Abstract
Abstract A stamp holder and pad increment for magnetically supporting office stamps, and the like, in position for immediate use adapted for employment as a single unit or in multiples, comprising an elongated pan-shaped base in which is disposed an inking pad, the base including a front wall of inverted V cross section having end wall portions in each of which is an aperture, a rear wall of inverted V cross section of substantially greater height than the front wall having end wall portions each of which includes an interiorly directed boss adapted to be removably engaged in the apertures of the front wall portions, a stamp support of inverted V cross section secured on the rear wall which is of magnetic material adapted to receive a magnetic strip secured to the side of a stamp for support of the latter in selected position above the inking pad in position for pushing downwardly into engagement therewith on selection for use, the bosses being readily snapped into engagement with and freed from the apertures, thereby enabling quick addition or removal of a stamp pad increment.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
149 words
A stamp holder and inking pad unit comprising, in combination, a base, stationary front and rear walls, and an inking pad on said base, one of said front and rear walls being of greater height than said other, said wall of greater height including a magnetic material stamp holder adapted to support office stamps, and the like, in position above the inking pad, said walls being of inverted V cross section, said wall of greater height being of a width to fit over the corresponding other wall of an adjacent second pad unit, said magnetic material stamp holder including downwardly divergent legs of inverted V cross section mounted on said higher wall, one leg supporting office stamps, and the like, in position above said inking pad and the other leg supporting office stamps, and the like, above a pad of a second unit adjacent said wall of greater height.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
149 words
A stamp holder and inking pad unit comprising, in combination, a base, stationary front and rear walls, and an inking pad on said base, one of said front and rear walls being of greater height than said other, said wall of greater height including a magnetic material stamp holder adapted to support office stamps, and the like, in position above the inking pad, said walls being of inverted V cross section, said wall of greater height being of a width to fit over the corresponding other wall of an adjacent second pad unit, said magnetic material stamp holder including downwardly divergent legs of inverted V cross section mounted on said higher wall, one leg supporting office stamps, and the like, in position above said inking pad and the other leg supporting office stamps, and the like, above a pad of a second unit adjacent said wall of greater height.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
174 words
A stamp holder and inking pad unit comprising, in combination, a base, stationary front and rear walls, and an inking pad on said base, one of said front and rear walls being of greater height than said other, said wall of greater height including a magnetic material stamp holder adapted to support at least one office stamp, and the like, in position above the inking pad, said walls being of inverted V cross section, said wall of greater height being of a width to fit over the corresponding other wall of an adjacent second pad unit, said magnetic material stamp holder being of inverted V cross section and mounted on said higher wall, said front rear walls being closed at the ends, an opening in at least one closed end of the closed end of the other higher front or rear wall, the boss of one unit being adapted to fit into the opening of a wall of an adjacent unit for removably connecting the two units together for use as a multi-unit device.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
174 words
A stamp holder and inking pad unit comprising, in combination, a base, stationary front and rear walls, and an inking pad on said base, one of said front and rear walls being of greater height than said other, said wall of greater height including a magnetic material stamp holder adapted to support at least one office stamp, and the like, in position above the inking pad, said walls being of inverted V cross section, said wall of greater height being of a width to fit over the corresponding other wall of an adjacent second pad unit, said magnetic material stamp holder being of inverted V cross section and mounted on said higher wall, said front rear walls being closed at the ends, an opening in at least one closed end of the closed end of the other higher front or rear wall, the boss of one unit being adapted to fit into the opening of a wall of an adjacent unit for removably connecting the two units together for use as a multi-unit device.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
39 words
The combination of claim 2 and including end walls of inverted V cross section, and openings in the outer leg of the higher wall of a form to fit over the end walls of a like unit connected thereto.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
215 words
The combination of at least two separable interlocked stamp holder and inking pad units, each unit comprising a base, an inking pad on the base, a front wall, end walls, a rear wall, said walls being of inverted V cross section, said rear wall being higher than the other walls and having a magnetic portion of inverted V cross section, said front and rear walls being closed at the ends, an opening in each closed end of the front wall, an interior boss on the closed end of each rear wall, openings in the outer side of the rear wall of a configuration to straddle the end walls of a connected unit, the bosses of the rear wall of one unit being removably engaged in the openings of the front wall of an adjacent unit, the rear wall of the said one unit being disposed over the front wall of the said adjacent unit, the openings of the outer face of the rear wall of said one unit straddling the end walls of the said adjacent unit, said magnetic portion of the rear wall of said one unit adapted to support office stamps, and the like, on both sides above the inking pads of both units for pushing directly downward onto the pads upon selection.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
215 words
The combination of at least two separable interlocked stamp holder and inking pad units, each unit comprising a base, an inking pad on the base, a front wall, end walls, a rear wall, said walls being of inverted V cross section, said rear wall being higher than the other walls and having a magnetic portion of inverted V cross section, said front and rear walls being closed at the ends, an opening in each closed end of the front wall, an interior boss on the closed end of each rear wall, openings in the outer side of the rear wall of a configuration to straddle the end walls of a connected unit, the bosses of the rear wall of one unit being removably engaged in the openings of the front wall of an adjacent unit, the rear wall of the said one unit being disposed over the front wall of the said adjacent unit, the openings of the outer face of the rear wall of said one unit straddling the end walls of the said adjacent unit, said magnetic portion of the rear wall of said one unit adapted to support office stamps, and the like, on both sides above the inking pads of both units for pushing directly downward onto the pads upon selection.
