Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a stamp, and more particularly to a non-rotating stamp having multiple printing faces. [Background technology]

[0002] A known example of this type of non-rotary stamp with multiple printing surfaces is an ink-penetration stamp, which enables multi-color printing by pressing and printing multiple different printing surfaces at the same position and overlapping them (Patent Document 1).

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 11-263057 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, in the conventional non-rotary stamps having multiple print faces, the print faces are fixed in advance to the print face holder in order to print over the same position with high precision, and therefore the individual print faces cannot be removed. As a result, it is not possible to replace the print faces with different ones or interchange the positions of the print faces, which results in a problem of lack of versatility.

[0005] The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a non-rotary stamp having multiple printing faces that is highly versatile. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The present invention provides a stamp unit including a stamp surface and capable of stamping by itself, and a fixed frame supporting a plurality of the stamp units in a predetermined arrangement, Each of the stamp units solves the above problem by using a non-rotating stamp that is detachably mounted on the fixed frame. [Effects of the Invention]

[0007] According to the present invention, each stamp unit is detachably attached to the fixed frame, so that it is possible to replace it with a different stamp unit or swap the positions of the stamp units with each other, thereby providing a stamp with excellent versatility.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0009] Hereinafter, with reference to the drawings, an embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a stamp 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a three-view diagram showing the stamp 1 of this embodiment (top left: plan view, top right: side view, bottom left: front view). The stamp 1 of this embodiment is a stamp having multiple printing faces, and is a non-rotating stamp in which multiple stamp units including the printing faces are fixed to a fixed frame. In other words, the stamp 1 of this embodiment is not a so-called rotating stamp in which multiple printing faces rotate via a belt or the like. Furthermore, the stamp 1 of this embodiment is a so-called push-button stamp in which the push button is pressed while the stamp body is placed on the printing paper surface, causing a movable part including the printing faces to approach the printing paper surface and perform printing.

[0010] Therefore, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, the stamp 1 of this embodiment includes a plurality of stamp units 11, a fixing frame 12, and a case 13. Each component will be described below. Figure 3 is a perspective view showing the stamp units 11 removed from the fixing frame 12 of the stamp 1 of this embodiment, Figure 4 is a perspective view showing the stamp unit 11 of this embodiment, Figure 5 is an exploded perspective view showing the stamp unit 11 of this embodiment, Figure 6 is a cross-sectional view taken along line VI-VI in Figure 2, and Figure 7 is a cross-sectional view showing only the stamp unit 11 extracted from Figure 6.

[0011] The stamp unit 11 of this embodiment is a stamp that includes a stamping surface 112 and can be used alone. When used as a series of stamp units 11, the stamp units 11 of this embodiment are attached to a fixed frame 12 as shown in Figure 3, but when used as a single stamp unit 11, they are removed from the fixed frame 12 as shown in Figure 4.

[0012] 4 and 5, the stamp unit 11 of this embodiment is configured to include a main body 111, a stamp face 112, a stamp face base 113, a push button 114, and a spring 115. Of these, the main body 111, the stamp face base 113, and the push button 114 can be configured from plastic such as ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene), PE (polyethylene), PC (polycarbonate), POM (polyacetal), AS (acrylonitrile styrene), PS (polystyrene), or PP (polypropylene), the stamp face 112 can be configured from an open-cell porous sheet made of a resin such as thermoplastic silicone resin, urethane resin, or thermoplastic polyethylene resin, and the spring 115 can be configured from a metal material such as iron.

[0013] The stamp base 113 supports the stamp 112 by attaching it to its crisscross-shaped uneven surface 113b, and is supported by inserting its tubular portion 113a into a hole in the main body 111. The push button 114 has a protrusion 114a that engages with the tubular portion 113a of the stamp base 113 across the main body 111, thereby supporting the stamp base 113 and the push button 114 on the main body 111. A spring 115, such as a compression coil spring, is interposed between the main body 111 and the push button 114 when the protrusion 114a of the push button 114 is inserted into the tubular portion 113a of the stamp base 113. As shown in the cross-sectional view of Figure 7, the spring 115 in this embodiment has an upper end that abuts against the inner surface of the push button 114 and a lower end that abuts against the main body 111, thereby urging the push button 114 in a direction away from the main body 111.

[0014] When the push button 114 is not pressed, as shown in Figure 7, the stamp base 113 is supported by the main body 111 so that the surface of the stamp face 112 (sealing surface) is recessed from the bottom end surface of the main body 111, i.e., the stamp paper surface PP. When the push button 114 is pressed from this state, the stamp base 113 moves downward against the bias of the spring 115 as the push button 114 is pressed down. This causes the surface of the stamp face 112 to protrude from the bottom end surface of the main body 111, and the stamp is made.

