Description

The invention relates to a stamp, in particular tripod stamp, as described in the preambles of claims 1 or 4.

From the EP 0 804 344 B1 , US 2 312 727 A and the US 3,779,164 A. is a stamp with overlap coloring, also known as a self-inking stamp, is known which has a metal receiving frame for an impression unit, which is guided in side parts of the receiving frame. A lower part made of plastic is placed over the receiving frame. The impression unit can be adjusted via a turning mechanism from a rest position, in which ink is received by a cushion arranged in a stamp pad, into an impression position against a spring force by means of a bow-shaped upper part. The bow-shaped upper part in turn has a reinforcement bracket made of metal on the inside. Furthermore, spring elements for the return of the upper part to the rest position are in the middle of the bow-shaped upper part and in the center of the lower part on both sides of the bracket. To fix the upper part to the lower part, locking elements are arranged in the lower part, which engage in a recess on the outside of the bow-shaped upper part.

Such a structure of a tripod stamp by the applicant has, in contrast to the further prior art, such as the US 2009/0255427 A , of the AT 501 318 B and the DE 202010007577 U no central spar between the upper part and lower part. In the further state of the art, the central stringer receives the spring element, so that spring elements are no longer arranged on the side parts of the bow-shaped upper part. In this prior art, it is also not possible to speak of a bow-shaped upper part, since the central strut forms a central web on the two side webs. The main disadvantage of the tripod stamp with central spar is that there is no space for the arrangement of a viewing window and thus the pattern of the stamp imprint is offset and extends to the side surface of the lower part.

The object of the invention is to provide a stamp create, in which an improved stability of the stamp parts is created to increase the impression quality. At the same time, a simple structure should be achieved. Another task is to enable the stamp to be customized as late as possible.

However, the object of the invention is also achieved by a stamp, in particular a tripod stamp, in which the grip element is formed from at least two different materials, one material being designed to absorb compressive forces, the grip element comprising several parts, in particular from two parts is formed, wherein the first part is a base body and the second part is designed to be plugged onto the base body, and that the base body is formed entirely from the elastic material.
It is advantageous here that damping for the stamping process is produced in a simple manner. The material used can influence the damping properties, in particular the force from which the elastic material is deformed. A major advantage of using a damping is that when the components are subjected to a certain force, they are activated and can therefore absorb and absorb any force that is still present. This prevents damage to the component, in particular bending of metal parts.

An embodiment in which the grip element is formed from a base body and a cap that can be attached to it is advantageous. As a result, a part, in particular the clip-on cap, can be used for the individualization of the stamp, i.e. the user can choose the color of the cap.

However, a design is also advantageous in which the cap has a front surface for labeling by printing or lasering. This ensures that further customization is made possible by printing or lasering the front surface.

Furthermore, the object of the invention is achieved by a stamp, in particular a tripod stamp, in which the grip element is attached to the upper part in a resiliently elastic manner via a damping device for absorbing compressive forces, the damping device being made of a spring or also filled with liquid or gas Shock absorber is formed, the damping device being guided or fastened on the one hand in the base body of the handle element and on the other hand being mounted or fastened in the fastening socket, the fastening socket being connected to a plastic part of the upper part.
It is advantageous here that excess force acting upon the stamping device is absorbed by the damping device and damage to the stamp is avoided. It is possible that a shock absorber can be used as the damping device, which can have different damping properties. Thus, a small damping effect can be set or present even with a small force if a corresponding shock absorber is used, that is, a corresponding damping characteristic is used.

An embodiment is advantageous in which the grip element is made of an elastic material for absorbing compressive forces and this serves as a damping device
However, an embodiment is also advantageous in which the grip element is formed from a base body and a cap that can be attached to it. This ensures that a wide variety of caps with different colors and / or shapes can be used.

However, an embodiment is also advantageous in which the cap has a front surface for labeling by printing or lasering. This increases the degree of customization.

The invention is subsequently described in the form of exemplary embodiments, it being pointed out that the invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiments and solutions illustrated and described.

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

In the 1 to 24 shows a stamp 1, in particular a tripod stamp 1, which comprises at least one stamp component 2 and an impression unit 3.

The stamp component 2 consists at least of an upper part 4 with a grip element 5 and a lower part 6 with a cushion receiving element 7. The upper part 4 is preferably bow-shaped and has a longitudinal web 8 and two side elements 9, 10, the side elements 9, 10 in the lower part 6 are performed. The impression unit 3 is connected to the upper part 4 via a turning mechanism 11, in the lower part 6 in a motion-connected manner via an axis 12 or axle journal 12, so that the impression unit 3 in the lower part 6 moves from a rest position 13 according to Fig. 1 , in a printing or stamp position 14, according to Fig. 2 , can move by actuating the upper part 4, in particular by pressurizing the grip element 5. Of course, another construction is also possible, in which the upper part 4 is cap-shaped and receives the lower part 6 in the interior during a stamping operation, as is the case with plastic self-inking stamps, for example in the "Printy 4.0" from Trodat WO 2010/085828 A2 , the case is. In the rest position 12, a text plate 15 mounted on the impression unit 3 bears against a stamp pad 16 impregnated with stamp ink in the cushion receiving element 7, with the impression unit 3 with the text plate 15 via the turning mechanism 11 from the rest position 12 during a stamping process for producing a stamp impression a rotary movement in the stamp position 14 is adjustable or is adjusted, ie the impression unit 3 is rotated about the axis 12, for which purpose the turning mechanism 11 is provided, in which the impression unit 3 is rotated via a predetermined slide track 17. Such turning mechanisms 11 or rotary movements are already known in self-inking stamps 1 of this type, so that they will not be discussed in more detail. It is merely pointed out that a rigid slide track 17 is shown in the stamp 1 according to the invention, but a movable slide track (not shown) can also be used. Of course, an equivalent construction of the components with a so-called central spar, as is known from the prior art, would also be possible, ie the same or aliquot parts are used, but an additional central spar is used, in which a spring for resetting in the rest position 13 is arranged, with the stamp 1 shown being arranged in the side web 9, 10 and lower part 6.

In the illustrated stamp 1, a combination of metal parts 18 and plastic parts 19 is used, the metal parts 18 being arranged so as to be visible on the outside. The metal parts 18 are pushed over the plastic parts 19 and snap over a snap-in connection, so that when pressure is applied, the metal parts 18 absorb part of the pressure, that is to say that the metal parts 18 support the plastic parts 19 in terms of their rigidity, so that no bending of parts is possible, and thus an optimal impression with very high impression quality is achieved.
The advantage of using a metal / plastic combination is that the plastic parts 19 can be dimensioned smaller in terms of their wall thickness, since the metal parts 18 also absorb part of the acting forces.

The stamp 1 shown is constructed for the stamp component 2 in the form of a modular system, that is to say that the same parts of the stamp components 2 are used for the most varied designs of the stamp 1, for example tripod stamp 1 with a text plate and tripod stamp 1 with a MB unit (assembled belt set unit) 19c, the individualization only taking place when the impression unit 3 is inserted.

Such a solution according to the invention for individualizing the stamp 1 is shown in detail in FIGS 3 and 4 shown, the entire impression unit 3, in particular a text plate carrier 20 and / or the date unit or MB unit 19c, being arranged interchangeably with the axle 12 or the axle extensions 12 or axle journals, ie that not as in the prior art It is known that individual parts, in particular the MB unit 19c or the text plate 15, are arranged interchangeably, the text plate carrier 20 remaining in the stamp 1, but that in the solution according to the invention the entire text plate carrier 20 with the axis 12 or axially offset or stub axles are interchangeable.

