2. Description of the Related Art Name stamps of this type are classified into pre-printed printing bodies and ready-made products that can be used at the time of purchase, and stamped order type. In the face-to-face name stamping method, only the main case and the case part such as the cap are sold at the store, and the printing unit including the printed body with the surname or surname is received after receiving the purchase order from the user or the store. After processing, send only the printing unit to the user or the store, and have the user or the store assemble the printing unit in the main case.

The ready-made name stamps are convenient for immediate use, but in many cases, they are displayed and sold using a display stand that accommodates several thousand name stamps, so that the inventory burden on the dealer is large. The display stand occupies a large space in the store, which may make it difficult to secure the installation space, and the unsold name mark may deteriorate during long-term display.
Custom-made name stamps other than ready-made products were also indispensable, and the manufacturing cost of them was higher than that of ready-made products. In that respect, according to the sales form of the seal face ordering system,
It is unavoidable that it will take some time before delivery, but it can eliminate problems with existing name stamps. Furthermore, in areas or organizations where the surnames formed on the printed material are limited to several types, identification based on the surname alone does not make sense, but in such cases, the full name name mark or the graphically designed name mark is used. We can handle custom orders without any problems.

Regarding the stamp face-to-face name marking, the applicant has made it possible to assemble the printing unit into the main case without fail by the user's hand. A name mark constructed as a part was previously proposed (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2000-326).

It is composed of individual parts, and the main case is configured as one unit part by pre-installing the scar and spring between both cylinders, and the printing unit sent from the manufacturer is simply inserted into the main case. It was designed so that it could be assembled securely with a simple operation of loading.

[0005]

As described above, according to the name mark in which the main case, the skirt, and the spring are one unit component, even if the user does not have specialized knowledge, the main unit is the main unit. It can be assembled securely and securely to the case. The problem is that the upper case and the lower case make up the main case, and it is necessary to provide a cap that also functions as a grip separately from the main case, so the number of components of the case structure excluding the printing unit increases, and as many There was room for improvement in that molding dies became indispensable and the overall cost was high.

An object of the present invention is that the name mark is composed of a case unit and a printing unit, and the user can easily assemble the printing unit with respect to the case unit without fail. It is, of course, desirable to provide an ink-penetrating type name mark that can save the labor when assembling a name mark of an existing product. An object of the present invention is that a name mark is composed of a case unit and a printing unit, and particularly the case unit is a main case composed of a single component,
It is composed of a spring and a slide cylinder built in the inside, which reduces the number of components compared to the conventional case unit of this kind, and the ink penetration type name mark that can reduce the overall cost by that much To provide.