[0015] 3, the fixing frame 12 of this embodiment is a fixing member that supports a plurality of stamp units 11 in a predetermined arrangement. The fixing frame 12 of this embodiment can be made of plastic such as ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene), PE (polyethylene), PC (polycarbonate), POM (polyacetal), AS (acrylonitrile styrene), PS (polystyrene), or PP (polypropylene).

[0016] The fixed frame 12 of this embodiment includes a mounting portion 121 to which the stamp units 11 are attached in order to support a plurality of stamp units 11 in a predetermined arrangement, and the mounting portion 121 of this embodiment is formed as a through hole in the pressing direction of the push button as shown in Fig. 3. Note that the fixed frame 12 of this embodiment supports six stamp units 11 arranged in a row, but the stamp 1 of the present invention is not limited to this form, and two to five or seven or more stamp units 11 may be arranged in a row, multiple stamp units 11 may be arranged in multiple rows, or multiple stamp units 11 may be arranged in a non-linear manner.

[0017] Each stamp unit 11 in this embodiment is detachably mounted to each mounting portion 121 of the fixed frame 12. The structure for detachably mounting the stamp unit 11 to the fixed frame 12 is not particularly limited, and any structure may be used as long as it allows the stamp unit 11 to be easily removed and has a supporting force sufficient to prevent it from falling off while mounted.

[0018] For example, as shown in the enlarged cross-sectional view of part A in Figure 6, a first engagement portion 116 that protrudes outward is provided at the lower end of the main body 111 of the stamp unit 11, while a second engagement portion 122 that protrudes inward is provided on the inner surface of the mounting portion 121 of the fixed frame 12. When the stamp unit 11 is pushed into the mounting portion 121 from above the fixed frame 12 as indicated by the two-dot chain line in the figure, the first engagement portion 116 of the main body 111 climbs over the second engagement portion 122 of the fixed frame 12, thereby engaging the first engagement portion 116 and the second engagement portion 122, and one stamp unit 11 is mounted in one mounting portion 121.

[0019] When removing the stamp unit 11 from the mounting portion 121 of the fixed frame 12, the side of the stamp unit 11 is lightly pressed, causing the first engagement portion 116 to move in the opposite direction over the second engagement portion 122. This releases the engagement between the first engagement portion 116 and the second engagement portion 122, allowing one stamp unit 11 to be removed from one mounting portion 121.

[0020] 1 and 2, the case 13 of this embodiment is a member for housing the fixed frame 12 to which multiple stamp units 11 are attached, and is an openable and closable case made up of an upper case 131 and a lower case 132. The case 13 of this embodiment can be made from plastic such as ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene), PE (polyethylene), PC (polycarbonate), POM (polyacetal), AS (acrylonitrile styrene), PS (polystyrene), or PP (polypropylene). Although not particularly limited, the case 13 of this embodiment is preferably made from a transparent material so that the characters and designs on the stamp surface 112 can be easily seen even when the case 13 is housed.

[0021] Next, the operation will be described. When using the stamp 1 of this embodiment with the stamp faces 112 of the six stamp units 11 arranged in a row, the six stamp units 11 are attached to the attachment portions 121 of the fixed frame 12, and the lower end face of the fixed frame 12 is placed against the stamp paper surface PP, as shown in Fig. 6. When the push button 114 is pressed from this state, the stamp face base 113 moves downward against the bias of the spring 115 as the push button 114 is pressed down. As a result, the surface of the stamp face 112 protrudes from the lower end face of the fixed frame 12, and the stamp is made.

[0022] An example of a situation in which the stamp faces 112 of multiple stamp units 11 are used in a line is when there are regularly arranged stamping spaces, such as on a calendar or schedule. When stamping in such regularly arranged spaces, it may be necessary to position or confirm the position of the stamp. With the stamp 1 of this embodiment, the through-hole in the mounting portion 121 of the fixed frame 12 can be used for positioning or position confirmation. That is, when the stamp unit 11 in a position where positioning or position confirmation is possible is removed from the mounting portion 121 of the fixed frame 12, the stamping paper surface PP can be visually observed through the through-hole in the mounting portion 121, and the position of the entire fixed frame 12 can be corrected based on this. As a result, multiple marks can be accurately stamped in the multiple spaces present on the stamping paper surface PP.

[0023] In contrast, when using one stamp unit 11 of the stamp 1 of this embodiment alone, the stamp unit 11 is removed from the fixed frame 12, and the bottom end face of the main body 111 is placed against the stamp paper surface PP, as shown in Figure 7. When the push button 114 is pressed from this state, the stamp surface base 113 moves downward against the bias of the spring 115 as the push button 114 is pressed down. This causes the surface of the stamp surface 112 to protrude from the bottom end face of the main body 111, and the stamp is made. When one stamp unit 11 is used alone in this way, the stamp can be made in an accurate position. [Explanation of symbols]