To make this possible, the slide track 17 of the turning mechanism 11 has an exchange channel 21 in the lower part 6. In the exemplary embodiment shown, this exchange channel 21 is arranged in the upper region close to the cushion receiving element 7, this position corresponding to the change position 22 or exchange position for the ink pad 16 and the impression unit 3, that is to say that in this position the stamp is blocked by a lock 23 can be, so that it is no longer automatically returned to the rest position 13 and thus the impression unit 3 and / or the ink pad 16 can be exchanged without having to keep the stamp 1 pressed in this position. Of course, it is possible that another separate change position 22 for the impression unit 3 can be formed on the stamp 1, which has proven to be a further advantageous position at the end of the slide track 17 in the stamp position 14, since here the impression unit 3 can be exchanged downwards. The exchange channel 21 is preferably arranged in the upper region, in particular in a vertical region of the slide track 17, so that a simple interruption of the slide track 17 is possible and the risk of tilting of the axis 12 in the transition from the slide track 17 to the exchange channel 21 is as low as possible . Furthermore, it is achieved that the change position 22 and thus the position of the exchange channel 21 is arranged such that the text plate 15 arranged on the text plate carrier 20 is lifted off the ink pad 16 for the exchange of the text plate carrier 20. The exchange channel 21 extends in the upper region at an angle of 90 ° to the vertical end region of the slide track 17, ie that due to the 90 ° arrangement of the exchange channel 21 to the slide track 17 during the stamping process there is no danger that the impression unit 3 will jump into the exchange channel 21 independently or can be distracted.

It is therefore essential that the stamp component 2 has a changing position 22 for inserting the impression unit 3, the axes 12 or stub axles being assigned to the exchange channel 21 and thus the axes 12 or stub axles 12 being guided through the exchange channel 21 to the outside or into the stamp component 2 can be. So that the impression unit 3 cannot slide out of the slide track 17 during a stamping process, it is provided that the exchange channel 21 can be closed by a closure cap 24. In this case, the slide track 17 is interrupted by the exchange channel 21 without the closure cap 24, and when the closure cap 24 is fastened, the slide track 17 is closed all round, that is to say that the end of the closure cap 24 is designed such that it matches the course of the slide track 17, so that it is inserted State the slide track 17 is completely closed.

Furthermore, guide pins 25 for a receiving guide 26 on the text plate support 20 are arranged on the lower part 6 or on the turning mechanism 11. When inserting the impression unit 3 in the exemplary embodiment shown, the impression unit 3 is first pushed onto the guide pin 25 such that it slides in a receiving guide 26, whereupon the impression unit 3 with the laterally projecting axes 12 or stub axles 12 via the exchange channel 21 with a slight rotary movement is introduced until the axles 12 or stub axles on the Trigger slide 17. The caps 24 can then be used. The removal of the impression unit 3 takes place in the reverse order.

In the illustrated embodiment according to the invention Figures 3 and 4 An exchange of the entire impression unit 3 with the axis 12 or ash stub 12 is described, for which purpose the slide track 17 is interrupted so that it can be closed and in a change position 22 the impression unit 3 can be pulled out or inserted via the exchange channel 21. Of course, it is possible for the change position 22 or the exchange channel 21 to open at any point in the link path 17 or to be connected to it, around the entire impression unit 3, in particular the text plate carrier 20, with the axis 12 or the axle stub 12 exchange.

In the 5 and 6 on the other hand, an exemplary embodiment is described in which the impression unit 3 can be exchanged without interrupting the slide track 17. However, it is necessary for the axle 12 or axle stub 12 to be assembled or disassembled independently of the impression unit 3. In Fig. 6 the stamp component 2 is shown without metal parts 18 in order to be able to show the interior of the structure. As in Fig. 6 Clearly visible, a spring element 27 for the resetting is arranged outside a center 28 (shown in broken lines) of the upper part 4 and lower part 6, with the bow-shaped upper part 4 and / or the lower part 6, in particular in the metal parts 18 of the upper part 4 and / or Lower part 6), a closable axle change opening 29 for a continuous axle 12 or two axle journals 12 for the subsequent assembly of the text plate holder 20 is arranged. It is now possible that with appropriate positioning of the stamp component 2 in the corresponding change position 22, the axis 12 can be pushed in and out through the axis change opening 29, ie that the stamp 1 is brought into the change position 22 during assembly, whereupon the impression unit 3 is first positioned in the lower part 6 and then the axle 12 is pushed from the outside through the axle change opening 29 and the impression unit 3 and the axle change opening 29 is closed with a closure cap 24, the closure caps 24 being removed during disassembly after positioning in the change position 22 , whereupon the axis 12 is pushed outwards by the stamp component 2, so that the impression unit 3 can be removed after the axis 12 has been removed. It is also possible that none own closure cap 24 is used, but that the axis change opening 29 is positioned in such a way that it is closed with a component of the stamp 1. In this embodiment variant, too, a corresponding blocking position, which is activated via the blocking device 23, is preferably arranged.

By arranging the spring element 27 outside the center 28, the link path 17 of the turning mechanism 11 can be arranged in the center 28, so that a simple structure for the stamp component 2, in particular for the rotational movement of the turning mechanism 11, is made possible. An exchange of the impression unit 3 is thus also possible, since the spring element 27 does not cover the axis 12 in the slide track 17, as is known from the prior art for structures of this type with a bow-shaped upper part 4 without a central spar.

However, an embodiment (not shown) is also possible in which the spring element 27 is arranged in the center 28, but the link path 17 of the turning mechanism 11 and thus the axis 12 is arranged outside the center 28. At the same time, the axis change opening 29 is correspondingly arranged along the slide path 17, so that the axis 12 can be pushed in and out, so that the exchange opening 29 is also arranged outside the center 28.

In the two embodiments of the 3 to 6 It is advantageous that the stamp component 2 can be completed completely without the impression unit 3, the stamp 1 then being individualized by inserting the corresponding impression unit 3 with or without the MB unit 19c. A further advantage lies in the assembly of the text plate 15 on the impression unit 3, since this can be conveniently carried out directly on the impression unit 3 outside the stamp 1, in particular the stamp component 2.

However, if a stamp component 2 is used, in which, for example, the impression unit 3 cannot be easily assembled or disassembled subsequently, the handling of the assembly of the text plate 15 according to the exemplary embodiment according to the invention can be performed in Fig. 7 be significantly simplified.

For this purpose, the slide track 17 of the turning mechanism 11 is designed such that the text plate support 21 in the compressed state over a frame 30 of the Lower part 6 and / or a contact surface 31 of the stamp 1 is arranged. This position is preferably a blocking position, in particular a mounting position 32, for fixing the text plate 15 via the lock 23, that is to say that the stamp 1 is pressed together as far as the stop of the slide track 17, that is to say the end of the slide track 17, so that then a text plate mounting surface 33 of the text plate carrier 21 protrudes over the frame 30 and / or the contact surface 31 and the stamp component 2 can be fixed in this position by actuating the lock 23. By protruding beyond the text plate mounting surface 33, it is now possible in a simple manner that a protective film 35, as indicated schematically, can be removed from double adhesive tapes 34, since lateral access to the protective film 35 is easily possible. At the same time, the alignment of the text plate 15 for gluing is simplified since no webs, frames 30 or parts of the stamp 1 interfere with the handling.

