The technology describes a stamp and stamp pad for a self-inking stamp, having a housing or a carrying device for a pad for absorbing ink. The carrying device is rectangular in shape, having a base plate with longitudinal surfaces and lateral surfaces moulded thereon. On two surfaces running in parallel handle elements for the lateral gripping of the carrying device are arranged. On the lateral surface a handle element for the lateral gripping and pulling of the carrying device out of a stamp are formed of a plurality of parts displaceable within one another. The handle elements are formed for insertion in a clearance of a lower part of the stamp and do not protrude out of the outer surface of the lower part, so that an upper part of the stamp is displaceable via the clearance with the handle elements inserted in the lower part.

A confectionary decorating kit comprising a block comprising a plurality of decorative stamp elements and a plurality of receptacles defined in the block wherein each decorative stamp element is mounted into a matching receptacle, and wherein each decorative stamp element is removable from its matching receptacle. In addition a confectionary decorating kit comprising a plate comprising a first plate surface wherein a decorative stamp element is attachable to the first plate surface of the plate to form a decorative stamp comprising a design formed from the decorative stamp elements, and wherein the decorative stamp is for use to imprint the design into an item of edible confectionary.

The invention comprises an assortment of group stamp plates. The group stamp plates contain numerous stamps to overlay ink in subsequent layering to produce thematically related images, such as rose and its foliage. The group stamp plate also contain numerous alignment markers to assist the artisan to properly position subsequent group stamp plates to precisely layer additional layers of ink.

The invention relates to a stamp comprising a telescoping upper and lower part as well as a printing plate holder pivotally disposed in the lower part to accommodate the stamp plate. A retaining device for a stamp pad is associated with the printing plate holder, and in a rest position the printing plate holder is positioned in the range 80° to 135°, preferably at approximately 90° with respect to a contact area. From this rest position the stamp can be displaced into an operating position to produce a stamped imprint via guide means, whereby the printing plate holder is turned about two guide pins, wherein one guide pin is respectively disposed on a side face of the printing plate holder, and the guide pins simultaneously engage in guide slots in the upper and lower part.
