Abstract
A locking mechanism for an embosser stamp in which the embosser stamp has an operating lever for controlling movement of the seal or embossing plates. Holes are disposed in the sides of the embosser stamp and through the operating lever. When the holes in the operating lever are aligned with the holes in the sides of the embosser stamp, a locking rod is placed through the aligned holes. Movement of the operating lever is restricted when the locking rod is inserted through the aligned holes. One end of the locking rod has a stop mechanism and the other end has a hole for receiving a lock.
Claims19
An embosser stamp comprising:
- a stamp body having opposite upstanding sides;
- an embossing die mounted in the stamp body;
- an operating lever disposed between the upstanding sides and having an end operatively engaging the embossing die;
- a stamp body opening in each of the opposite sides of the stamp body, the stamp body openings aligned with each other in a substantially straight line;
- an operator lever opening passing through the operator lever, the operator lever opening in alignment with the stamp body openings when the operator lever is in a first position and out of alignment when the operator lever is in a second position;
- a locking member received in the stamp body openings and the operator lever opening when the stamp body openings are aligned with the operator lever opening to restrain the operator lever from movement within the stamp body and inhibiting the movement of the operating lever between the first and second positions.
In an embosser stamp having a stamp frame and an operating lever mounted in the stamp frame for activating an embossing die, a locking mechanism comprising:
- a first hole in the stamp frame;
- a second hole in the operating lever;
- the first and second holes in alignment with each other when the operating lever is in a first position, and
- locking means placed through the first and second holes when they are aligned with each other for restraining the movement of the operating lever with respect to the stamp frame.
A locking mechanism for an embosser stamp comprising:
- an embosser stamp body;
- an operating lever operatively connected to an embossing die;
- a locking bar having first and second opposite ends;
- a stop member at the first end and a lock receiving means at the second opposite end;
- and
- aligned slots in the embosser stamp body and operator lever, the locking bar passing through the aligned slots for restraining the operator lever in a first position.