Of course, it is also possible that this training is also described in the previous ones Figures 1 to 6 , in particular in the case of subsequent individualization by appropriately inserting the most diverse impression units 3, can be used or can be used. Furthermore, in this solution according to the invention, a self-releasing lock 23 is preferably used to simplify the assembly of the text plate 15, that is to say that after the stamp component 2 has been locked in the assembly position 32, the user or stamp making presses the stamp 1 briefly again, as a result of which the lock 23 is released and the stamp component 2 is moved back to the rest position 13.

So that the bow-shaped stamp 1 according to the invention with a 1 to 7 Lock 23 shown can be equipped in the upper part 4, it is necessary that the lock 23 according to the invention is constructed in such a way that a locking element, in particular the lock 23, with the locking component 36, which is connected to it in motion, for fixing the upper part 4 to the lower part 6 in is arranged in a defined position, the locking bracket 36 being arranged in the bow-shaped upper part 4, as shown in FIG Fig. 8 can be seen.

The plastic part 19 of the upper part 4 has a guide channel 37, into which the locking bracket 36 is inserted in the assembled state. The guide channel 37 is achieved by a U-shaped design of the plastic part 19 of the upper part 4, wherein this is completely or partially closed on the side webs 9, 10 by a receiving element 38. The receiving element 38 has a cavity (not shown) in which the spring element 27 is inserted from below, so that the receiving element 38 also serves as a guide for the spring element 27. Furthermore, the plastic part has openings 39 from which a locking hook 40 of the locking bracket 36 protrudes when the lock 23 arranged on the locking bracket 36 is activated, that is to say that when the lock 23 is not actuated, the locking hooks 40 in the plastic part 19 of the upper part 4, that is to say in the guide channel 37 are arranged, whereas when the lock 23 is actuated, the locking bracket 36 is rotated via molded pivot axes 41 and thus the locking hooks 40 are pivoted out of the openings 39 so that they can engage in the lower part 6 for fixing the stamp 1 in a corresponding position. So that such a rotary movement can be carried out, corresponding bearing elements for the pivot axes 41 are arranged in the plastic part 19 of the upper part 4, the locking bracket 36 only having to be inserted into the guide channel 37. The metal part 18 of the upper part 4 is then pushed onto the plastic part 19 of the upper part, the locking in the lower area taking place at the part at the openings 39, for which purpose the metal part 19 of the upper part 4 is designed accordingly in this area, ie the metal part 19 of the upper part 4 is shaped in the end region in such a way that it has a latching surface 42 which engages in a corresponding recess with an undercut (not shown) in the plastic part 19 of the upper part 4. Thus, the metal part 18 is pressed into the plastic part 19 of the upper part 4 and locked. So that the metal part 18 cannot be pressed into the guide channel 37 during a stamping operation with high force, a support groove 43 is arranged in the area of the guide channel 37 or in the contact area of the metal part 18, which can be positioned such that when the metal part 18 is in contact with the Plastic part 19 receives a wall thickness 44 of the metal part 18 and the plastic part 19 closes with the surface 4 of the metal part 19, that is to say that the plastic part 19 of the upper part 4 takes up completely.

Of course, it is also possible that the locking bracket 36 does not end in the upper part 4, but that it emerges in the lower region of the upper part 4 below from the upper part 4, so that it can engage in corresponding latching steps when the lock 23 is actuated (not shown).

Furthermore, the plastic part 19 of the upper part also has a fastening piece 44a for the grip element 5, with a recess in the metal part 18 of the upper part 4 for this purpose is arranged through which the fastening piece 44a can be inserted. The grip element 5 is formed from at least two different materials 45, 46, one material 45 being designed to be elastic to absorb compressive forces. In this case, the elastic material 45 for absorbing pressure force is arranged in the transition area to the upper part 4, so that in the case of a stamping process with excessive force, the stamp 1 is first pressed into the stamp position 14 and then the elastic material 45 is pressed together. It is thus achieved that a very high excess force can be absorbed by compressing the elastic material 45 on the grip element 5, so that the stamp components 2 do not suffer any damage.

As in Fig. 8 As can be seen, the grip element 5 is in several parts, in particular formed from two parts, the first part being a base body 47 made of the two different materials 45, 46 and the second part being able to be attached as a cap 48. The cap 48 is preferably configured differently from the remaining plastic parts 19, and preferably has a different color. Furthermore, the cap 48 has a special front surface 49, which can be labeled with a laser, the surface in this heated area changing due to the action of heat with the laser, and thus the stamp can be individualized or labeled. A plastic mixture with a color change is preferably used for this purpose. The lasering of the cap 48 can take place without the stamp component 2 and is then only plugged onto the assembled base body 47 of the stamp component 2.

With appropriate design and use of the elastic material 45, it is also possible for the base body 47 to be formed entirely from the elastic material 45 and for the further material 46 to form the cap 48. It is also possible for an extra part made of the elastically deformable and resettable material 45, in particular an intermediate insert (not shown), to be attached between the grip element 5 and the upper part 4, such that it is pushed onto the attachment piece 44 before the grip element 5 is attached, so that this element can then absorb excess force.

As in another embodiment according to Fig. 9 shown, it is also possible for the grip element 5 to be resiliently elastic via a damping device on the upper part is attached. The damping device can be formed from a spring or from shock absorbers filled with liquid or gas, the damping device 50 being guided or fastened on the one hand in the base body 47 of the grip element 5 and on the other hand being mounted or fastened in the fastening socket 44. The lower region of the base body 47 is preferably in turn formed with an elastic material so that the damping device is not blocked when the damping device 50 is compressed by impact. The elastic material 45 can be designed to support the absorption of force or only serve as a cover element that deforms without great force. Of course, it is also possible here that an intermediate insert (not shown) can be used.

In the 10 to 14 the individual parts of the stamp 1 according to the invention are shown. In particular, only the lower part 6 will be dealt with here, since the upper part 4 has already been discussed in detail in Fig. 8 and 9 has been described. For this purpose it should be mentioned that for better differentiation of the metal parts 18 and plastic parts 19 these are provided with the appendix a, b, with a defining parts of the upper part and b parts of the lower part.

How better now Fig. 10 can be seen, the stamp 1 has, in addition to the already known parts, a preferably transparent window element 51, which can be easily plugged onto the lower part 6, in particular onto the plastic part 19b, and is fastened by means of latching elements, in particular latching lugs 52. The window element 51 serves to allow a pattern impression (not shown) to be placed on a surface 53 of the plastic part 19b, after which the window element 51 is subsequently placed so that the user can recognize the pattern impression from above. It is also possible here that the window element 51 is connected to the lower part 6, in particular the plastic part 19b, via a swivel joint, so that the window element 51 can be opened and closed.

Furthermore, the stamp 1 or the stamp component 2 has an individualization surface 54. The individualization surface 54 is interchangeable, in particular pluggable, and is attached, for example, via a latching connection, in particular a latching hook 55 and a latching opening 56. It is also possible for the individualization surface to be constructed in several parts, so that, for example, an outer surface 57 is formed with a high-quality material such as platinum, gold, silver, etc., which is inserted into a frame (not shown) which is preferably made of plastic becomes. This has the advantage that the frame can be easily produced for the snap-in connection and the high-quality, cost-intensive area is designed to be as simple as possible.

However, the individualization surface 54 is preferably formed with a laserable plastic, as is used for the cap 48. The colors of the cap 48 and the individualization area 54 are preferably identical. The labeling or lasering with individual texts, logos, etc. takes place independently of the stamp component 2, so that it can then only be pressed on.

