Definitions

  • My invention relates to manual stamping or imprinting apparatus and more particularly, to an inexpensive stamp assembly which may be easily and rapidly altered to print a variety of different sets of indicia.
  • a wide variety of hand-operated stamps are commonly used, in association with ink pads, to imprint one or more lines of text on a wide variety of receiving surfaces.
  • the total text or indicia which a stamp will print during the impression of the stamp at a given time will be termed the 'message" then on the stamp.
  • a user finds it desirable or necessary to print a variety of different messages. That may be accomplished, of course, by mere provision of a suitable plurality of separate hand stamps, but that tends to be costly, and in some cases utterly impractical.
  • One general object of the present invention is to provide an improved hand stamp on which the message may be easily and rapidly altered.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a stamp assembly with changeable text strips in which installed strips may be easily identified.
  • Another object of the Invention is to provide a hand stamp assembly in which a user may insert and remove text strips without soiling his or her fingers with ink.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a hand stamp assembly Incorporating an ink pad which a user can conveniently carry in his or her pocket, or in a briefcase or purse, for example.
  • handle member 20 is shown as comprising a rectangular wooden block to the lower surface of which a magnetically-permeable metal (e.g. iron or steel) channel member 21 is affixed, by means of gluing, or, if desired, by screw means (not shown).
  • a magnetically-permeable metal e.g. iron or steel
  • Channel member 21 is coextensive in length with handle member 20, and provided with flanges 21a,21b.
  • Two different types of magnetic rubber 28,29 are shown inserted into channel 21. It will be seen that flanges 21a, 21b are mutually non-reentrant, I.e.
  • a plurality of pins 22,22 staked into the underside of the web of the channel act as stop means to limit leftward (in Fig.2b) insertion of magnetic rubber strips 28,29.
  • a non-magnetic rubber strip 27 cemented to magnetic rubber strip 28 carries raised indicia 27' spaced along its length.
  • Magnetic rubber strip 29 is shown not carrying a non-magnetic rubber strip, but having raised indicia provided on the magnetic rubber strip itself.
  • the two different types 6f magnetic rubber strips are shown solely for sake of example, and two (or more) strips of the same type may be used, if desired.
  • Strips 28 and 29 are both provided with a length such that they protrude outside channel 21 when their other ends abut pins 22.
  • the upper sides of the protruding portions of strips 28,29 bear indicia identifying the nature of the raised indicia carried on their opposite sides.
  • the identifying indicia may be printed, stencilled or otherwise fixed directly on the magnetic rubber strip, as is shown in the case of strip 29, or it may be carried on a paper or similar label 26 pasted on the strip, as is shown for strip 28.
  • the identifying indicia either may repeat the raised indicia, in a smaller type and with forward printing, or it may identify the raised indicia by means of a suitable abbreviation or a simple code, and in some cases may comprise a single character or other mark. In any event, the identifying indicia may contrast starkly in color to the background on which it is presented, and since it may comprise forward printing, it may be easily read by the user with little or no chance of error.
  • the portion of the strip extending beyond end 208 of the base serves as a convenient un-inked handle which the user may grasp either to slide the strip lengthwise off of the metal plate, or to pull the strip off of the metal plate in a direction perpendicular to the x-x and y-y directions shown.
  • the lengthwise direction is shown labelled x-x in Figs.2a and 2b
  • the sidewise direction is shown labelled y-y in Figs.2a and 2c.
  • the flanges 21a,21b of channel member 21 act as stop means to limit movement of the magnetic rubber strips in both directions of the y dimension
  • pins 22,22 act as stop means to limit movement in one direction of the x dimension.
  • the stop means comprise three ridge portions surrounding a rectangular recess formed in wooden handle member 30.
  • a magnetically-permeable metal plate 31 is fitted within the recess, and the three ridges of member 30 extend below the lower surfaces of plate 31 to act as three stop means to limit movement of magnetic rubber strip 39 (shown partially cut away) to which is cemented a non-magnetic rubber strip 37 carrying raised indicia 37'.
  • Strip 39 protrudes outside member 30, and Its upper side carries identifying indicia (not visible in Fig.3).
  • a hand stamp assembly includes a handle member 10 shown as comprising a rectangular ⁇ generally-solid wooden block. Affixed to one side of block 10 is a three-sided magnetically-permeable metal tray 11 having three flanges or sides lla.llb (Fig.lb) and 11c (Fig.lc), leaving one end of the tray open, as shown in Fig.1b. A pair of magnetic rubber strips 18,19 are shown laid in tray 11, to which strips 18,19 adhere by magnetic attraction. Each flexible magnetic rubber strip carries a non-magnetic rubber strip cemented thereto, with each non-magnetic rubber strip bearing raised indicia, such as alphanumeric characters. In Fig. Ic the raised indicia are shown at i,j extending above the edges of tray 11.
  • a box or cover 12 carrying an ink pad 13 is hingedly connected to block 10 by means of a conventional spring-biased hinge 14, the spring (not shown) of which urges cover 12 and ink pad 13 toward the open position shown in Fig.lc.
  • Cover 12 may be rotated (counterclockwise as viewed in Fig.lc) against the hinge spring force so that ink pad 13 rests atop the indicia-carrying rubber strips.
  • a hook 12a on cover 12 eventually snaps over and hooks on the end of wire rod 15, locking the cover closed, in the position shown in Figs.la and lb.
  • a wire loop 16 keeps the hinged spring force from bending the end of wire 15 upwardly (as viewed in Figs.la and lb). With cover 12 closed no portion of ink pad 13 is exposed, and hence one can carry the assembly in a pocket or purse without soiling other articles therein with ink.
  • Wire rod 15 extends through lengthwise bore 10a in block 10 and carries a release button 15a on one end.
  • cover 12 and ink pad 13 rotate somewhat more than 180 degrees, until a portion of the cover strikes a portion of hinge 14, as shown in Fig.lc. Then one may press the freshly-inked indicia i,j down onto a desired receiving surface to print the message carried on strips 18,19.
  • Each of strips 18,19 carries indicia on the protruding portion of Its side opposite to where the raised indicia are carried, at surface 19a in Fig.la, for example, to identify the nature of the raised (printing) indicia. If desired, the identifying indicia can be placed on the same side of a strip as the raised indicia, but using forward printing.
