ABSTRACT:
An automated contact ink stamping apparatus characterized by a vertical printing stroke wherein the stamping die surface is mounted to a single piston and cylinder assembly for vertical movement therewith between a stamping position on the down stroke and returned to an ink reservoir on the upstroke. The stamping die surface is carried on a pivot block which in turn is mounted to the end of the piston in a manner which inverts the printing surface of the stamping die through 180 degrees between an upper position to mate with the ink pad of the ink reservoir and an opposing position to stamp indicia on a workpiece. A cam surface is provided to guide the path of travel of the stamp pivot block in response to its pivotal connection to a cam follower engaging the cam surface. A portion of the vertical extent of the cam surface which directs the final positioning of the stamping pivot block in its upper and lower positions includes a removably fixed insert which assures precisely locating the stamping die in its final upper and lowered position.
