A hand-operated stamp (1) comprising a housing (2) in which a stamp unit (3) coupled to an actuating part (8) which can be displaced with respect to the housing (2) is mounted, wherein the actuating part (8) has a locking element (10, 10′) for limiting a displacement of the actuating part (8) with respect to the housing (2), wherein the locking element (10, 10′) is configured as a rocker element (10a) on a pivot shaft (14), wherein the actuating part (8) has a recess (22) for receiving the rocker element (10a), wherein the pivot shaft (14) is arranged in the recess (22), wherein the actuating part (8) has a supporting strut (23) in the recess (22), wherein the supporting strut (23) is arranged parallel to the pivot shaft (14).

There is disclosed a stamp pad unit (1), in particular for a self-inking stamp, which comprises two ink pads (2a, 2b) being arranged within a frame (3), abutting against opposing surfaces (4a, 4b) of a separating plate (5) and being separated thereby from each other, wherein the frame (3) consists of two separate frame parts (3a, 3b) which are connected with each other and within which the ink pads (2a, 2b) are accommodated, wherein at least one frame part (3a, 3b), preferably each of the frame parts (3a, 3b), comprises at least one inwardly directed retaining projection (6a, 6b) engaged with an ink pad (2a, 2b) for holding the ink pad (2a, 2b).

An ink pad container is detachably disposed on a fixing seat of a stamp and has a body. The body has a chamber formed in the body, a bottom surface, two opposite side surfaces, a front surface, an opening formed in the bottom surface of the body and communicating with the chamber, two positioning portions formed in the two opposite side surfaces of the body respectively, a front recess formed in the front surface of the body, a front stopper formed across the front recess of the body, and a front guiding groove formed between the front stopper and the front recess. The replacement of the ink pad container is made convenient and stable by the front stopper with single-point forcing.

A reverse type stamp includes an outer cylindrical body, an inner cylindrical body which is movable relative to the outer cylindrical body, an elastic member that constantly urges the inner cylindrical body in a protruding direction inside the outer cylindrical body, an inversion body which is reversed and returned in synchronization with the relative movement, and a print body which is joined to the inversion body. When the outer cylindrical body is pressed down while the inner cylindrical body stands on a paper surface, the inversion body is reversed inside the inner cylindrical body for an imprinting operation. An ink pad is provided inside a movable container inside a cartridge. The movable container is elastically supported inside the cartridge by a coil spring provided at a rear surface thereof. Since contact between the ink pad and the print body is buffered, the sagging of the ink pad can be prevented.

An inkpad holder for arrangement in an insertion compartment of a self-inking stamp includes a one-piece body having a bottom and walls projecting therefrom which delimit a receiving space for receiving an inkpad. At least one wall of the inkpad holder has a retaining web protruding into the receiving space in order to retain the inkpad, the retaining web extending over the entire length of the wall.

A pad holder (1) for use in an insertion compartment (2) of a self-inking stamp with upstroke inking as well as a self-inking stamp having such a pad holder, the pad holder (1) comprising: a bottom (6) and walls (7) projecting from the bottom (6) in a pan-shaped configuration, wherein the bottom (6) and the walls (7) surround a recess (8) for accommodating an ink pad (4), wherein the pad holder (1) has at least one restricting element (9, 10, 28, 29) on an outside, which restricting element (9, 10, 28, 29) is configured for restricting a displacement of the pad holder (1) with respect to the insertion compartment (2) and substantially parallel to the bottom (6) in a maintenance position of the pad holder (1), and wherein in the bottom (6) of the pad holder (1) at least one refill opening (11) is provided, the at least one refill opening (11) being arranged at least partially outside of the insertion compartment (2), in the maintenance position.

Turning device for a self-inking stamp includes a housing and an actuating bracket. The housing has, on each of two opposite side walls, one control cam curved at least in sections for a turning shaft. The bracket is connected and displaceable relative to the housing. On each of two limbs arranged parallel to the housing side walls, the bracket has one turning shaft guide arranged transversely to a displacement direction of the bracket relative to the housing. The guide and the control cam overlap partially at least on a first side and in at least one position of the bracket relative to the housing and configure an opening which is continuous from an outer side, so that a turning shaft is introduceable in the longitudinal direction from the outside into the turning device. The guides have in each case one displaceably mounted sliding bush with a turning shaft bearing.
