed onto the side wall 151 via fastening means, in particular a snap connection. Another decorative plate 160 may be mounted on the upper part 2, wherein this decorative plate 160 is formed transparent. This allows the user below the decorative plate 160 insert a stamp imprint, so that the user can recognize which stamp 1 with which stamp imprint he has in front of him.

In the FIGS. 36 to 38 the locking system 154 is shown in detail. The locking system 154 is necessary for fixing the upper part 2 and the lower part 3 to one another, wherein now this is used for several, in particular two, positions. For this purpose, an actuatable on the outside of the upper part 2 slide lever 161 is arranged. The sliding lever 161 can be moved in the illustrated embodiment in a left and right position, wherein in a position, in particular in the left, the parts of the punch 1, in particular the upper part 2 and the lower part 3, can be moved freely, whereas in the further position in a certain position of the upper part 2 and the lower part 3 are locked to each other. However, for this to be possible, the user must position the two parts in relation to one another, so that the sliding lever 161 can be displaced into the blocking position, in particular the right-hand position.

In order to enable a locking of the upper part 2 with the lower part 3, a locking system is coupled to the sliding lever 161, which is formed in a simple form by projections 162 and notches 163. In the embodiment shown, the sliding lever 161 is provided with a plurality of projections 162 which project through slots, not shown, into the interior of the upper part 2. At the bottom part 3 two notches 163 are mounted in the at corresponding position of the shift lever 161 engage the projections 162 and thus lock the two parts to each other.

It is in Fig. 36 the stamp 1 with the locking system 161 shown in the rest position. Here, the projections 162 and notches 163 are not engaged, so that a punching operation can be performed with the punch 1. If the user now wants to change the ink pad 130, for example, the latter pushes the two parts, in particular the upper part 2 and the lower part 3 into each other and presses simultaneously with the sliding lever in the blocking position, in particular in the right position, so that the projections on reaching the correct position 162 engages in the first notch 163 and the shift lever 161 can move completely outwards, ie to the right, as in Fig. 37 is shown. Thus, now the window 72 is directly in front of the shaft 12 and the user can easily remove the ink pad 130 through the window 72 by laterally engaging the handle elements 138. So that now the punch 1 can be moved back into the rest position or in the stamp position, it is necessary that the sliding lever 161 is moved back into the other position, in particular in the left position, so that the two parts can be moved freely back to each other , In order to fix the stamp 1 in a transport position or stamp position, the user presses the upper part 2 into the stamp position, ie completely downwards, and pushes the shift lever 161 to the right, so that the projections 162 in turn engage in a corresponding notch 163, like this in Fig. 38 is shown.

To make it easier to identify the positions, it is possible to mark the individual positions on the stamp 1. For this purpose, corresponding markings can be applied or embossed in a simple form. This is particularly advantageous when multiple positions are possible for fixing, so that the user finds the appropriate position faster. For this purpose, it is possible, for example, that a corresponding viewing window is attached to the upper part 2 so that the user can see the markings on the lower part 3.

What is essential here is that a stamp 1 is used with a pivotable printing plate support 4 with a stamp plate 5 and with a receiving device for a replaceable carrier device 11 of an ink pad 130, wherein the printing plate support 4 and the receiving device are arranged in a lower part 3, and wherein the pressure plate carrier 4 in the vertical direction of a voltage applied to the ink pad 130 with a contact pressure Starting position in a position for generating a stamp imprint is adjustable, and wherein the receiving device is formed at least by a transverse to the vertical direction extending shaft 12, wherein a locking system 161 is arranged for fixing the upper part 2 and the lower part 3 to each other, with the at least two positions can be fixed or blocked. In such a solution is achieved in an advantageous manner that in the blocking situation, the point of force of the lock in the position of the ink pad change and in the transport or stamp position is always on the spring base on the housing 131, that is, the force of the spring on the Caseback acts and thus causes a deflection of this, counteracted by the locking cam, in particular the projections 162, in this area and thus the deflection is minimized.

Conventionally, the stamps 1 known from the prior art on a locking system, in which, however, only a single position, in particular the position can be fixed or locked for changing the pad pad or another locking system at a further position, in particular laterally, of the punch is arranged for further fixation.

Furthermore is in Fig. 39 a transporting clip 164 for a self-inking stamp 1 is shown. The transport clamp 164 has the task of the stamp 1, in particular the upper part 2 and the lower part 3 to fix each other, for which purpose the smallest possible size to be created, ie, that the punch 1 in the die position in which the upper part 2 completely over the Lower part 3 has been pushed, is held on the transport clamp 164 and thus the stamp plate 5 is covered by this, so that during transport no contamination of the adjacent objects arises and at the same time the smallest size was manufactured for easy transport.

For this purpose, the transport bracket 164 has now been designed such that it, not as known from the prior art, is brought into connection with the upper part 2, but this engages in the lower part 3. In this case, the transport clamp 164 is formed from a bottom plate 165 on which protrude at the longitudinal sides in each case in the same direction a tongue 166, 167, wherein a tongue 166 is provided with a locking element 168.

The locking element 168 is for example designed such that it is slightly bent in the end region in the direction of the further tongue 167 and at the end a in the direction of the further tongue 167 extending latching lug 169 is arranged for engagement in a arranged in the lower part 3 latching recess 170. In order to be able to release the tongue 167 more easily from the latching, a latching lever 171 is furthermore provided, which, with appropriate actuation in the opposite direction to the latching latch 169, releases it from the rasping recess 170.

It is essential here that the latching recess 170 is positioned on the lower part 3 such that when the plunger 1 is pushed together, ie in the plunger position, the latching recess 170 is positioned within the window 72, so that the latch 166 engages with the latching latch 169 through the window 72 can reach the lower part 2 and thus the locking lug 169 can snap into the locking recess 170. If the pressure on the punch 1 is reduced or eliminated after snapping the detent 169 into the detent recess 170, the upper part 2 is moved in the direction of the starting position due to the spring arranged therein until it comes into contact with the tongue 169. The difference from the prior art is now that the holding force for the transport bracket 161 is now not exercised on the upper part 2, but on the lower part 3, so that the upper part 2 is freely movable, without the locking connection of the transport bracket 161 is released.

It can therefore be said that the transport clamp 161 for a stamp 1 with a pivotable printing plate support 4 with a stamp plate 5 and with a receiving device for a replaceable support device 11 of an ink pad 130, wherein the pressure plate carrier 4 and the receiving device are arranged in a lower part 3, and the pressure plate carrier 4 being adjustable in the vertical direction from a starting position resting on the stamp pad 130 with a contact pressure into a position for producing a stamp impression, and wherein the receiving device is formed at least by a shaft 12 extending transversely to the vertical direction, wherein on a bottom plate 165 at least one tongue 166 is arranged with a locking element 168 disposed thereon, wherein the locking element 168 establishes a latching connection through a window 72 of the upper part 2 with the lower part 3.

The advantage of such a solution is that now no external sichtba-Ren projections, elevations, depressions, etc. are necessary for the engagement of the transport bracket 161 and thus a visually appealing stamp 1 can be created.

For the sake of order, it should finally be pointed out that, for a better understanding of the construction of the stamp 1, this or its components have been shown partially unevenly and / or enlarged and / or reduced in size.

The problem underlying the independent inventive solutions can be taken from the description.
