An embossing seal has a base, a die assembly disposed in the base, a driven shaft assembly movably disposed in the base, and a pressing handle pivotally disposed on the base for driving the driven shaft assembly. The driven shaft assembly has a lower shaft, an upper shaft, a cushion spring, and a restoring spring. The lower shaft is movably disposed in a shaft tube of the base. The upper shaft is movably disposed in the lower shaft. The cushion spring and the restoring spring are coaxially disposed around the upper shaft. Two ends of the cushion spring respectively abut against the upper shaft and the lower shaft. Two ends of the restoring spring respectively abut against the upper shaft and the shaft tube. Structure of the base and structure of the driven shaft assembly are simplified. The embossing seal is restored accurately and quickly.

A hand-held and mountable Tongs type embossing art tool having two extended arms joined, with their open ends bent towards each other to create teeth-type tips. Media is pressed between the tips manually to form embossing art. For mechanically pressing, first rivet the rotating pressure plate at the joined of the two arms, then fix the embossing tool on the transparent engraving channel block-cum-tongs embossing tool holder having rotating holder strip. Apply pressure by rotating the pressure plate and slide paper between the two tips to create embossing art. Use the engraving template block with stylus of various tip sizes and shapes as in channel shapes like French curve and straight line with variously colored borders printed at the edge of the channels. Where card paper is to be rested upon the desired channel, pressing and sliding the stylus in the groove of the channel, create your own embossed art.

Methods and apparatus are disclosed for stamping concrete. In one aspect, a stamp includes a top surface having a three dimensional pattern similar to the three dimensional pattern on its bottom surface. When a portion of a first stamp overlaps a portion of a second stamp, at least a portion of the three dimensional pattern on the bottom surface of the first stamp engages with at least a portion of the three dimensional pattern on the top surface of the second. The engagement between the three dimensional designs or patterns locks or registers the first stamp to the second stamp. In some aspects, a handle of the first stamp engages with a slot in the second stamp. In some aspects, a magnet of the first stamp is attracted to a magnet of the second stamp.

A method for producing a component involves producing a die using an additive production process. A design is embossed in a component material layer of the component by the die. The design is selected and/or created by a customer. This design selected and/or created by the customer is then submitted to an additive production process that produces the die, via a digital platform, which the customer accesses by a customer terminal or via a user program on the customer terminal. The die is then produced by the additive production device in the additive production process corresponding to the submitted design.

A method for handling logs, wherein the method comprises the following steps: retrieving or generating a unique code at a first moment; establishing, by means of a position determining device, position information as to the geographical position of a portable, hand-held log marking tool (1) at said first moment; applying the code as a corresponding code marking on a log by means of the log marking tool at a second moment and automatically establishing a time value representing the time elapsed between said first moment and said second moment; comparing said time value with a predetermined time threshold value; andstoring the code as an authenticated code in a database associated to the position information when said time value is smaller than the time threshold value. The invention also relates to a log marking tool (1) for use in such a method.

A tool intended for imprinting a texture on a coating, in particular a coating applied to a wall, a floor or a ceiling, including a mat having a front face including a working surface with a texture intended to come into contact with the coating, and a holding system. The working surface has a general curvature in at least a first rocking direction, and the holding system comprises at least one first holding zone and one second holding zone spaced in said first rocking direction, whereby the tool can be rocked on the coating by application of a varying force to the first and second holding zones.
