DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of a stamp device 10 according to the present embodiment. A dial 14 for selecting input characters is provided on the upper surface of the housing 12 of the stamp device 10, and hiragana, alphabets, numerals, symbols, and the like are printed along the circumference thereof. In the center of the dial 14, a button 16 for confirming the character selected by rotating the dial 14 is formed.

Further, on the upper surface of the housing 12, a keyboard section 18 provided with a numeric keypad, a perforation start key, a clear key, a power switch and the like is arranged. A display unit 20 for displaying dialed characters, a format, a message, and the like is arranged on the side of the keyboard unit 18, and is configured by, for example, a liquid crystal display or a plasma display.

The housing 12 is made of a material such as resin, for example, and has a shape that covers the chassis 22 from above, that is, a shape in which the bottom surface of the hexahedron is opened. The housing 12 is attached to the chassis 22 in a vertically movable manner by a well-known method (not shown).

The chassis 22 has three side walls 22a, 22
b, 22c. In addition, inside the housing 12, an ink pad holder 24 having a locking piece 24a at the tip is assembled integrally with the housing 12. Then, the ink pad 26 is detachably attached to the locking piece 24a of the ink pad holder 24 from the side without the side wall of the chassis 22, that is, from the lower left direction in FIG. Therefore, when the housing 12 is pushed from above, the housing 12 and the ink pad 26 move up and down integrally with the chassis 22 in the direction of arrow A in FIG.

On the side wall 22b of the chassis 22, a stencil supply spool 28, a stencil take-up spool 30, and a platen 32 are rotatably supported.

The thermal head 34 is a stencil sheet 36 for stencil printing.
The hole is selectively pierced by heat melting, and is swingably mounted around a shaft 38 attached to the side wall 22a of the chassis 22. Normally, the heating end of the platen 32 is formed by a known means (not shown).
The stencil sheet 36 supplied from the stencil supply spool 28 is pressed against the stencil sheet.

A stencil printing paper 36 is supplied from a stencil supply spool 28 by a stencil take-up motor 40 and a drive mechanism (not shown).
It is configured to be wound up. The stencil printing paper 36 passes between the thermal head 34 and the platen 32 and is guided by guide rollers 42, 44 and 46, and the stencil take-up spool 30 is positioned so that the stencil printing surface is located directly below the ink pad 26. Is wound up.

On the other hand, by operating the release lever 48 which is swingably mounted on the chassis 22, the thermal head 34 and the platen 32 which are normally brought into close contact with the stencil sheet 36 as described above are not shown. It is released by known means to facilitate replacement of the stencil sheet 36.

Next, the control means of the stamp device 10 is shown in FIG.
This will be described with reference to FIG.

The control means is a well-known CPU 50, RAM 5
2, a ROM 54 and the like.
0 is connected to the keyboard 18 as input means. The display unit 20, the thermal head 34, and the stencil winding motor 40 are connected to the CPU 50 via a display control circuit 56, a thermal head control circuit 58, and a motor control circuit 60, respectively.

A ROM 54 stores a program memory 62 storing a processing program to be described later, for example, a plurality of characters necessary for printing various stamped surfaces such as fixed phrases commonly used as shown in FIG. And symbols
A stamp data memory 64 or the like is provided which stores stamp data consisting of characters or two-digit identification codes such as "11" and "12" corresponding to various stamp faces.

The RAM 52 has an input buffer 66 for storing an identification code for calling a stamp corresponding to the data input from the keyboard section 18, and temporarily stores stamp data read from the ROM 54 for transmission to the thermal head 34. A work memory 68 and various registers and buffers are provided.

Next, an operation for creating a stamp surface in the stamp apparatus 10 configured as described above will be described with reference to FIGS.

First, when the power is turned on, the input buffer 66 is turned on.
And the like are cleared, and a state of waiting for key input is entered (step S1, hereinafter simply referred to as S1, and the same applies to other steps). When a numeric key corresponding to an identification code of a stamp to be called, for example, a stamp shown in FIG. 4A is pressed by the ten keys of the keyboard unit 18 (S2), the numeric data is input as call data of predetermined stamp data. Stored in the buffer (S
3), and return to the key input waiting state again (S1).

After inputting an identification code for calling out predetermined stamp data, pressing the punching start key (S5) checks whether stamp data corresponding to the identification code stored in the input buffer exists (S6). If it exists, the stamp data corresponding to the identification code is read from the stamp data memory 64 of the ROM 54, and a punching operation is performed based on the stamp data (S8). Note that the input
Stamp data corresponding to the identification code stored in the file
If no is present, the punching operation is not performed.

When a different stamp is to be punched, the input buffer is cleared by pressing the clear key (S9), the input buffer is cleared (S10), and key input is awaited again (S1). Input the identification code of the stamp face shown in FIG.

Next, a series of punching operations and a method of using the stamp device will be described with reference to FIG.

When the piercing operation is started, the stencil printing paper 3
Reference numeral 6 denotes a stencil take-up spool 30 which winds the thermal head 34 and the platen 32 at a constant speed so that the thermal head 34 selectively generates heat in accordance with the stamp data read from the ROM 54. Perforate. After the perforation, the stencil printing paper 36 is fixedly wound by the stencil winding motor 40 until it is located immediately below the ink pad 26, and then stopped.

After the perforation, in order to print the stamped surface, the ink impregnated in the ink pad 26 presses the housing 12 which operates integrally with the ink pad 26 so that the perforated hole of the stencil printing paper 36 is formed. It can be carried out by passing through and further penetrating the printing paper 70.

As is clear from the above description,
According to the stamp device 10 of the present embodiment, for example, a stamp surface having a high degree of use can be called by inputting a simple identification code. Therefore, when an imprint of a frequently used fixed phrase or fixed phrase is to be made, there is no need to perform complicated key operations and it is not necessary to increase the size of the apparatus.

Further, it is not necessary to have stamps corresponding to the number of stamp faces, so that the space is not required and the cost can be saved. In addition, you can easily create the stamp you want by simply entering the identification code corresponding to the desired stamp and pressing the perforation key, so you do not need the delivery time from ordering the stamp to obtaining it, and create it immediately You can use stamps efficiently.

The present invention is not limited to the embodiment described in detail above, and can be modified without departing from the scope of the invention. For example, in this embodiment, one identification code corresponds to the entire stamp surface. However, an identification code is given to each one-half or one-third unit of the stamp surface, and these are combined and called. Thus, it is also possible to form one stamped surface. At this time, the contents of the partial seal face may be a frequently used phrase or a single character such as a brush.

[0034]

As is apparent from the above description, according to the stamp apparatus of the present invention, for example, a stamp surface with high use can be called by simple code input. Therefore, when an imprint of a frequently used fixed phrase is to be made, there is no need to perform complicated key operations and it is not necessary to increase the size of the apparatus. Also, the input code is stored in the storage unit.
If the code does not correspond to the stamp data
Since the punching operation is not performed, a malfunction can be prevented.
