When the distal ends of the handles 4A and 4B are closed, the protrusion 12 of one handle 4A is pressed against the elastic body 14 of the other handle 4B to compress and deform the elastic body 14. When the pressing force is released after the stamping operation, the distal ends of the handles 4A and 4B are opened by the restoring force of the elastic body 14, and the sheet 30 is released.

When the stamp device 1 is not used, the regulating plate 24 constituting the stopper mechanism 23 is erected, and the hook-like portion 28 is hooked on the engaging pin 22, so that the upper end edge of the regulating plate 24 becomes the support wall of the handle 4A. The parts 21 and 21 are in a state of abutment. As a result, the front ends of the handles 4A, 4B are kept open at a predetermined angle, so that the opposing stamps 2A, 2B do not abut.

In the above embodiment, each handle 4A,
Stamps 2A and 2B are attached to the front end of 4B, respectively, and are simultaneously stamped on the front and back surfaces of sheet 30. Instead of stamp 2B, a relatively soft material such as rubber or leather is used. If a sheet supporting surface is formed by mounting a sheet material made of such a material, a configuration is possible in which only one surface of the sheet 30 can be stamped. In such an embodiment,
After inserting the seat between the tips of the handles 4A and 4B,
When the holder 3 is pressurized to close the end between the handles 4A and 4B, the stamped surface 11A of the stamp 2A is pressed against the front surface of the sheet while the back surface of the sheet is supported on the sheet support surface.
