• wherein the printing plate carrier is adjustable by way of contact pressure in a vertical direction from a starting position in which it contacts the stamp pad, into a position for producing a stamp impression
• wherein the printing plate carrier is movement-coupled with an upper part and telescopically guided on the lower part,
• wherein the receiving device is formed by at least one shaft traversing the vertical direction, the receptacle having an approximately rectangular cross section and an opening in a front wall of the lower part,
• wherein the upper part encloses the lower part,
• wherein in the starting position of the upper part comprises a lower edge extending below the opening of the lower part, and the upper part includes a window corresponding with the opening,
• wherein in the starting position the window is located in a position above the opening in the front wall so that the opening of the lower part is at least partially covered, and
• wherein the window extends across the entire width of the front wall of the upper part and extends into lateral walls of the upper part across a depth, thereby forming a recess for access to the handles of the carrying device.
