The stamping member is mounted in the bracket and is capable of being moved in a longitudinal direction relative to the bracket and being rotated. The ink cartridge and the spring are mounted in the bracket. The housing is mounted around the bracket and has a through hole formed through a front side of the housing. The pushing device is mounted on the front side of the housing and has a pushed member. The pushed member is slidably mounted in the through hole and is capable of pushing the ink cartridge out of the bracket. With the pushing device, the stamp assembly is convenient for a user to push and remove the ink cartridge. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A stamp assembly comprising: a bracket having a top; and a bracket hole formed through the top of the bracket in a latitudinal direction of the bracket; a stamping member mounted in the bracket below the bracket hole, and capable of being moved in a longitudinal direction relative to the bracket and being rotated; an ink cartridge mounted in the bracket hole of the bracket; a spring mounted in the bracket and having a top end; and a bottom end opposite to the top end of the spring and pressed against the top of the bracket; a housing mounted around the bracket, capable of being moved in a longitudinal direction relative to the bracket, connected with the stamping member, and having a shell mounted around the bracket, capable of being moved in a longitudinal direction relative to the bracket, and having a front side; a rear side opposite to the front side of the shell; and two opposite flanks; a through hole formed through the front side of the shell; and a shell hole formed through a bottom of the rear side of the shell such that a bottom surface of the rear side of the shell is located above a bottom surface of the front side of the shell, wherein the ink cartridge is located between the shell hole and the through hole; and a pushing device mounted on the front side of the shell and having a pushed member slidably mounted in the through hole of the housing and capable of pushing the ink cartridge out of the bracket. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The stamp assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein the shell has an aperture formed through the front side of the shell and adjacent to the through hole; the pushed member has a pushed portion having a front side; and a rear side opposite to the front side of the pushed portion; at least one protrusion mounted on the rear side of the pushed portion, mounted through the through hole, and capable of pushing the ink cartridge; and a hook mounted on the rear side of the pushed portion beside the at least one protrusion, mounted through the aperture, and capable of restricting movement of the pushed member. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The stamp assembly as claimed in claim 2, wherein the shell further has a recess formed in the front side of the shell and having a bottom, wherein the through hole and the aperture are formed through the bottom of the recess; and an additional aperture formed through the bottom of the recess of the shell, wherein the two apertures are respectively adjacent to the through hole on two opposite sides of the through hole; the pushed member further has an additional hook mounted on the rear side of the pushed portion, wherein the two hooks are respectively inserted into the two apertures; the number of the at least one protrusion is two; and the two protrusions are both located between the two hooks, are mounted through the through hole, and are capable of pushing the ink cartridge. ### Claim 4 (depends on 2) The stamp assembly as claimed in claim 2, wherein the shell further has a recess formed in the front side of the shell and having a bottom, wherein the through hole and the aperture are formed through the bottom of the recess; and an additional through hole formed through the bottom of the recess of the shell, wherein the two through holes are respectively adjacent to the aperture on two opposite sides of the aperture; the pushed member further has an additional hook mounted on the rear side of the pushed portion, wherein the two hooks are inserted into the aperture; the number of the at least one protrusion is two; the two hooks are both located between the two protrusions; and the two protrusions are respectively mounted through the two through holes, and are capable of pushing the ink cartridge. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The stamp assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein the pushing device further has an elastic member mounted between the pushed member and the shell. ### Claim 6 (depends on 2) The stamp assembly as claimed in claim 2, wherein the pushing device further has an elastic member mounted between the pushed member and the shell. ### Claim 7 (depends on 3) The stamp assembly as claimed in claim 3, wherein the pushing device further has an elastic member mounted between the pushed member and the shell. ### Claim 8 (depends on 4) The stamp assembly as claimed in claim 4, wherein the pushing device further has an elastic member mounted between the pushed member and the shell. ### Claim 9 (depends on 3) The stamp assembly as claimed in claim 3, wherein the pushing device further has an elastic member mounted between the pushed member and the shell, located between the protrusions between the hooks, and having a base abutting on the rear side of the pushed portion; and multiple elastic strips protruding from the base, each elastic strip having a distal end abutting on the front side of the shell.
