INK PAD.

Application filed. February 27, 1925.

This invention relates to improvements in ink pads and has particular reference to ing also equipped with a hingedly connected.

cover, the base and cover being also provided with auxiliary ink reservoirs in the form of felt pads whereby the opposite faces of the pad can be readily supplied with ink by merely transferring the pad to the base or cover, thus causing contact with the ink saturated felt provided therein.

A further object is to produce a reversible pad which is economical to manufacture, simple in construction and one which will eliminate a soiling of the fingers in inking the pad or replacing the same in the container.

Other objects and advantages will be apparent during the course of the following description.

ln the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, and in which like numerals are employed to designate like parts throughout the same,

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the device constructed in accordance with by invention,

Figure 2 is a perspective view of the ink pad per se,

Figure 3 is a transverse vertical section through the container with the pad being shown in elevation,

Figure 4 is a cross-section through the pad, and

Figure 5 is a cross-section through the container showing the same in a closed position with the pad displayed therein in elevation.

In the accompanying drawings wherein for the purpose of illustration I have shown a .preferred embodiment of my invention, the numeral 6 designates a container as a Serial No. 12,154.

whole which is provided with a base member 7 and a cover 8.

Positioned in the cover and the base member is an ink reservoir in the form -of a length of felt, as indicated by the numerals 9 and 10, respectively.

The pad per se as indicated by the numeral 11, embodies in its construction a core 12 which has positioned on each side thereof a felt padding 13 and a felt padding 14C which are retained in position through the medium of a piece of connected fabric 15 and 16, which are the ink surfaces for a stamp or the like.

I propose to make a compact arrangement of the pad by providing a strip 17 which extends around the edges of the pad. In practise the inked pad is placed in the base of the container and thereafter used for the inking operation.

After the supply of ink on the exposed surface has been exhausted, the pad can be readily transferred by a simple closing of the cover of the container. The cover of the container with the length of felt 9, serving as a reservoir, will supply ink to the used surface. When the pad is resting in thel cover of the device, the opposite face of the pad will serve as a new inking surface.

This operation can be periodically repeated so that the user will have presented to him at all times a thoroughly inked stamping surface.

From the foregoing description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, it will be apparent that I have devised a novel type of reversible pad which can be either sold independently or on the other hand the pad and the container can be commercially presented as a complete ink pad equipment.

It is to be understood that the form of my invention herewith shown and described is to be taken as a preferred example of the same, and that various changes in the shape, size and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit of the invention or the scope of the subjoined claim.

Having thus described my invention,y I claim zply of ink therefrom, the opposite surface of the pad upon actuation of the container l0 adapted to Contact the ink bearing fabric of the base.

In testimony whereof I aix my Signature.
