Abstract
A stamp for transferring a personalised coloured image onto a selected surface includes a stamping block with a lower surface and a flexible image bearing impermeable substrate of a polymer or copolymer having a textured surface. The stamp may be hand held and may include a handle at its end remote from the stamping surface of the substrate. The substrate may be separable from and attachable to the front surface of the stamping block. One or a plurality of flexible image bearing impermeable substrates may be provided. The substrate material is preferably ethylene vinyl acetate.
Claims19
Stamping apparatus for transferring a personalised coloured image onto a selected surface, the apparatus comprising a stamp including a stamping block and a flexible image bearing impermeable substrate of a polymer or copolymer attachable to the stamping block, the image bearing surface of the substrate being textured.
Stamping apparatus for transferring a personalised coloured image onto a selected surface, the apparatus comprising a stamping block with a lowersurface, an impermeable flexible substrate of a polymer or copolymer having an image bearing surface which is textured but otherwise plain, and a non image bearing surface, means for attaching the non image bearing surface of the substrate to the lower surface of the stamp, and means for applying a liquid colorant to the image bearing surface of the substrate.
A colouring set comprising a stamp including a lower surface, a flexible image bearing impermeable substrate of a polymer or copolymer formed with a textured surface for selective or permanent attachment to the lower surface, and a source for applying liquid colorant onto that surface of the substrate which will be exposed when the substrate is attached to the lower surface.
A flexible image bearing impermeable substrate formed with a textured surface, wherein the substrate, in use, is attached to a lower surface of a stamp, and wherein the substrate comprises ethylene vinyl acetate.
