Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Selbstfärbestempel der Art, wie im einleitenden Teil von Anspruch 1 angegeben.The invention relates to a self-inking stamp Kind as indicated in the introductory part of claim 1.

Ein Selbstfärbestempel mit einem beweglichen Typenaggregat, das nur schleifenförmige Typenbänder trägt, und dem ein Schwenkmechanismus für ein Farbkissen zugeordnet ist, ist aus der US 3 783 786 A bekannt. Die AT 384 999 B zeigt einen Selbstfärbestempel mit verstellbaren Typen auf schleifenförmigen Typenbändern und daneben angeordnete feststehende Typen. Weiters ist ein Selbstfärbestempel vorgenannter Art vorgeschlagen worden, vgl. z.B. AT 383 993 B, bei dem die auf schleifenförmigen Typenbändern angeordneten verstellbaren Stempeltypen, welche sich in der Abdruckposition befinden, mittig im Abdruckfeld des betreffenden Stempels in einer Öffnung der die feststehenden Stempeltypen tragenden Trag- oder Druckplatte angeordnet sind. Dadurch ergibt sich aber ein verhältnismäßig großer Platzbedarf für die Tragplatte, auf der die feststehenden Stempeltypen angeordnet sind, da zwischen der Stützleiste, über welche die Typenbänder des betreffenden Stempels geführt sind, und dem Rand der Öffnung, welche in der genannten Tragplatte für das Anordnen der auf den Typenbändern befindlichen verstellbaren Stempeltypen vorgesehen ist, beiderseits dieser Stützleiste ein das Passieren dieser Typenbänder ermöglichender Abstand vorgesehen sein muß. Weiter erfordert das Erzielen eines gleichmäßig farbgesättigten Stempelabdruckes bei diesem bekannten Stempelaufbau eine exakte Einstellung des Niveaus der Abdruckflächen der verstellbaren Stempeltypen auf das Niveau der Abdruckflächen der feststehenden Stempeltypen, wofür in der Regel besondere Einstellvorrichtungen, mit denen die Lage der verstellbaren Stempeltypen in bezug auf die Lage der feststehenden Stempeltypen justiert werden kann, vorgesehen sind. Solche zusätzlichen Einrichtungen erhöhen die Gestehungskosten und verlangen auch eine sorgfältige Handhabung, welche oftmals nicht erreicht werden kann. Die bei diesen bekannten Stempeln gegebenen verhältnismäßig großen Abmessungen der die feststehenden Stempeltypen tragenden Tragplatte ergeben auch verhältnismäßig große Abmessungen des schwenkbaren Typenaggregates, zu welchem diese Tragplatte gehört, und daraus folgend auch verhältnismäßig große Abmessungen des ganzen Selbstfärbestempels, was von der Handhabung und Unterbringung oft unerwünscht ist und auch die Herstellungskosten erhöht. A self-inking stamp with a movable type aggregate, that only carries loop-shaped type straps, and that has a swivel mechanism assigned for a color pad is from the US 3 783 786 A is known. The AT 384 999 B shows one Self-inking stamp with adjustable types on loop-shaped Type bands and fixed types arranged next to them. Furthermore a self-inking stamp of the aforementioned type has been proposed, see. e.g. AT 383 993 B, in which the on loop-shaped Type bands arranged adjustable stamp types, which are in the impression position, in the middle of the impression field of the relevant stamp in an opening of the fixed Stamp-carrying or pressure plate are arranged. However, this results in a relatively large space requirement for the support plate on which the fixed stamp types are arranged because between the support bar over which the Type tapes of the stamp in question, and the edge the opening which is arranged in the support plate for the arrangement the adjustable stamp types on the type tapes is provided on both sides of this support bar a passing of these type bands allowing distance must be provided. Furthermore, achieving an evenly saturated color requires Stamp imprint with this known stamp structure an exact Adjustment of the level of the imprint areas of the adjustable Stamp types to the level of the imprint areas of the fixed Stamp types, for which usually special setting devices, with which the location of the adjustable stamp types in relation be adjusted to the position of the fixed stamp types can be provided. Increase such additional facilities the production costs and also require careful handling, which often cannot be achieved. The one with these known stamps given relatively large dimensions the supporting plate carrying the fixed stamp types also result in relatively large dimensions of the pivotable Type unit to which this support plate belongs, and from it following also relatively large dimensions of the whole Self-inking stamp, what of the handling and accommodation is often undesirable and also increases manufacturing costs.

