Claims20
A tally stamp, comprising:
- an elongate body having a top and bottom, and front, rear, left and right sides extending between the top and bottom, the elongate body defining a longitudinal axis extending between the top and bottom;
- an ink stamp positioned proximate the bottom of the elongate housing movable in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis between a marking position in which the ink stamp is exposed and a storage position in which the ink stamp is retracted;
- and
- a counter system comprising a first actuator and a display, the display positioned on the top of the elongate housing and having a top perimeter and a bottom perimeter, the counter system incrementing a stored count by one when the pivoting ink stamp is moved to the marking position;
- wherein the display is positioned on the top of the elongate body between the front side and rear side and the actuator is positioned on the top of the elongate body between the display and the rear side.

A tally stamp, comprising:
- an elongate body having a top and bottom, and front, rear, left and right sides extending between the top and bottom, the elongate body defining a longitudinal axis extending between the top and bottom, the front side comprising a plurality of ridges;
- an ink stamp positioned proximate the bottom of the elongate housing movable in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis between a marking position in which the ink stamp is exposed and a storage position in which the ink stamp is retracted;
- and
- a counter system comprising a display, a first actuator actuatable in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis, and a second actuator actuatable in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, the display positioned on the top of the elongate housing and having a top perimeter and a bottom perimeter, the counter system incrementing a stored count by one when the pivoting ink stamp is moved to the marking position;
- wherein the display is positioned on the top of the elongate body between the front side and rear side and the actuator is positioned on the top of the elongate body between the display and the read side.
