Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] However, the conventional stamp has one stamping face per stamp, that is, only one pattern can be printed with one stamp. The reason is that replacing the stamping face is troublesome, and even if the stamping face is replaced to print a plurality of patterns, the stamping face is easily damaged, and the printing may become unclear.

[0005] The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a stamp capable of two-color overprinting.

[Figure 2] Figure 1 is a perspective view showing the lower frame and stamp component of the stamp. [Figure 3] FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of the stamp in FIG. 1 as seen from above. [Figure 4] FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view of the stamp in FIG. 1 as seen from below. [Figure 5] FIG. 4 is an exploded perspective view of the stamp member in FIG. 2 as seen from above. [Figure 6] FIG. 5 is an exploded perspective view of the stamp member in FIG. 2 as seen from below. [Figure 7] FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view taken along line VII-VII in FIG. 3. [Figure 8] FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view taken along line VIII-VIII in FIG. 7. [Mode for Carrying Out the Invention]

[0018] FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the overall state of a stamp according to an embodiment of the present invention, viewed from below; FIG. 2 shows a state where the upper cover 12 of the stamp in FIG. 1 is removed, and is a perspective view showing the lower frame 11 and the stamp member 2. Further, FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view of the stamp in FIG. 1 as seen from above, and FIG. 4 is likewise an exploded perspective view of the stamp in FIG. 1 as seen from below. Further, FIG. 5 is an exploded perspective view of the stamp member 2 in FIG. 2 as seen from above, and FIG. 6 is likewise an exploded perspective view of the stamp member 2 as seen from below. Further, FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view taken along line VII-VII in FIG. 3, and FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view taken along line VIII-VIII in FIG. 7.

[0019] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the stamp of the present embodiment includes a stamp housing 1, and a plurality of stamp members 2 arranged inside the stamp housing 1. The illustrated embodiment includes two stamp members 2, 2. Further, the stamp housing 1 includes a lower frame 11 and an upper cover 12 detachably attached to the upper portion of the lower frame 11. Further, the stamp member 2 includes an outer frame 21, and a stamping face 22 provided on the bottom side of the outer frame 21 so as to be movable along the stamping direction X.

[0020] An opening 13 is provided in the center of the lower frame 11, and four stoppers 14 are integrally formed on each side of the upper surface (inside the stamp housing) of the opening 13. The stoppers 14 contact a single stamp base 23, described later, at four points to prevent the stamp surface 22 from being pushed down in the stamping direction X and soiling the bottom surface of the lower frame 11 when the stamp member 2 is sliding to the positions on either side of the opening 13. Note that when the stamp member 2 is sliding to the position of the opening 13, the stamp base 23 and the stoppers 14 do not come into contact, so the stamp surface 22 can be pushed down in the stamping direction X through the opening 13.

[0021] The anti-slip pieces 3 are fixed to two locations on both ends of the bottom surface of the lower frame 11, as shown in Figure 1. The anti-slip pieces 3 can be made of an elastic material such as rubber, silicone, or thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU). The anti-slip pieces 3 increase the frictional force with the paper to be stamped, preventing the stamp from slipping during stamping. At the same time, the elastic material provides a cushioning effect, mitigating the impact between the stamp housing 1 and the stamped paper when the stamp is pressed hard.

[0022] As shown in Figure 4, position-restricting protrusions 17 are integrally formed on the inner wall of the upper cover 12. The position-restricting protrusions 17 contact the outer frame 21 of the stamp member 2 at two points to restrict the stamp member 2 from sliding toward the opening 13 when the stamp member 2 slides toward the opening 13 and is covered by the upper cover 12, i.e., when the stamp is not in use. When using the stamp, the upper cover 12 is removed, so the outer frame 21 does not contact the position-restricting protrusions 17, and the stamp member 2 can slide toward the opening 13.