Aus der GB 1702 A.D. 1909 und CH 182 745 A sind ferner Handstempel bekannt, bei denen auf schleifenförmigen Typenbändern angeordnete variierbare Stempeltypen mit festen Stempeltypen kombiniert sind. Die variierbaren und festen Stempeltypen sind dabei an der Stempelunterseite über Stützleisten abgestützt, die fest in einem Gehäuseteil des Stempels angebracht sind. Im einzelnen zeigt die GB 1702 A.D. 1909 beidseits der Stützleiste für das Typenband Stützleisten mit festen Stempeltypen, die unverstellbar sein können oder aber wahlweise in eine Druckstellung oder in eine zurückgezogene Nicht-Druckstellung verstellt werden können. Demgegenüber ist beim in der CH 182 745 A gezeigten Stempel zur Beschriftung von Belegen nur an einer Seite der das Typenband abstützenden Stützleiste eine feste Stützleiste für einen festen Text vorhanden. Beiden bekannten Stempeln gemeinsam ist, daß sie keine Selbstfärbeeinrichtung mit einem Wendemechanismus für die Stempeltypen aufweisen. Solche Stempel werden üblicherweise vor der Erzeugung eines Stempelabdrucks auf ein gesondertes Stempelkissen gedrückt. Die GB 1702 A.D. 1909 zieht auch ein Einfärben der Stempeltypen mit einer über diese Typen geführten Farbwalze in Betracht. Es sind bei einer festen Anordnung der Stützleisten im Gehäuse kaum Probleme hinsichtlich eines besonderen Platzbedarfs und eines gleichmäßigen Abdrucks gegeben, wie dies bei Stempeln mit Selbstfärbeeinrichtung mit Wendemechanismus für die Stempeltypen der Fall ist.From GB 1702 A.D. 1909 and CH 182 745 A are also hand stamps known, where on loop-shaped type tapes arranged variable stamp types with fixed stamp types are combined. The variable and fixed stamp types are supported on the underside of the stamp via support strips which are firmly attached in a housing part of the stamp. in the GB 1702 A.D. 1909 on both sides of the support bar for the type band support strips with fixed stamp types, the may not be adjustable or alternatively in a printing position or adjusted to a retracted non-pressure position can be. In contrast, in CH 182 745 A shown stamp for labeling documents only on one Side of the support strip supporting the type band a fixed Support bar for a fixed text available. Known to both Stamping in common is that they don't have a self-inking device have a turning mechanism for the stamp types. Such Stamps are usually printed before a stamp is created pressed onto a separate ink pad. GB 1702 A.D. In 1909 the stamp types were also colored with a ink roller guided over these types. It is with a fixed arrangement of the support strips in the housing hardly any problems with regard to a special space requirement and a uniform Given the impression, as with stamps with self-inking device with the turning mechanism for the stamp types.

Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, einen Selbstfärbestempel eingangs erwähnter Art zu schaffen, welcher einen einfachen Aufbau und dabei insbesondere ein bewegliches Typenaggregat mit kleinen Abmessungen aufweist und so mit geringem Platzbedarf realisierbar ist, und der auch, selbst wenn bei seiner Verwendung keine besondere Sorgfalt geübt wird, exakte und gleichmäßig eingefärbte Abdrucke liefert.It is an object of the invention to provide a self-inking stamp to create a simple one Structure and in particular with a movable type unit has small dimensions and thus takes up little space is feasible, and even if it is used no special care is exercised, exact and even supplies colored impressions.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe sieht die Erfindung einen Selbstfärbestempel mit den im Anspruch 1 definierten Merkmalen vor.To achieve this object, the invention provides a self-inking stamp with the features defined in claim 1.

Mit der erfindungsgemäßen Ausbildung können, durch den gegenüber den bekannten Selbstfärbestempeln erzielten Wegfall eines Zwischenraumes zwischen den verstellbaren Stempeltypen und der Tragplatte der feststehenden Stempeltypen und durch den Wegfall eines Teiles der unvermeidlichen Randabstände zwischen den feststehenden Stempeltypen und dem Rand der Tragplatte, kleinere Abmessungen des Typenaggregates erzielt werden, wodurch auch entsprechend geringere Abmessungen des gesamten Selbstfärbestempels erreicht werden können. Durch die - an sich aus der CH 182 745 A bekannte - nebeneinanderliegende Anordnung der im wesentlichen streifenförmigen Tragplatte für die feststehenden Stempeltypen und der Stützleiste für die verstellbaren Stempeltypen treten auch beim schwenkbaren Typenaggregat des vorliegenden Selbstfärbestempels etwaige geringe Niveauunterschiede zwischen den Abdruckflächen der verstellbaren Stempeltypen einerseits und der feststehenden Stempeltypen andererseits nicht nachteilig in Erscheinung, weil solche geringe Niveauunterschiede durch ein geringfügiges Schrägstellen des ganzen Stempels, welches sich bei der Verwendung des Stempels selbsttätig ergibt, ausgeglichen werden, sofern sie nicht bereits beim Verschwenken des Typenaggregats durch den Wendemechanismus ausgeglichen werden. Solcherart kann von speziellen baulichen Maßnahmen zur Einstellung der Relativlage des Niveaus der verstellbaren Stempeltypen in bezug auf das Niveau der feststehenden Stempeltypen abgesehen werden, was eine bauliche Vereinfachung ergibt.With the training according to the invention, by the compared to the known self-inking stamps of a space between the adjustable stamp types and the support plate of the fixed stamp types and by the Elimination of part of the inevitable marginal distances between the fixed stamp types and the edge of the support plate, smaller dimensions of the type unit can be achieved, whereby correspondingly smaller dimensions of the entire self-inking stamp can be achieved. By - in itself the CH 182 745 A known - side by side arrangement of essentially strip-shaped support plate for the fixed Stamp types and the support bar for the adjustable Stamp types also occur with the swiveling type unit of the any slight differences in level between the impression areas of the adjustable stamp types on the one hand and the fixed stamp types on the other not detrimental in appearance because such small level differences by slightly tilting the whole Stamp, which is automatic when using the stamp results, are compensated, unless they are already at Swiveling of the type unit through the turning mechanism be balanced. Such can be of special structural Measures to adjust the relative position of the level of the adjustable Stamp types in relation to the level of fixed stamp types are disregarded, which is a structural Simplification results.

