DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
(15) With reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, a first embodiment of a fixture for a photosensitive seal machine in accordance with the present invention comprises a frame 10. The frame 10 has a top surface, a bottom surface, multiple locating recesses 11, and multiple retaining faces 12. The bottom surface of the frame 10 is opposite to the top surface of the frame 10. The locating recesses 11 are formed through the top surface and the bottom surface of the frame 10 at spaced intervals. The retaining faces 12 are formed in the frame 10 and respectively surround the locating recesses 11 of the frame 10. Furthermore, the fixture has an auxiliary locating face 13. The auxiliary locating face 13 is formed around an outer surface of the frame 10. In the first embodiment of the fixture, the frame 10 is rectangular in shape. The locating recesses 11 are rectangular in shape.
(16) With reference to FIG. 3, in a second embodiment of the fixture in accordance with the present invention, the frame 10 is rectangular in shape. The locating recesses 11 are circular in shape. Furthermore, the fixture has multiple locating notches 14. The locating notches 14 are respectively formed in the retaining faces 12 and are respectively in communication with the locating recesses 11. Stamps (not shown) having circular outer surfaces may be deposited to the locating recesses 11, which are circular. Each one of the circular outer surfaces of the stamps has a retaining protrusion. The retaining protrusion is inserted into a corresponding locating notch 14 of one of the locating recesses 11 of the frame 10 for preventing rotation of the stamp having the circular outer surface. Therefore, the stamp having the circular outer surface is retained securely.
(17) With reference to FIGS. 4, 9, and 10, in an exposure progress of the stamps 40, a transfer paper 30 is deposited on the photosensitive seal machine 20 and the fixture is deposited on the transfer paper 30 to locate at least one of the stamps 40.
(18) With reference to FIGS. 5 and 10, the photosensitive seal machine 20 has a seat 21, a plate 24, an exposure apparatus 22, and a cover 23. The plate 24 is translucent and is mounted on a top surface of the seat 21. The exposure apparatus 22 is mounted in the seat 21 below the plate 24. The cover 23 is pivotally connected to and covers the seat 21.
(19) With reference to FIG. 6, the transfer paper 30 is put on the plate 24 that is mounted on the seat 21. The transfer paper 30 has multiple exposed areas 32 and multiple dotted lines 31. The exposed areas 32 are formed on the transfer paper 30 at spaced intervals and have patterns or characters formed on the exposed areas 32. The dotted lines 31 are formed on the transfer paper 30 and respectively surround the exposed areas 32.
(20) With reference to FIG. 7, the frame 10 is deposited on a top surface of the transfer paper 30. The locating recesses 11 of the frame 10 are respectively corresponding to the exposed areas 32 of the transfer paper 30 in shape. The outer edges of the locating recesses 11 respectively align with the dotted lines 31 surrounding the exposed areas 32.
(21) With reference to FIGS. 8 to 10, the stamps 40 are respectively deposited into the locating recesses 11 of the frame 10. The printing faces 41 of the stamps 40 respectively contact the exposed areas 32 of the transfer paper 30. The outer surfaces of the stamps 40 are respectively retained by the retaining faces 12 of the frame 10. The stamps 40 may be positioned securely in the frame 10. Upon shock or vibration or when the cover 23 is covering the seat, the printing faces 41 of the stamps 40 may still contact the exposed areas 32 of the transfer paper 30. The printing faces 41 of the stamps 40 are hard to deviate from the exposed areas 32 of the transfer paper 30.
(22) With reference to FIG. 11, when the cover 23 covers the seat, the printing faces 41 of the stamps 40 are exposed by the exposure apparatus 22 of the photosensitive seal machine 20. The patterns or the characters shown on the exposed areas 32 of the transfer paper 30 are transfer printed on the printing faces 41 of the stamps 40.
(23) With reference to FIGS. 11 and 12, the seat 21 further has a wall 25. The wall 25 is formed on the top surface of the seat 21 above the plate 24. When the frame 10 is mounted on the transfer paper 30, the wall 25 surrounds the auxiliary locating face 13 of the frame 10 for retaining the frame 10.
(24) Accordingly, the fixture may be deposited on the transfer paper 30. The locating recesses 11 of the fixture respectively align with the exposed areas 32 of the transfer paper 30, and then the stamps 40 are further deposited into the locating recesses 11 of the frame 10. The printing faces 41 of the stamps 40 align with the exposed areas 32 of the transfer paper 30 and would not move out of the exposed areas 32 of the transfer paper 30. The adjustment time of positioning each one of the stamps 40 is decreased. After each one of the stamps 40 is aligned with the locating recess 11 of the frame 10, the printing face 41 of each one of the stamps 40 is hard to deviate. Therefore, the locating effect of the fixture is good to increase the exposure effect of the stamps 40 and raise the yield rate of the stamps 40.
(25) For producing a certain mass quantity of the stamps, the times of exposure of the photosensitive seal machine 20 are decreased since the yield rate of the stamps 40 is increased. In addition, within certain times of exposure of the photosensitive seal machine 20, the production quantity of the exposed stamps is increased since the yield rate of the stamps 40 is raised. The fixture for a photosensitive seal machine 20 has an advantage of improving the working efficiency.
