Vertical Stamp Pad With Legs For Space Saving
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional stamp pads occupy a large area both when in use and when not in use, especially when multiple pads are present, hindering operations.
Innovation Solution
A vertical stamp pad design featuring a main body with an ink-absorbent member and a cover, equipped with legs that allow the pad to stand upright, reducing the occupied area when not in use.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the stamp pad is laid flat on the surface, then the stamp pad is stable and easy to use, but the area occupied by the stamp pad is large
Solution Approach 1:
The stamp pad is designed with legs that enable it to transition between a flat lying state during use and an upright standing state during storage. This dynamic reconfiguration allows the same object to optimize for different operational requirements, reducing occupied area when not in use while maintaining ease of operation when needed.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention transitions the stamp pad from a two-dimensional flat configuration to a three-dimensional upright configuration by adding legs. This dimensional change allows the stamp pad to occupy significantly less horizontal space when stored while maintaining full functionality when laid flat for use.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple stamp pads are provided, then sufficient stamp pads are available for use, but the total area occupied by the stamp pads becomes large
Solution Approach 1:
By enabling each stamp pad to stand upright, multiple pads can be stored vertically in a compact arrangement rather than spreading out horizontally. This dynamic storage configuration allows sufficient quantity of stamp pads to be maintained while minimizing the total area occupied on the desk surface.
3Area of stationary object
If the stamp pad is stood up, then the area occupied by the stamp pad is reduced, but the structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The stamp pad is segmented into distinct functional components: the main body containing the ink-absorbent member, the cover, and the legs. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function while simplifying the overall structure. The legs are separate elements that can be easily attached to the main body, avoiding the need for a completely complex integrated structure.

AI summary
A stamp pad is composed of a main body and a cover, and has two legs on a side portion of the main body for standing the stamp pad upright. Said main body and cover can be separated from each other. Said legs support the main body to keep it standing upright, and the cover is fitted to the main body. Said stamp pad can stand obliquely. When said stamp pad is stood upright, the angle between the bottom of the main body and the plane on which the legs rest can be in the range of 75-85°. When the stamp pad is to be used, it is laid down. When it is not in use, the stamp pad can be stood upright.
