A present disclosure relates to a stamp for applying to a surface. The stamp includes a stamp type unit. The stamp type unit includes a die bracket, a first elastic element, a second elastic element, and a bearing bracket. The bearing bracket includes a type band and operatively associated with the first elastic element, the second elastic element and the die bracket. The first elastic element and the second elastic element are disposed between the die bracket and the bearing bracket in a manner that the type band is level with respect to the surface.

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.

A covering assembly is disposed on an inked printing assembly of a stamp. The covering assembly has a top cover and a bottom cover. The top cover is detachably disposed above the inked printing assembly. The bottom cover is detachably disposed below the inked printing assembly, is located below the top cover at a spaced interval, and has a bottom wall. The covering assembly can assist in assembling the inked printing assembly. The disposition of the top cover and the bottom cover can transfer pointed force into planar force for increasing a contact area, the forcing uniformity, and the assembly convenience.

While the described ink pad can include any suitable component, in some cases it includes a lid, a base, and an absorbent material. Additionally, in some cases, the lid and the base define a cavity that houses the absorbent material and the lid and the base each comprise one or more magnets and/or magnetic materials that are configured to magnetically couple with each other to releasably couple the lid and base together. In some instances, the ink pad further includes one or more seals that are configured to extend between the base and lid to limit air movement into the cavity when the lid and base are coupled together in a closed position. Additional implementations are described herein.

An indexing image for craft stamps that is opaque to the eye but transparent to UV light is produced by printing a wavelength-specific solvent-based ink on the stamp substrate. This eliminates the step of printing a separate adhesive-backed indexing image sheet and applying it to the substrate.

A method includes producing a stamp impression with UV-curable ink with a preferably self-inking stamp. A stamp for this purpose, includes a text plate with the negative stamp impression is moved from a resting position into a stamping position, whereby in the stamping position the stamp impression with the ink is produced on a preferably smooth surface of a document or object or workpiece, and then the text plate is returned to the resting position, wherein a controller is activated, wherein for the curing of the ink at least one or several irradiation sources arranged on the stamp is or are, respectively, switched on, with UV rays aligned in the direction of a printing surface.

In some embodiments, a stamp with metallic elements, may comprise at least one stamping component and one stamping insert. The stamping component may be formed of a top part with a handle element and a bottom part with a cushion-receiving element. The stamping insert may be connected so as to move synchronously via a reversing mechanism having a slide track in the bottom part via a shaft or trunnion to the top part. In the resting position a text plate mounted on the stamping insert may abut against an ink pad soaked with ink in the cushion-receiving element. The metallic elements can be attached from the outside onto the top and bottom parts formed from plastic material and these are fixed via a fastening system of the upper and lower parts. The metal part of the bottom part is fixed on a surface of the plastic part.
