Covering assembly for a stamp

Abstract

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.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

(11) With reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, in delivery, assembly of an inked printing assembly 10 is not finished yet. A covering assembly for a stamp in accordance with the present invention is disposed on the inked printing assembly 10 and is not assembled completely. With reference to FIGS. 5 to 7, the covering assembly is applied to assist a moving seat 11 of the inked printing assembly 10 for assembly. The covering assembly is disposed on the moving seat 11 of the stamp for assisting a bottom frame 18 of a printing member 13 of the moving seat 11 to engage with a top frame 17 of the printing member 13 of the moving seat 11. The covering assembly has a top cover 20 and a bottom cover 30A.

(12) With reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, the top cover 20 is detachably disposed above the inked printing assembly 10. The top cover 20 has a covering plate 21 and a top wall 22. The covering plate 21 has an outer edge. The top wall 22 is formed on and downwardly protrudes out of the outer edge of the covering plate 21. In addition, the covering plate 21 has a bottom surface. The top cover 20 has a retaining member 23. The retaining member 23 is formed on and downwardly extends out of the bottom surface of the covering plate 21. The retaining member 23 has at least one retaining wall 231 and at least one guiding surface 232. The at least one retaining wall 231 is formed on and downwardly extends out of the bottom surface of the covering plate 21. The at least one guiding surface 232 is formed on a bottom of a corresponding one of the at least one retaining wall 231.

(13) In addition, the top wall 22 has a bottom edge, two side surfaces, four slots 24, and two positioning arms 25. The two side surfaces of the top wall 22 are opposite to each other. Each two of the slots 24 are formed on one of the two side surfaces of the top wall 22 at a spaced interval and downwardly extend to the bottom edge of the top wall 22. Each one of the two positioning arms 25 is formed on a corresponding one of the two side surfaces of the top wall 22, is located between the two slots 24 on the corresponding one of the two side surfaces of the top wall 22, and has an inner surface and a fixing protrusion 26 formed on the inner surface. Furthermore, the covering plate 21 is rectangular.

(14) With reference to FIGS. 2 and 3, the bottom cover 30A is detachably disposed below the inked printing assembly and is located below the top cover 20 at a spaced interval. The bottom cover 30A has a supporting plate 31, a bottom wall 32, and a chamber 33. The supporting plate 31 has an outer edge. The bottom wall 32 is formed on and upwardly protrudes out of an outer edge of the supporting plate 31. The chamber 33 is formed in the bottom cover 30A and is enclosed by the bottom wall 32. The supporting plate 31 of the bottom cover 30A has a bottom surface. The bottom cover 30A has a grabbing member 34. The grabbing member 34 is disposed on and protrudes out of the bottom surface of the supporting plate 31.

(15) The grabbing member 34 has a wing 341 and two slip-proof portions 342. The wing 341 is disposed on the bottom surface of the supporting plate 31, extends downwardly, and has two side surfaces. The two slip-proof portions 342 are respectively formed on the two side surfaces of the wing 341. The supporting plate 31 has a top surface opposite to the bottom surface of the supporting plate 31. The bottom cover 30A has at least one protruding element 35. The at least one protruding element 35 is formed on and protrudes out of the top surface of the supporting plate 31 and is inserted into the chamber 33 of the bottom cover 30A. With reference to FIG. 1, the supporting plate 31 of the bottom cover 30A is rectangular. With reference to FIG. 10, the supporting plate 31 of the bottom cover 30B is circular.

(16) With reference to FIGS. 2 and 5, in delivery, the inked printing assembly 10 is not assembled completely. An inked member 12 is disposed in a fixing seat 14 of the inked printing assembly 10. The top cover 20 is disposed on a top end of the inked member 12. The retaining member 23 is inserted into the inked member 12. The covering plate 21 of the top cover 20 abuts against the top end of the inked member 12. The top wall 22 of the top cover 20 is disposed around the top end of the inked member 12. The positioning arms 25 of the top cover 20 engage with the inked member 12 by the fixing protrusions 26. The top frame 17 of the printing member 13 engages with the inked member 12. An ink pad 16 of the printing member 13 is disposed on the top frame 17. The bottom cover 30A is inserted into the fixing seat 14 and is located below the top frame 17 and the ink pad 16. A protecting cover 50 of the stamp is disposed on the fixing seat 14 and is located below the bottom cover 30A.

(17) When a user receives the inked printing assembly 10 not yet assembled completely, the bottom cover 30A can be detached by the wing 341 for preparing the subsequent assembly operation. With reference to FIG. 4, a block 15 of the printing member 13 is exposed and etched, and then the block 15 is disposed on a bottom frame 18.

(18) With reference to FIGS. 6 and 7, the block 15 and the bottom frame 18 engage with the top frame 17 by the bottom cover 30A. The block 15 of the printing member 13 is deposited on the bottom frame 18 of the printing member 13 and is inserted into the fixing seat 14. The bottom cover 30A is inserted into the fixing seat 14 and abuts against the bottom frame 18 of the printing member 13. A top edge of the bottom wall 32 of the bottom cover 30A abuts against an outer edge of a bottom surface of the bottom frame 18. The two hands of the user grab against two sides of the top cover 20 and two sides of the bottom cover 30A for applying force. Each of the two hands abuts the top cover 20 and the bottom cover 30A. The bottom frame 18 is pushed by the bottom cover 30A. The engaging protrusions 171 of the top frame 17 are respectively inserted into the engaging recesses 181 of the bottom frame 18. The bottom frame 18 is uniformly forced for engaging with the top frame 17. With reference to FIGS. 7 to 9, the top cover 20 and the bottom cover 30A disposed on the inked printing assembly 10 that is completely assembled can be detached. A handle 40, a restoring member, and the protecting cover 50 are assembled on the inked printing assembly 10 to finish the assembly of the stamp.

(19) Accordingly, the covering assembly can assist with assembling the top frame 17 and the bottom frame 18. The covering plate 21 of the top cover 20 and the bottom wall 32 of the bottom cover 30A, 30B can transfer the pointed force into the planar force for increasing a contact area. The bottom frame 18 can be uniformly forced for engaging with the top frame 17 smoothly. The forcing uniformity and the assembly convenience are increased.

(20) In addition, the covering assembly can be disposed on the inked printing assembly 10 not yet assembled completely. The top cover 20 and the bottom cover 30A, 30B can protect ink in the ink pad from evaporating during delivery. Furthermore, the grabbing member 34 of the bottom cover 30A can be easily grabbed by the user for detaching the bottom cover 30A from the fixing seat 14. Grabbing stability is increased by the slip-proof portions 342 of the grabbing member 34.