In the stamp 1 according to the invention, the window element 51 is designed such that it projects over a partial area through a window extension 58 of the front surface of the lower part 6. It is thereby achieved that when the customization surface 54 is used, the window element 51 covers the customization surface 54 and thus protects it from damage. Of course, it is possible for the window element 51 to be formed in two parts, one window element 51 being attachable for the pattern impression and the second window element 51 being used for the individualization area 54.

A plastic mixture with a color change has proven to be the preferred material for the customization area 54, since this changes the surface color during a laser process and can be engraved according to the wishes of the user. For this purpose, for example, the company logo, the name, the Internet address, etc. of a stamp dealer or the company logo, a product brand, etc. of the company using the stamp (s) can be arranged
Furthermore, it is possible for the individualization area 54 to have a cavity (not shown) in which a chip or other identification system can be arranged, so that a corresponding tracking is possible for special use of the stamp 1.

Due to the special subsequent individualization of the stamp component 2 by means of the individualization surface 54 and the cap 48, cost-effective order production with a quantity of 1 is possible, since the component 2 can be built in large quantities and subsequently the cap 48, the individualization surface 54 and the impression unit 3 can be used, ie that the stamp components 2 for subsequent individualization by attaching one or more replaceable elements, in particular an individualization surface 54, a cap 48 and an impression unit 3.

The only thing known from the prior art is that the cap 48 of the stamp 1 can be individually adapted and exchanged, whereas other parts or elements of the stamp component 2 only require great effort, namely directly during the production or in the assembled state of the stamp, can be printed or lasered, so that a so-called contract production with quantity 1 is only possible at high costs. If a part is printed or lasered after manufacture, it must be ensured during assembly that the correct parts are used, so that a very large source of error arises, which is avoided by the individualization afterwards, since the parts are in the assembled state of the stamp 1 attached and removed. When lasering or printing the stamp component 2 directly, the disadvantage is that a corresponding device and laser is required for this, in which the stamp 1 can be inserted.

As now further in Fig. 10 As can be seen, the stamp component 2 also has two contact elements 59, which are simultaneously designed to center and fix the metal part 18b in the plastic part 19b. The contact elements 59 have the contact area 31 on which the stamp 1 is placed, these, in particular the contact area 31, being designed to be non-slip. The contact element 59 also has a locking element 60 for fixing in the plastic part 19b. Furthermore, a guide mandrel 61 for the spring element 27 is arranged. The support element 59 is attached to the lower part 6 such that after the positioning of the metal part 18b on the plastic part 19b, the support element 59 is inserted from below into a recess 62 in the metal part 18b, whereupon the locking element 60 engages in locking openings (not visible). The contact elements 59 preferably have guide grooves 63, as in FIG Fig. 11 in which the metal part 18b is positioned and centered when inserted. At the same time, the guide mandrel 61 projects into a receiving channel 64 of the plastic part 19b.

The plastic part 19b of the lower part 6 also has an angled surface 66 which extends into an interior 65 and is of polished design. In order for good handling to be achieved with an MB unit 19c arranged on the impression unit 3, is a The central region 67 is tapered, ie the central region 67 has a smaller width 68 than in the upper or lower region. Because of this tapering, the user can easily grip the lower part 6, in particular the plastic part 19b and metal part 18b, with his thumb and forefinger and make an adjustment on the adjusting wheels of the MB unit 19c.

Furthermore is in Fig. 11 It can be seen that the cushion receiving element 7 is open at the bottom, that is to say in the direction of the interior 65 of the plastic part 19b, only one guide web 69 being arranged on both sides for guiding the stamp pad 16. On the opposite side is the fastening system for an ink pad patented by the applicant, according to the patent EP 2 384 283 B1 and EP 2 591 921 B1 arranged so that this is no longer discussed in detail. Here is in Fig. 11 of the plastic part 19b through an opening 70 an angular surface 71 with the means 72 arranged thereon for fixing the stamp pad 16 can be seen. The angular surface 71 is not continuous, but is interrupted, as can be seen. This is because when the stamp pad 16 is inserted or removed, the angular surface 71 can be pressed into the opening 70, which has proven to be an advantageous further development.

Due to the special design of the metal part 18b, a fastening element 73 is arranged on the upper side 53 within the side surface. The fastening element 73 corresponds to a pin 74 projecting upwards with a ramp 75. The pin 74 with the ramp 75 is designed to be deformable and can be pressed down into the interior 65. During assembly of the metal part 18b, due to the ramp 75, the metal part 18b pushes the pin 74 in the direction of the interior 65, wherein when the correct position of the metal part 18b is reached, the pin 74 snaps up and fixes the metal part 18b, that is to say that the metal elements of can be placed on the outside in the upper and lower parts 4, 6 formed of plastic and these are fixed to the upper and lower parts 4, 6 via the fastening system.

For this purpose, a corresponding fastening element 76 is arranged on the metal part 18b. As can be seen, the metal part 18b is no longer U-shaped, as is known from the prior art, but the metal part 18b has an O-shape 77 according to the invention, an upper side 78 of the O-shape 77 being interrupted, ie, that especially in upper region, that is to say on the upper side 78, the ends of the metal part 18b are directed towards one another and are fastened on the upper side 53 of the plastic part 19b.

In principle, it is possible for the metal part 18b to be closed completely in an o-shape 77 and for there to be corresponding recesses (not shown) in order to accommodate the upper part 4, in particular the upper side 53 of the plastic part 19b, the plastic part 19b being inserted laterally. However, care must be taken to ensure that no parts of the plastic part 19b, apart from the moveable fastening element 73, project beyond the metal part 18.

In the illustrated embodiment, however, the top 53 of the plastic part 19b is reinforced and protrudes beyond the metal part 18b, so that the O-shape 77 is interrupted on the surface 78 for easier assembly. At the same time, the fastening element 73 with the pin 74 and ramp 75 is arranged in the end region of the reinforced upper side 53, a guide web 79 being additionally arranged so that the metal part 18 can be pushed in underneath and is thus protected from being lifted off. At the same time, the resulting channel for the metal part 18 is closed by a web 81, so that the assembly, in particular the pushing of the metal part 18b onto the plastic part 19b, is only possible in one direction. This design has the advantage that the fastening system 73 can be of simple design since the assembly is always carried out from one direction only.

As in Fig. 11 As can be seen, the metal part 18b also has the taper 67, so that handling is provided with respect to an adjustment of an adjustment wheel of the MB unit 19c. As mentioned previously, there is in the lower region, which merges in a radius 82 from a lower side 83 into the vertical side surfaces 84, whereupon the metal part 18b in turn extends from the side surfaces 84 over the same or a different radius 82 to the upper side 78. On the underside 83 there is a large recess 85 for forming a stamp impression above the impression unit 3, ie that in the assembled state the impression unit 3 projects through the recesses 85 in the stamp position 14.

Furthermore, the recesses 62 for the support element 59 are arranged in the transition area from the bottom 83 to the side surfaces 84, so that the latter can be inserted and fixed.

In order now to connect the upper part 4 to the lower part 6, receiving openings 86 are arranged in the transition area between the side surfaces 84 and the upper side 78, through which the bow-shaped upper part 4 can be inserted into the receiving channel 64 through the metal part 18b, or is positioned therein. The receiving channel 64 is designed such that on the one hand the bow-shaped upper part 4 is arranged and on the other hand receives the spring element 27 for the automatic return to the rest position 13. At the same time, locking recesses 87, into which the locking hook 40 engages, are arranged in the receiving channel 64 for the locking via the lock 23 at the corresponding positions. With the stamp 1 according to the invention, three locking recesses 87 and thus three locking positions are possible, in which the stamp 1 can be fixed.