Ein Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Selbstfärbestempels, welche bei einfachem Aufbau eine stabile und kompakte Ausbildung des Typenaggregates erzielen läßt, ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß die Stützleiste mit dem Zentralkörper des Typenaggregates, welcher das Einstellrad bzw. die Einstellräder trägt, einstückig geformt ist.An embodiment of the self-inking stamp according to the invention, which with a simple construction a stable and compact Training of the type unit can be achieved is characterized in that the support bar with the central body of the Type unit, which the adjustment wheel or the adjustment wheels wears, is integrally formed.

Hinsichtlich eines möglichst einfachen Zusammenbaues des Typenaggregates ist eine Ausführungsform vorteilhaft, welche dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, daß die Tragplatte über eine Einrastverbindung mit dem Zentralkörper des Typenaggregates verbunden ist.With regard to the simplest possible assembly of the Type unit is an embodiment advantageous, which thereby is characterized in that the support plate via a snap connection connected to the central body of the type unit is.

Eine besonders vorteilhafte Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Selbstfärbestempels, welche eine exakte Positionierung der zum Abdruck vorgesehenen verstellbaren Stempeltypen auch dann sichert, wenn bei der Verwendung des Stempels ein stärkerer Schub auf die von den feststehenden Stempeltypen abgewandte Randseite der verstellbaren Stempeltypen ausgeübt wird, ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß das wenigstens eine Typenband an seiner Innenfläche mit in regelmäßigen Abständen zueinander angeordneten Querrippen versehen ist, und die Stützleiste an der Typenbandauflageseite mindestens eine Eingriffsnut zum Eingriff dieser Querrippen aufweist.A particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention Self-inking stamp, which an exact positioning of the adjustable stamp types intended for printing then backs up if a stronger one when using the stamp Thrust on the averted from the fixed stamp types Edge of the adjustable stamp types is exercised characterized in that the at least one type tape its inner surface with each other at regular intervals arranged transverse ribs is provided, and the support bar on the Type tape support side at least one engagement groove for engagement this has transverse ribs.

Im Sinne einer einfachen Montage des Typenaggregates ist es auch vorteilhaft, wenn der Zentralkörper eine offene Lagerschale aufweist, in welche das Einstellrad eingelegt ist. Es ergibt sich dabei in Verbindung mit der vorerwähnten Ausbildung des Typenbandes (bzw. der Typenbänder) mit Querrippen eine besonders vorteilhafte Ausführungsform, welche das Positionieren der jeweils zum Abdruck vorgesehenen verstellbaren Stempeltypen erleichtert, wenn die Lagerfläche der Lagerschale eine regelmäßig polygonale Prismenfläche ist und das Einstellrad außen an seiner Auflagefläche in zu dieser Prismenfläche korrespondierenden Winkelabständen und den gegenseitigen Abständen der Querrippen des Typenbandes aufeinanderfolgende Querrippen trägt.In the sense of a simple assembly of the type unit, it is also advantageous if the central body has an open bearing shell has, in which the dial is inserted. It results himself in connection with the aforementioned training of Type tape (or type tapes) with cross ribs a special one advantageous embodiment, which the positioning of the adjustable stamp types intended for printing relieved when the bearing surface of the bearing shell a regular polygonal prism surface and the dial on the outside its contact surface in corresponding to this prism surface Angular distances and the mutual distances of the transverse ribs of the type band carries consecutive cross ribs.

