STAMP AND DEVICE FOR RECEIVING AN INKING PAD

The invention relates to a holding fixture (23) for a carrier device (5) of a stamp pad (4), in particular for a stamp (1) with a pivotable printing plate carrier (8), in which a shaft (20) with an approximately rectangular cross section is arranged, and the carrier device (5) for the stamp pad (4) is mounted therein, and if necessary can be pushed out relative to the shaft (20), and with a holding device (31) which positions the carrier devic e (5) relative to the guide track of the shaft (20) in its position of work or use (33). A further holding device (32) is arranged, by means of which the carrier device (5) together with the stamp pad (4) can be positioned in a replacement or maintenance position (34) remote from the position of work or use (33), is restrictable relative to the shaft (20) on how far i t can be pushed out, whereby said further holding device (32) can, if necessary, be deactivated or overcome by applying increased displacement forces on the carrier device (5).