The stamp 1, in particular the stamp component 2, is assembled, for example, by first assembling the upper part 3, for which purpose the locking bracket 36 with the lock 23, in particular the locking button, is inserted into the plastic part 19a, whereupon the metal part 18b is pushed on is locked and correspond. Subsequently, the base body 47 of the grip element 5 is placed on the fastening piece 44, so that the upper part 4 is fully assembled with the grip element 5 mounted. In the lower part 6, the metal part 18b is pushed over the plastic part 19b, so that the metal part 18b engages on the upper side 53 of the plastic part 19b. The two support elements 59 are then pushed into the recesses 62 from below and additionally center and fix the metal part 18b in the plastic part 19b, the guide pin 61 projecting into the receiving channel 64 closed by the metal part 18b. The spring element 27 is now inserted from above through the receiving opening 86 into the receiving channel 64 and in the process inserted on the guide mandrel 61. Finally, only the upper part 4 is inserted through the receiving recess 86, the spring element 27 being received in the receiving element 38.

So that the upper part 4 cannot simply be pulled out of the receiving channel 64, a guide system 88 is provided for this purpose, which is formed from a guide track 89 in the receiving channel 64 and a guide knob (not visible) on the upper part 4, in particular on the plastic part 19a, the Guide knobs are preferably resiliently elastic so that they deform or dodge when inserted. When assembling the upper part 4 with the lower part 6, the upper part 4 becomes a certain amount of force is pressed in the direction of a contact surface 91, so that the guide knob snaps into the guide track 89, in which the upper part 4 can then move, the guide track 89 being delimited by two end stops 92. It is thereby achieved that the upper part 4 cannot simply be pulled out of the guide channel 64.

Of course, it is also possible for the stamp 1 to be equipped without the guide system 88, so that the upper part 4 is simply inserted into the receiving channel 64. The upper part 4 can then be fixed by actuating the lock 23 until an impression unit 3 is inserted. In such a system for exchanging the impression unit 3, it is necessary that the upper part 4 is decoupled from the impression unit 3, for which purpose a corresponding receiving channel 90 for the axis 12 or axle stub 12 is arranged in the upper part 4, that is to say that in the change position 22 the exchange channel 21 in the lower part 6 and the receiving channel 90 in the upper part 4 are arranged on the same plane, so that the axis 12 can be pushed in and is arranged in the receiving channel 90 for fixing the upper part 4 with the lower part 6. If the exchange channel 21 is closed, the upper part 4 is coupled to the lower part 6 via the impression unit 3.

By assembling the upper part 4 with the lower part 6, the assembly of the stamp component 2 is completed. Subsequently, the stamp component 2 can be customized according to the wishes of the customer by using a cap 48 selected by the customer, a correspondingly selected individualization surface 54 and the desired impression unit 3, so that the stamp 1 is constructed. It is thus possible for the first time that the stamp component 2, the impression unit 3, the cap 48 (without labeling or lasering) and the individualization area 54 can be produced in large numbers, but can then be put together as desired for the individualization. In particular, the cap 48 and the customization surface 54 can be simply printed or lasered and subsequently used, so that order processing in a quantity of 1 is made possible.

In the 14 to 17 the design of the ink pad 16 is shown and described, wherein, as previously mentioned, the fastening system according to the invention of the applicant is used. In this case, the stamp pad 16 comprises at least one carrying device 93 for receiving a pad 94 soaked with ink, the carrying device 93 on one side, in particular the side that is assigned to an impression unit 3 in the stamp 1, is open and the carrying device 93 has a handle element 96 on a long side 95 for positioning in the stamp 1 or removal from the stamp 1. As can also be seen, an angled surface 98 with means 99 arranged thereon for fastening in the stamp 1 are arranged over a partial region of the narrow sides 97.

According to the invention, it is now provided that the stamp pad 16 on the long side 95 on which the grip element 96 is arranged has a touch guard 100 which extends over an upper edge 101 of the open carrying device 93. The contact protection 100 corresponds to an extension of the long side 95. This ensures that when the ink pad 16 is inserted, as in FIG Fig. 14 It can be seen that the contact protection 100 extends in the direction of the interior 65 of the lower part 4, so that access to the cushion 94 is made more difficult and thus the contact protection 100 protects against contamination with ink. This is particularly advantageous if the stamp 1 is pressed together and the user wants to make an adjustment in the interior 65 on the adjusting wheels 102 of the MB unit 19c, since the user no longer points to the pillow with the fingers, in particular with the back of the fingers 94 can reach. In Fig. 14 For this purpose, the MB unit 19c is designed as a date with central adjustment 103, so that four adjustment wheels 102 are present, the stamp 1 being shown in the rest position 13, in which the MB unit 19c and the text plate 15 (not visible) on the cushion 94 of the ink pad 16 for ink absorption.

On the opposite side of the stamp 1, the protection is formed, for example, by the customization area 54. The individualization surface 54 and the touch guard 100 preferably protrude equally far in the direction of the contact surface 91. Another advantage of the touch guard 100 is that when the user pulls out or plugged in and holds the stamp pad 16, the finger no longer slides into the pad 94, since the touch guard 100 extends sufficiently far over the upper edge 101.

Furthermore, the stamp pad 16 has one or more guide and / or stop grooves 102a on the outside of the carrying device 93 (according to FIG Fig. 15 ) so that when the stamp pad 16 is inserted into the pad receiving element 7, the stamp pad 16 is guided and / or limited on the one hand, that is to say that in the stamp 1 Corresponding corresponding projections (not shown) are arranged so that when the stamp pad 16 is pushed in, these projections serve as a stop and the stamp pad 16 cannot be pushed too far into the cushion receiving element 7. As a result, a positioning of the stamp pad 16 is formed via the guide and / or stop grooves 102a and the projections. It is also possible to arrange the means in reverse, ie to arrange the guide and / or stop grooves in the stamp and the projections on the stamp pad 16.

In the 18 to 23 An exemplary embodiment of the stamp 1, in particular a tripod stamp 1, is described and shown for the first time with a closure cap 104, wherein in Fig. 18 the stamp 1 is cut and is shown without the closure cap 104 but in the position with the closure cap 104.

The closure cap 104 comprises at least one plate-shaped cover cap 105 with protruding side walls 106, the cover cap 105 being able to be pushed onto the underside of the lower part 6 of the stamp 1 and the side walls being designed to be fixed to the stamp 1, that is to say that the closure cap 104 is no longer like is known from the prior art, is placed on the stamp, but that the cap 104 is pushed. For this purpose, the stamp 1 is first brought into the stamp position 14, whereupon the closure cap 104 is laterally pushed onto the lower part 6, so that the cover cap 105 protects the text plate 15 and the side walls 106 cover the interior 65 of the lower part 6 and at the same time without actuating the lock 23, the stamp 1 is held in this position, in particular the stamp position 14, by the closure cap 104.

Covering the interior 65 has the advantage that, as a result, no dirt can get to the open cushion 94 soaked with paint. At the same time, it is also avoided that a user can reach into the interior 65. Of course, it is also possible for the side walls 106 to protrude only slightly to the side on the lower part 6 in order to enable the closure cap 104 to be pushed on.