[0023] As shown in Figure 3, fixing protrusions 15 are integrally formed on the outer walls of both ends of the lower frame 11, and as shown in Figure 4, fixing grooves 16 are provided on the inner walls of both ends of the upper cover 12. The fixing protrusions 15 of the lower frame 11 are detachably engaged with the fixing grooves 16 of the upper cover 12, thereby detachably fixing the upper cover 12 to the upper outer wall of the lower frame 11.

[0024] As shown in Figures 6 and 8, protruding portions 210 are integrally formed on both sides of the outer frame 21 of the stamp member 2. As shown in Figure 8, the outer frame 21 is supported by the opening frame of the lower frame 11 via the protruding portions 210, and the lower end of the outer frame 21 contacts the upper surface of the stopper 14. This allows the outer frame 21 to slide while being supported by the lower frame 11.

[0025] As shown in Figures 5 and 6, the stamp member 2 of this embodiment has a stamp base 23 that is movable along the stamping direction X inside the outer frame 21, and a stamp surface 22 is mounted on the bottom of the stamp base 23.

[0026] A storage chamber 29 is provided at the bottom of the outer frame 21, and an ink pad 23 is placed in the storage chamber 29. A movable connecting part 24 is integrally formed on the upper part of the ink pad 23, and the movable connecting part 24 is positioned to penetrate the upper surface of the storage chamber 29. An ink stamping button 26 is placed on the upper part of the outer frame 21, and an assembly part 28 is integrally formed on the lower part of the ink stamping button 26. A coil spring 25 is inserted into the outside of the assembly part 28 so as to be expandable and contractible, with the lower end of the coil spring 25 in contact with the upper part of the storage chamber 29 and the upper end of the coil spring 25 in contact with the ink stamping button 26. The upper surface of the ink stamping button 26 is provided with a logo pattern 27, which is the same as the pattern on the ink stamp surface 22.

[0027] Then, the movable connecting part 24 is inserted through and fixed into the assembly part 28, so that the stamp base 23 and the stamping button 26 are supported by the outer frame 21 with the outer frame 21 in between. When the stamping button 26 is pressed down, the stamping button 26 and the stamp base 23 are pushed down relative to the outer frame 21 along the stamping direction X, and when the pressing force of the stamping button 26 is released, the restoring force of the coil spring 25 returns the stamping button 26 and the stamp base 23 to their original positions.

[0028] Next, let's explain how it works. When carrying the stamp, the two stamp members 2,2 slide to either side of the opening 13, respectively, and the upper cover 12 is secured to the top of the lower frame 11. As a result, the sliding movement of the two stamp members 2,2 is restricted by the position-restricting projections 17 formed on the inner wall of the upper cover 12. Consequently, when carrying the stamp in use, it is not only convenient to carry, but it also prevents it from sliding out of the lower frame 11, thus preventing damage to the stamp surface 22 or soiling caused by it sliding out during carrying.

[0029] On the other hand, when using a stamp, the upper cover 12 is removed, the stamp member 2 to be stamped is selected, and it is slid horizontally along the top of the lower frame 11 to the opening 13. At this time, the outer frame 21 slides while being supported by the stopper 14 and is positioned horizontally by coming into contact with the other stamp member 2. This ensures that the position of the stamp surface 22 precisely aligns with the position of the opening 13. When selecting the stamp member to be stamped, the desired stamp member 2 can be quickly found by looking at the logo pattern 27.

[0030] To stamp, the stamping button 26 is pressed along the downward stamping direction X. This causes the movable connecting part 24 to move downward via the assembly part 28. At this time, the coil spring 25 is compressed, and simultaneously, the stamp base 23 and stamp surface 22 are pushed downward towards the stamping paper below through the opening 13. Since the stamping operation is performed in the downward stamping direction X, damage to the stamp surface 22 can be effectively avoided while ensuring the clarity of the stamping. Simultaneously, a two-color overprinting effect can be obtained by stamping the two stamp members 2 in sequence. [Explanation of Symbols]
