Abstract
A self-inking stamp with overhead inking, with a lower component for placement on the surface to be stamped, with a swivel mechanism for a print platen support arranged in the lower component for swiveling reciprocal movement of a print platen support between a stamp pad and a support frame, and with an actuator upper component mounted for slideable movement against the bias of a spring relative to the lower component, the upper component straddling the lower component and connected by its lateral parts to the lower component by a print platen support swivel axle guided in elongated openings of the lower component, whereby the actuator upper component is provided with a substantially U-shaped body portion and a hood part of transparent material pivotally connected therewith and covering an oblique text receiving plate at the upper transverse member of the body portion and the open fron section of the body portion, and whereby the lower component in a direction away from the stamp pad receptacle at its front section forms an opening in a downward direction, the opening being covered by a transparent wall member extending upwardly from the support frame which is connected with the lower component by a resilient snap connection.