In order that such a solution of the closure cap 104 according to the invention is possible, a corresponding holding system 107 is arranged for this purpose. The holding system 107 has a support surface 109 or notch in the interior 108 of the closure cap 104, whereas holding elements 110 are arranged on the text plate support 20 of the printing unit 3 are. The closure cap 104 preferably has the shape of the lower part 6 with the taper in the central region 67. In order to facilitate handling for the removal of the closure cap 104, cutouts 111 are provided on the cover cap 105, which are designed such that they correspond to the support element 59, so that when the user reaches into the cutouts, the user does not become dirty. It is thus possible that, when the closure cap 104 is pushed on, in order to remove the closure cap 104, the user turns the stamp 1 and reaches into the recesses 111 with the thumb and forefinger of one hand, whereupon he then pulls the closure cap 104 out laterally simply and securely. It is also possible here for the recess 111 to have a bottom surface (not shown) formed on the cover cap 105 via side walls, so that the user can no longer come into contact with the text plate 15 when engaging in the recess 111. How better out Fig. 23 can be seen, the closure cap 104 can also have a support surface 112 on which the lower part 6 can be placed.

Of course, it is also possible that the fastening of the closure cap 104 can be constructed in reverse, for which purpose the holding element 110 is arranged, for example, on the closure cap 104 and corresponding notches 109 are present on the text plate carrier 20, into which the holding elements 110 engage when the closure cap 104 is pushed on. A secure hold of the closure cap 104 on the stamp 1 is thus ensured. In addition, it is possible that the closure cap 104 can also be pushed on without the impression unit 3, the stamp component 2 holding in the stamp position or in a closure position due to the shape. It is also possible for the support surface 109 or the holding element 110 to be arranged on the stamp component 2.

So that the text plate 15 can be optimally aligned, it is possible that the double-sided adhesive tape 34 is provided with a grid 113 (indicated schematically), so that after the double-sided adhesive tape 34 has been applied to the text plate mounting surface 33, the text plate 15 can be easily positioned and glued in accordance with grid 113. When used with a double-sided adhesive tape 34, it has been found that the positioning of the double-sided adhesive tape 34, which is purchased with the grid 113, is very complex since it has to be aligned exactly.

Another solution, as in the WO 2014/172738 A1 has the disadvantage that only special transparent double-sided adhesive tapes 34 can be used here, so that the transparent double-sided adhesive tape 34 allows viewing of the grid 113 of the lasered text plate mounting surface 33. Another disadvantage is that very thin lines can no longer be recognized by the application of a double-sided adhesive tape 34.

According to the invention, the double-sided adhesive tape 34, in particular a so-called self-adhesive stamped part (self-adhesive tape stamped part) for attaching the text plate 15, with the two adhesive layers 114 and a transparent or non-transparent carrier medium 115, as in FIG Fig. 7 schematically visible, applied to the text plate mounting surface 33, whereupon the grid 113 is then generated by lasering the carrier medium 115 via a laser device (not shown). This advantageously means that any double-sided adhesive tape 34 can be used with or without a transparent carrier medium 115, the gluing onto the text plate mounting surface 33 taking place without alignment and then the grid 113 corresponding to the text plate mounting surface 33 being aligned.

When using an impression unit 3 according to the invention, the double-sided adhesive tape 34 is glued directly onto the text plate mounting surface 33, whereupon the entire impression unit 3 is inserted into a receiving element of a laser device and the grid 113 is aligned accordingly. It is also possible that labels (not shown) can be arranged in addition to the grid 113.

It is also possible aliquot that, before the double-sided adhesive tape 34 is glued on, the grid 113 is applied directly to the double-sided adhesive tape 34 by lasering and then the double-sided adhesive tape 34 is glued on. This has the advantage that a double-sided adhesive tape 34 with an opaque carrier medium 115 is used and any raster 34 and any labeling can be applied as if a double-sided adhesive tape 34 already provided with raster 113 were used. So that an optimal lasering can take place, it is possible that the double-sided adhesive tape 34 is first glued onto a carrier material (not shown), then the carrier medium 115 is lasered, whereupon the double-sided adhesive tape 34 is peeled off and stuck onto the text plate mounting surface 33.

Another advantage of lasering such an SB stamped part 34 or double-sided adhesive tape 34 is that the text plate mounting surface 33 is not damaged or soiled, so that a secure hold is ensured. When lasering directly on the surface, the action of heat can lead to unevenness, which means that it is no longer ensured that the double-sided adhesive tape 34 lies on the entire surface. Furthermore, it is possible that instead of a grid 113, other shapes for positioning and centering the text plate 15 can be used. Rectangles are preferably used which correspond to the standardized text plate sizes. For this purpose, the size information can also be applied to the carrier medium 115, so that a simple orientation is achieved.

An essential part of the figures described above according to the invention corresponds to the impression unit 3 for a stamp 1 as described, the impression unit 3 comprising a text plate carrier 20 for receiving a text plate 15 and / or an MB unit 19c, the text plate carrier 20 having a receiving guide 26 for receiving a guide pin 25 of the stamp 1 and a preferably usable or fixed axis 12 or axle pin 12 or stub shaft for forming a rotary movement in the stamp 1, and the impression unit 3 can be used as such and / or exchangeable for a stamp component 2 of the stamp 1 is trained. The text plate carrier 20 can be equipped with different components, in particular for the date or IBAN, with a chip, RFID, stamp counter, etc., for which purpose corresponding holding elements and / or receptacles are arranged on the text plate carrier 20. Described and shown here is only an embodiment for an MB unit 19c as a date or as plain text plates, that is to say that a wide variety of structures of the impression unit 3 are possible, which can be used in the stamp component 2, with an electronic embodiment of the impression unit 3 also being used for this purpose is possible. If no continuous axis 12 is used, but only stub axles or journals, the text plate support 20 can be constructed in a U-shape, the space between the two outer legs being arbitrary. As already described in detail above, the impression unit 3 is designed for insertion or removal via the exchange channel 21 of the stamp component 2 The text plate carrier 20, in particular a text plate mounting surface, is preferably designed with a so-called TPO attachment (Text Plate Only attachment) for the text plate. For example, the text plate 15 can be fastened to the impression unit 3 on a carrier plate, the carrier plate being positioned on the impression unit, in particular on the text plate carrier, by means of a fastening system with frictional engagement, wherein preferably several elevations are provided on the carrier plate, which engage in corresponding recesses or receptacles and the connection is made via the friction of the surfaces between the elevations and the receptacles.

In the construction described above, a stamp 1 is essentially formed from two different materials, in particular the metal parts 18, 18a, 18b and the plastic parts 19, 19a and 19b. The metal parts 18, 18a, 18b are formed by a brushed or chromed or polished steel, whereas the plastic parts 19, 19a and 19b, in particular the upper part 4 and the lower part 6, are made from recycled plastic, ABS, POM or the like. In particular, a polymer of the PA type can be used as the handle material, an ABS type can be used for the side parts, a simple or meterable cylinder filled with liquid or gaseous medium being used for the shock absorber.

Due to the structure, it is also possible for the metal parts 18, 18a, 18b to be replaced by a replacement plastic part 117, as in FIG Fig. 24 evident, to be replaced. The replacement plastic parts 117 are preferably produced with a different color than the plastic parts 19, 19a and 19b of the upper parts 4 and lower parts 6, in order in turn to achieve a corresponding design. As a result, the production costs can be significantly reduced, so that a so-called cheap rail can be produced, which, however, has all the options of the stamp 1 consisting of metal and plastic.

In Fig. 25 A further embodiment variant is described in which a removable and exchangeable individualization surface 54 is no longer used, but a side surface 120 shown is preferably formed in one piece by the plastic part 19b of the lower part 6. The window element 51 is designed such that it extends from the surface of the lower part 6 at least over a partial area of the side surface 120 of the lower part 6, a space being arranged between the window element 51 and the lower part 6, in which a cardboard insert 121 can be inserted. The window element 51 is preferably supported in the edge region on the lower part 6, the free space for the cardboard insert 121 being formed therebetween, that is to say between the lower part 6 and the window element 51.

