Abstract
An ink pad assembly having a top panel, the top panel having an ink pad coupled thereto, a bottom panel, and a pivotable hinge for connecting the top and bottom panels. The top panel of the ink pad assembly can be opened and pivoted 180 degrees about its central lengthwise axis. This pivotability allows a user to place the ink pad assembly in a position ready for use wherein the top panel lies on top of the bottom panel so that the ink pad is exposed. The pivotable hinge also allows the user to place the ink pad assembly in a closed position wherein the top panel lies on top of the bottom panel so that the ink pad is enclosed between the top and bottom panels.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a first panel;
- a second panel;
- an ink pad coupled to one of said panels;
- and
- a pivotable hinge, coupled to both of said first and second panels, for rotating the first panel with respect to the second panel between an open and a closed position, and also for rotating the first panel perpendicularly with respect to the second panel.
A system comprising:
- a first cover;
- a second cover;
- an ink pad coupled to the first cover;
- and
- a pivotable hinge, coupled to both of said first and second covers, said first cover further comprising a first axis about which it can rotate via the pivotable hinge between open and closed positions, and a second axis about which it can rotate, via the pivotable hinge, perpendicularly with respect to the second cover, the first and second axes lying at an angle from each other.
A system comprising:
- a first panel rotatable around a first axis and a second axis, the first and second axes being angled from each other;
- a second panel coupled to said first panel, the second panel being rotatable around said first axis;
- an ink pad coupled to one of said panels;
- and
- means for rotating said first panel around the first axis between an open and a closed position, and for rotating said first panel perpendicularly with respect to the second panel between reversible positions.
