The technology is relates to a stamp with a pivotable stamping insert. The stamp includes a top part with a pair of side faces; a bottom part; a receiving device for an exchangeable ink cartridge with pad having grip elements and a stamping insert with a text plate positioned in the bottom part. The stamping insert is configured to move in a vertical direction from a resting position into a stamping position for producing a stamp impression by the text plate by means of a reversing mechanism. The reversing mechanism includes a reversing opening on a rear side of the top part for the stamping insert, and on each side face of the pair of side faces there is one grip opening for reaching through to the bottom part to the grip elements of the exchangeable ink cartridge with pad.

In some embodiments, a stamp may include 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 an 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 stamping insert with the text plate can be shifted by the reversing mechanism into a stamping position. On the ink pad, a protective cover is located on that side on which a handle element is located on a support device of the ink pad. The system including an ink pad and a closure cap.

A handle assembly adapted to be mounted on a driving member of a stamp has a knob body and an extending portion. The knob body has a bowl-shaped head, a central post, and a fixing seat. The extending portion has a ball joint, a collar, and a fixing plate. The ball joint is engaged with and encloses the bowl-shaped head, the collar surrounds the central post, and the fixing plate is mounted in a slot of the fixing seat. The extending handle is mounted on a top of the knob body firmly by the engagement between the ball joint and the bowl-shaped head.

A method is provided for extending the frequency band of an audio signal during a decoding or improvement process. The method includes obtaining the decoded signal in a first frequency band, referred to as a low band. Tonal components and a surround signal are extracted from the signal from the low-band signal, and the tonal components and the surround signal are combined by adaptive mixing using energy-level control factors to obtain an audio signal, referred to as a combined signal. The low-band decoded signal before the extraction step or the combined signal after the combination step are extended over at least one second frequency band which is higher than the first frequency band. Also proved are a frequency-band extension device which implements the described method and a decoder including a device of this type.

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 stamping kit is disclosed. The stamping kit includes a jig, a card, and a plurality of stamps. The jig includes an upper surface, a lower surface, a front surface, a rear surface, a card slot, and a stamping slot. The card slot extends between he front surface and the rear surface, and defines a width and a height. The stamping slot extends between the upper surface and the card slot, and defines a width and a length. The card defines a width and a thickness, and is configured to slide within the card slot of the jig. Each stamp of the plurality of stamps has a proximal end configured to be engaged by a hammer, and a distal end having a character thereon. A distal portion of each stamp is configured and dimensioned to enter the stamping slot of the jig.
