Abstract
While the described ink pad can include any suitable component, in some cases it includes a lid, a base, and an absorbent material. Additionally, in some cases, the lid and the base define a cavity that houses the absorbent material and the lid and the base each comprise one or more magnets and/or magnetic materials that are configured to magnetically couple with each other to releasably couple the lid and base together. In some instances, the ink pad further includes one or more seals that are configured to extend between the base and lid to limit air movement into the cavity when the lid and base are coupled together in a closed position. Additional implementations are described herein.
Claims3
A container, comprising:
- a lid having a first magnetic coupler and a second magnetic coupler, wherein the first magnetic coupler comprises a first magnetic axis running in a first direction, wherein the second magnetic coupler comprises a second magnetic axis running in a second direction, and wherein the first and second magnetic axes run at an intersecting angle to each other;
- a base having a third magnetic coupler and a fourth magnetic coupler that are configured to magnetically couple with the first magnetic coupler and the second magnetic coupler, respectively;
- and
- at least one of:
- (i) an absorbent material that is configured to receive and store an amount of a transferable pigment and (ii) the transferable pigment.
A transferable pigment container comprising:
- a lid comprising a first magnetic coupler that is disposed at a first edge of the lid, a second magnetic coupler that is disposed at a second edge of the lid, a third magnetic coupler, and a fourth magnetic coupler, wherein the first magnetic coupler comprises a first magnetic axis running in a first direction, wherein the third magnetic coupler comprises a second magnetic axis running in a second direction, and wherein the second magnetic axis runs at an intersecting angle with respect to the first magnetic axis;
- a base comprising a fifth magnetic coupler that is disposed at a first edge of the base, a sixth magnetic coupler that is disposed at a second edge of the base, a seventh magnetic coupler, and an eighth magnetic coupler;
- and
- at least one of:
- (i) an absorbent material comprising a transferable pigment and (ii) the transferable pigment.
A container comprising:
- a lid comprising a first face, the lid further comprising a first magnetic coupler that is disposed at a first edge of the lid, a second magnetic coupler that is disposed at a second edge of the lid, a third magnetic coupler, and a fourth magnetic coupler, wherein the first magnetic coupler comprises a first magnetic axis extending in a first, wherein the third magnetic coupler comprises a second magnetic axis extending in a second direction, and wherein the first magnetic axis and the second magnetic axis run at a first intersecting angle with respect to each other;
- a base comprising a second face, the base further comprising a fifth magnetic coupler that is disposed at a first edge of the base, a sixth magnetic coupler that is disposed at a second edge of the base, a seventh magnetic coupler, and an eighth magnetic coupler, wherein the fifth magnetic coupler comprises a third magnetic axis extending in a third direction, wherein the seventh magnetic coupler comprises a fourth magnetic axis extending in a fourth direction, and wherein the third magnetic axis and the fourth magnetic axis run at a second intersecting angle with respect to each other;
- and
- at least one of:
- (i) an absorbent material comprising a transferable pigment and (ii) the transferable pigment.