Eine andere, baulich sehr einfache Ausführungsform ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß das Einstellrad mit einer Lagerausnehmung versehen und auf einer Lagerachse gelagert ist, welche an den Zentralkörper angeformt oder angesetzt ist.Another, structurally very simple embodiment is characterized in that the setting wheel with a bearing recess provided and mounted on a bearing axis, which is molded or attached to the central body.

Gemäß einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß der Zentralkörper aus zwei über Stiftverbindungen zusammengesteckten Teilen besteht, wobei die Stützleiste und die Tragplatte direkt an diese Teile angeformt sind.According to a further preferred embodiment of the invention it is provided that the central body consists of two pin connections assembled parts there, the support bar and the support plate are molded directly onto these parts.

    • Der in Fig.1 dargestellte Selbstfärbestempel 1 hat - ähnlich wie der Stempel z.B. gemäß der AT 383 993 B - ein Gehäuse 2, an dessen Oberseite, nach unten weisend, ein Farbkissen 3 angeordnet ist. Im Gehäuse 2 ist Typenaggregat 4 schwenkbar gelagert, welches nebeneinander auf einer Tragplatte 5 angeordnete feststehende Stempeltypen 6 und auf schleifenförmigen Typenbändern 7 angeordnete verstellbare Stempeltypen 8 trägt. Durch Auf- und Abbewegen einer Betätigungshandhabe 9 im Sinne des Doppelpfeiles 10 wird das Typenaggregat 4 mittels eines Wendemechanismus 11 abwechselnd gegen das Farbkissen 3 und auf eine zu bestempelnde Fläche 12 gedrückt, wobei die Stempeltypen 6, 8 vom Farbkissen 3 Farbe aufnehmen und dann auf der Fläche 12 einen entsprechenden Abdruck bilden. Die schleifenförmigen Typenbänder 7 sind je über ein dem betreffenden Typenband 7 zugeordnetes Einstellrad 13 und über eine Stützleiste 14 geführt, welche die jeweils zum Abdruck vorgesehene Stempeltype 8 des betreffenden Typenbandes 7 unterstützt.The self-inking stamp 1 shown in FIG. 1 has - similar like the stamp e.g. according to AT 383 993 B - a housing 2 a color pad 3 is arranged on the top thereof, pointing downwards is. Type unit 4 is pivotally mounted in housing 2, which is arranged side by side on a support plate 5 fixed Stamp types 6 and on loop-type bands 7 arranged adjustable stamp types 8 carries. By opening and Moving an actuating handle 9 in the sense of the double arrow 10 is the type unit 4 by means of a turning mechanism 11 alternately against the ink pad 3 and on one to be stamped Surface 12 pressed, the stamp types 6, 8 from the ink pad 3 Pick up color and then a corresponding one on surface 12 Make an impression. The loop-type belts 7 are each over a dial 13 and the associated type band 7 guided over a support bar 14, which are each for printing intended stamp type 8 of the relevant type band 7 supported.

    Wie aus den Fig.3 und 4 ersehen werden kann, ist beim vorliegenden Stempel 1 die Stützleiste 14 exzentrisch bezüglich der parallel zur geometrischen Drehachse 15 der Einstellräder 13 und senkrecht auf die Zeichenebene verlaufenden Mittellinie 16 des Abdruckfeldes 17 des Stempels 1 längs des einen Randes 18 des im wesentlichen rechteckigen Abdruckfeldes 17 angeordnet, der parallel zu dieser Mittellinie 16 verläuft. Die Tragplatte 5 ist gleichfalls exzentrisch bezüglich dieser Mittellinie 16 längs des anderen Randes 19 des im wesentlichen rechteckigen Abdruckfeldes 17 angeordnet, der gleichfalls parallel zur genannten Mittellinie 16 - und somit zur Drehachse 15 - verläuft. Die Stützleiste 14 und die Tragplatte 5 sind am Zentralkörper 20 des Typenaggregates 4 angeordnet, wobei die Stützleiste 14 am Zentralkörper 20 angeformt ist (d.h. einstückig mit diesem geformt ist) und die Tragplatte 5 mit einer nur schematisch in Fig.2 gezeigten, an sich herkömmlichen Einrastverbindung 21 an den Zentralkörper 20 angesetzt ist.As can be seen from Figures 3 and 4, the stamp 1 present the support bar 14 eccentrically with respect the parallel to the geometric axis of rotation 15 of the dials 13 and the center line 16 of the Imprint field 17 of the stamp 1 along one edge 18 of the arranged essentially rectangular imprint field 17, the runs parallel to this center line 16. The support plate 5 is likewise eccentric with respect to this center line 16 along the other edge 19 of the substantially rectangular imprint field 17 arranged, which is also parallel to the above Center line 16 - and thus to the axis of rotation 15 - runs.
