Abstract
A stamp includes a printing unit and an actuator unit. The printing unit is connected to the actuator unit by a connecting element. The printing unit includes a support element and a printing plate the cross section of which is round. The printing plate is stabilized by the support element. The printing unit is moveable from a neutral setting into a print setting through axial displacement by the actuator unit. The printing plate can be moved further by axial displacement into a positioning setting wherein the printing plate can be rotated in its angular position relative to the actuator unit.
Claims28
A stamp comprising a printing unit, an actuator unit and a connecting element, wherein the printing unit is connected to the actuator unit by means of the connecting element, and wherein the printing unit includes a support element and a printing plate, the printing plate is stabilized by the support element, and wherein the printing unit being configured to move through axial displacement along a predetermined axis by means of the actuator unit from a neutral setting into a printing setting, the printing plate being configured to move into a positioning setting wherein the printing plate is adapted to be rotated in its angular position about the predetermined axis relative to the actuator unit.
A stamp cartridge for a stamp comprising:
- a pan-shaped support element having a pan bottom and at least one lateral wall and an open top side formed on the opposite side of the pan bottom forming an interior area for insertion of an ink storage body therein, wherein at least one opening is arranged in the pan bottom, and wherein the opening and the open top side are each sealed liquid-tight by a foil with the ink storage body received within the interior area and ink being contained in the support element;
- wherein the foil which is sealed to the open top side of the support element is configured to be permanently removed when integrating the stamp cartridge into the stamp.
A semi-finished product for a stamp comprising:
- a pan-shaped support element including a pan bottom and at least one lateral wall and an open top side facing the pan bottom forming an interior area for insertion of an ink storage body, said support element further including an ink pre-chamber in fluid communication with the interior area of the support element for storing ink for absorption by the ink storage body when inserted therein, the ink pre-chamber having an open end and a closed end within the pan-bottom of the support element, the open end in fluid communication with the interior area of the support element, wherein at least one opening is arranged in the pan bottom with said opening sealed liquid-tight by means of a sealing element.
