Abstract
Time stamp for insertion into a mould for metal or plastics processing, with a basic body which can be inserted into the mould and in which an insert designed as a screw is arranged rotatably. The insert, in order to maintain its rotary position relative to the basic body, is retained in the basic body in that its shank end is in threaded engagement with a spring-pretensioned holding part arranged in the inner region of the basic body, so that the shoulder of the head portion of the insert can be pressed constantly against an annular radial step formed on the basic body.