In order now to achieve an individualization of the stamp 1, the cardboard insert 121 extends from the top 122 to the side surface 120, that area on the side surface 120 being arranged, for example, by a colored printing area 123 which corresponds to the remaining individualization elements, in particular the handle element 5 is customizable. It is also possible that both the upper area on the top 122 of the cardboard insert and the area on the side surface 120 can be printed. A company logo of the customer can preferably be printed on the area of the side surface 120, in particular in the printing area 123.

It is also possible for the window element 51 to have two separate free spaces or insert areas, in particular one free space or insert area for the upper side 122 and one free space or insert area for the side surface 120. The cardboard insert 121 is then also divided into two and is inserted once in the upper free space or storage space for the upper side 122 and one in the lateral free space or insert area for the side surface 120. In principle, it is possible that one or both areas on the window element 51 are provided with guide slots (not shown) or the like for inserting the cardboard inserts 121, so that the cardboard insert 121 is simply pushed in. It has preferably been found that arranging in the area for the side surface 120 with such guide slots is advantageous since the cardboard insert 121 is thereby inserted laterally, and thus the cardboard insert 121 cannot fall out when the window element 51 is placed or removed.

Furthermore, in the 26 and 27 an embodiment variant shown, in which a new handle element 5 is used on the stamp 1. The difference to that in Fig. 8 described grip element 5 is that the grip element 5 now consists of three different individual parts in order to achieve a greater variety of possible variations in the color design.

The first part is formed as a base body 124, on which there is a fastening means 125 for fastening to the stamp 1. The attachment can be done by simply plugging and / or latching on the bow-shaped upper part 4 or it is also possible for a screw connection to be made through the bow-shaped upper part 4 in the base body 124. Furthermore, the base body 124 has one or more stiffening elements 126 in the interior, which can be used at the same time for fixing a further individual part.

In contrast to the embodiment in Fig. 8 the second individual part, namely a so-called frame element 127, is now attached or inserted to the base body 124, which is fastened via a cap 128, that is to say that the frame part 127 is simply or is positioned on the base body 124 and by plugging on the cap 128 Base body 124 is or is attached. For this purpose, corresponding stiffening and fastening means 129 are arranged on the cap 128, so that the cap 128 together with the frame element 127 is or is fastened to the base body by simply plugging it together

In the exemplary embodiment shown, the base body 124, that is to say the lower part of the handle, is placed on the bow-shaped upper part 4 from above and thus centered on the upper part 4 via the mandrel, which is preferably arranged in the center, with no locking on the mandrel in this exemplary embodiment. Subsequently, the cap 128, that is to say the upper part of the handle, is pushed into the lower part of the handle from the front and takes over the locking on the mandrel of the upper part 4, the base body 124 thus being clamped and fastened. However, before the upper handle part, ie the cap 128, is fastened, the frame element 127, which is designed as a decorative part, is latched onto the upper handle part, ie the cap 128.

Of course, it is also possible for the individual parts, in particular the frame element 127 and the cap 128, to be independently fastened to the base body 124 or the individual part arranged in front of them, ie that for example the frame element 127 and the cap 128 have corresponding latching elements, so that the individual parts only put on and lock in place.

It is also possible for the solution according to the invention to be formed in the form of different materials in order to achieve the damping effect and the individualization To achieve lasers. The base body 124 is formed entirely from the elastic material 45 and the further material 46 forms the cap 128.

In the Fig. 28 to 30 An exemplary embodiment of the structure of the lower part 6 is shown, the lower part 6 now being formed from three parts, namely the metal part 18b, the plastic part 19b and a cover plate 130. The metal part 18b is in turn o-shaped 77 so that it is attached to the surface 53 of the plastic part 19b. For this purpose, guide recesses 131 are provided on the surface 53, into which the two ends 132, 133 of the metal part 18b can be pushed, so that they rest and are positioned in the guide recesses 131. So that the metal part 18b is correctly positioned when the metal part 18b is pushed onto the plastic part 19b, a stop surface 134 is arranged on the surface 54 of the plastic part 19b, so that the metal part 18b can be pushed up to this stop surface 134. The ends 132, 133 have corresponding gradations in the contact area 135 to the stop surface 134, so that a positive fit is ensured.

Such a representation with the metal part 18b pushed onto the plastic part 19b is shown in FIG Fig. 29 shown, in which the cover plate 130 is not yet assembled. It can also be seen from this that the o-shaped metal part 18b rests on the surface 53 and is thus fastened, and not, as is known from the prior art, on the side surfaces of the plastic part.

To fasten the cover plate 130, the metal part 18b in turn has the receiving opening 86 through which corresponding fastening and positioning means can be inserted in order to snap into the plastic part 19b. For this purpose, latching elements 136 are arranged on the cover plate 130, corresponding latching openings 137 being arranged on the plastic part 19b, so that the latching elements 136 can be positioned or inserted into corresponding latching openings 137 on the plastic part 19b through the receiving opening 86. So that the frame, in particular metal part 18b, is correctly positioned, additional guide frames 138 are arranged on the cover plate 130, which rest against the edge of the receiving openings 86 and thus position the metal part 18b.

Furthermore, a recess 139 is arranged on the cover plate 130, which receives the stop surface 134 when the cover plate 130 is in place and thus creates a beautiful finish, such as this Fig. 30 can be seen, in which all three elements of the lower part 6, namely the metal part 18b, the plastic part 19b and the cover plate 130, are assembled. In the assembled state, it is also nice to see how the cover plate 130 fixes and embeds the metal part 18b on the surface 53. However, in order that the bow-shaped upper part 3, consisting of the metal part 18a and plastic part 19a, can be mounted on the lower part 6, the cover plate 130 has receiving openings 140 through which the upper part 3 is inserted so that it is fastened in the lower part 6 and a stamp 1 can be created according to the figures described above.

It can thus be said that, in contrast to the previously described embodiment, the metal part 18b is no longer connected or fastened directly to the plastic part 19b of the lower part 6, but rather that the metal part 18b of the lower part 6 is attached to the plastic part 19b of the lower part 6 via the cover plate 130 is fixed or connected.

Furthermore, in the 31 to 39 Further improved exemplary embodiments of the lock 23 are shown, the lock 23, in particular the locking bracket 36, being mounted via a return spring 145, so that the force of the return spring 145 on the lock 23 in the rest position of the stamp 1 in a defined position 146 in the lock 23 is inactive, is arranged.

In the shown stamp 1, the lock 23 is formed by a locking bracket 36, which is formed in the bow-shaped upper part 4 and for fixing the upper part 3 with the lower part 6 by the engagement of the locking hooks 40, but the inventive design of the lock 23 with a Return spring 145 can be used with other stamp assemblies, such as an office stamp with central spar, in which the lock is arranged in the central spar. The basic structure and function of the locking bracket 36 is the same as the previously described exemplary embodiments, so that it can be seen from this and is not repeated.

So that the use of the return spring 145 is possible, a receiving surface 146 is arranged on the lock 23, on which one end of the return spring 145 rests, the further end of the return spring 145 on a support surface 147 or in one piece with the Spring element 27, as described later, is formed. The receiving surface 146 can simply have a correspondingly large area for receiving the preferably round return spring 145, or, for example, a hemispherical elevation can be arranged on the receiving surface 146 for centering the return spring 145, which fits into the interior of the round return spring 145. It is also possible that elevations (not shown) are arranged around the receiving surface 146, so that the return spring 146 can be inserted therebetween and thus lateral guidance is provided.

