Rotary stamp

A rotary stamp comprising:

• a casing consisting of two shells connected together and defining an opening therebetween, each of said shells having a respective flange projecting out of said opening at either side thereof, said side flange of each shell forming an axle hole, said holes being in registration with each other, said casing further forming lateral end flanges extending between said shells at the opening;
• an impression wheel connected between said shells and partially projecting through said opening, said impression wheel having an annular groove around its periphery of a predetermined depth and a wheel axle projecting out of two opposite sides thereof said axle projections being received in the respective axle hole on respective side flanges of said shells permitting said impression wheel to be turned between said shells, the peripheral surface of said wheel projecting through said opening being adjacent to but spaced away from said lateral end flanges;
• and
• an absorptive belt stamp mounted around said annular groove of said impression wheel, said absorptive belt stamp adapted to absorb ink and having a design on an outside surface thereof so that when said stamp is forcibly brought against an object and turned by said impression wheel it will mark said design on said object, the outside surface of said belt stamp being disposed adjacent to but spaced away from said lateral end flanges.
