ABSTRACT:

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention is related to an ink refillable stamp, and more particularly to an ink refillable stamp which can be formed with any configurations of stamping sheet such as circular, rectangular, triangular and is refilled with ink easily.
2. Description of Related Art
Referring to
FIGS. 8 and 9
, a conventional ink refillable stamp has a handle (
81
) with a cap (
80
) mounted on a tubular portion of an outer housing (
82
). An inner housing (
83
) is received in the outer housing (
82
) and has a stamping body (
84
) mounted therein by an upper frame (
841
) and a lower frame (
842
). The stamping body (
84
) has a plurality of ink inlets (
843
) defined in an upper surface thereof and each ink inlet (
843
) has one of a plurality of pins (
844
) formed therein. A sponge (
86
) is provided in the stamping body (
84
) and a stamping sheet (
87
) is provided beneath the sponge (
86
). A bottom cover (
85
) is provided under the stamping body (
84
). The outer housing (
82
), the inner housing (
83
), the stamping body (
84
) are all rectangular. The outer housing (
82
) and the inner housing (
83
) have openings defined at short sides thereof. The stamping body (
84
) can be drawn out from the openings for ink refilling. In ink refilling, the pins pierce seals of inverted ink bottles, and ink flows into the stamping body (
84
) and is absorbed by the sponge (
86
) in the stamping body (
84
).
However, because the stamping body (
84
) is drawn out from a side of the housings (
82
,
83
), it must be the rectangular. Thus, patterns of the conventional stamp also cannot be formed with other configuration except the rectangle. If it is possible to make other patterns such as a circle, a triangle, or a polygon on the rectangular stamping body, it is not easy for a user to position the stamp in a correct location because of the difference between the pattern and the stamping body.
Therefore, the invention provides an improved ink refillable stamp to mitigate and/or obviate the aforementioned problems.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The main objective of the present invention is to provide an ink refillable stamp which is able to be made with any configuration for correctly positioning a stamping pattern.
Another objective of the present invention is to provide an ink refillable stamp which is refilled with ink easily.
Another objective of the present invention is to provide an ink refillable stamp which can help a user correctly position the pattern.
Other objects, advantages and novel features of the invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