The return spring 145 now ensures that the lock 23 in the inactive state, that is to say in the rest position, is always pressed or arranged in a defined position, that is to say that the return spring 145 locks the lock 23, in particular the locking bracket 36 against the support surface 147, preferably upwards, so that the locking hooks 40 are disengaged, in particular within the bow-shaped upper part 4. This prevents the lock 23 from automatically coming into engagement with the lower part 6 by a slight rotational or translational movement during a powerful stamping process and the stamp 1 from being locked by itself.

In the 32 to 38 an embodiment is now shown in detail, in which a spring 148 for the stamp 1 is formed in one piece and is formed by the spring elements 27 and the return spring 145, that is to say that the spring 148 is formed from two different areas with two different tasks, wherein the spring element 27 is responsible for the return of the stamp 1 to the rest position 13 and the return spring 145 the lock 23 is in a defined position in the upper part 4. As in Fig. 33 can be seen, the spring element 27 is formed over a length 149, whereas the return spring 145 has a length 150. Furthermore, the two areas, that is to say the spring element 27 and the return spring 145, have different turns, it being possible to set or define corresponding force ratios on the basis of the design of the turns.

Unlike the one in Fig. 31 shown locking bracket 36 has the locking bracket 36 in the 31 to 36 an enlarged receiving area 146 so that the return spring 145 can be better positioned. This also makes it possible to use additional aids for positioning, if this were necessary. The receiving surface 146 is arranged on the two side elements 151, whereas in the embodiment of the Fig. 39 the receiving surface 146 and the return spring 145 is arranged in the upper cross element 152 connecting the side elements 151. Furthermore, it can be seen from the illustration that the pivot axis 41 is also arranged on the side elements 151, via which the locking bracket 36 is pivoted or rotated when the lock 23 is actuated, so that the latching hooks 40 arranged at the end of the side elements 151 are adjusted or pivoted .

Out Fig. 33 it can be seen how the locking bracket 36 is installed in the lower part 6, the receiving surface 146 being arranged in the direction of the receiving element 38 of the spring element 27. So that the one-piece spring 148, consisting of the areas of the spring element 27 and the return spring 145, can be used, an opening 153 is arranged on the receiving elements 38, which corresponds to a diameter 154 of the return spring 145, whereas a diameter 155 of the spring element 27 is larger , so that the spring element 27 is supported in the region of the opening 153 of the receiving element 38, that is to say that an end face 156 of the receiving element 38 is formed with the opening 153 arranged therein for supporting the spring element 27, as shown in FIG Fig. 34 can be seen in which the spring 148 is installed.

In the 37 and 38 the operation of the spring-operated lock 23, in particular the locking bracket 36, can be seen. Here, in Fig. 37 an inactive position 157, in which the lock 23 is arranged in the rest position, is shown, whereas in FIG Fig. 38 an active position 158, in which the lock 23 has been actuated in the assembled state of the stamp 1, is in engagement with the lower part 6. It can be seen from the inactive position 157 that the return spring 145 of the spring 148 exerts a force on the receiving surface 146 in the direction of an arrow 159, so that the locking bracket 36 is pressed upwards in such a way that the latching hooks 40 are located within the upper part 4 and thus cannot come into engagement with the lower part 6. In the active position 158, the lock 23 was actuated so that, against the force of the spring 148, in particular the return spring 145, as shown by the arrow 159, the locking bracket 36 was pivoted about the pivot axis 41, so that the latching hooks 40 came out of the upper part protrude and lock in the assembled part 1 in the lower part 6 when the stamp 1 is pressed together accordingly.

Due to the forces acting on the return spring 145 and the spring element 27, the locking bracket 36 and the upper part 4 endeavor to move them into the inactive state Position 157 and is returned to the rest position 13, so that the locking hook 40 engages securely in the corresponding latching surfaces 42 and the stamp 1, in particular the upper part 4 to the lower part 6, is fastened or held in this position, as is shown schematically in FIG Fig. 38 is shown. It is possible that such a stamp 1 can have a plurality of latching positions.

To release the locking position, a so-called self-unlocking is carried out by simply pressing the punch 1 a little together, so that the latching hook 40 comes out of engagement with the latching surface 42 and thus, by the force of the spring 148, the locking bracket 38 is first automatically adjusted to the inactive position 157 and then the stamp 1, in particular the upper part 4 to the lower part 6, is placed in the rest position 16 when the user no longer exerts pressure on the stamp 1.

In the 40 to 43 An embodiment of a novel positioning frame 160 is shown, wherein in Fig. 41 a further variant of the positioning frame 160 with a positioning means 161, in particular a positioning ruler, is shown. It is possible that other positioning means 161 can also be shown that facilitate the positioning of the stamp 1.

The positioning frame 160 serves to reduce the size of an inner region 162 of the stamp 1, in particular of the frame 30, the positioning frame 160 for this purpose having a stamp opening 163 through which stamping can be carried out, for example, with the MB unit 19c. So that the positioning frame 160 can be attached to the stamp 1, the latter has a plurality of latching elements 164, so that the positioning frame 160 simply on the underside of the stamp 1, in particular on the frame 30, as in FIG Fig. 42 can be seen plugged on or plugged on. Furthermore, it is possible that a reinforcing strip 165 is arranged to improve the stability, which is arranged in the intermediate space, in particular inner region 162, of the frame 30.

It often happens with stamps 1 of this type that stamp 1 is used as a pure date stamp 1 with MB unit 19c, as a result of which stamp 1 is positioned with a very large stamp area, in particular inner area 162, which is usually used for a text plate 15 and the MB unit 19c is very difficult since only a small area, in particular only 1 line of the MB unit 19c is positioned must become. If, on the other hand, the positioning frame 160 is mounted, the stamp area, in particular the inner area 162, is reduced by the positioning frame 160 to the stamp opening 163 of the positioning frame 160, so that, for example, only this one date line has to be positioned, that is to say that the stamp area is reduced by plugging on the positioning frame 160 is made so that a simple positioning is possible due to the smaller punch opening 163, as shown in FIGS 42 and 43 can be seen.

Furthermore, the positioning frame 160 has the advantage that a wide variety of positioning means 161, such as rulers, arrows, etc., are printed on it or integrated directly on the component, so that very great assistance in positioning is achieved. It is also possible that in the case of smaller text plates 15, for example only one line, such a positioning frame 160 can be used for this area, in particular 2 lines for one line of the text plate and one line for the MB unit 19c Stamp opening 163 is adapted to it.

The position frame 160 therefore has the task of reducing the area between the frames 30, which is usually used completely for the size of the text plate 15, in order to be able to carry out an exact positioning of the stamp 1. The positioning frame 160 is preferably formed from a transparent material, so that the user can recognize the base when the stamp 1 is placed through the positioning frame 160, so that simple alignment is possible.

Since in the previously described embodiments Figures 1 to 43 a stamp 1 is formed from a combination of metal and plastic and the metal parts or metal elements 18, in particular the upper part 4 and lower part 6, are arranged in the visible area, i.e. on the outside of the stamp, they have a protective film on delivery from the manufacturer ( not shown). The protective film has the task that no fingerprints or other contaminations contaminate the metal parts 19 during the manufacture of the stamp 1. After receiving his stamp 1, the customer can simply remove this protective film by pulling it off. Such protective films can also be arranged on other parts, for example on the grip elements 5 or window element 51.

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