Stamp and device for receiving an inking pad

A device comprising: a holding fixture for a carrier device of a stamp pad (, in particular for a stamp with a pivotable printing plate carrier, in which a shaft with an approximately rectangular cross section is arranged. The carrier device for the stamp pad is mounted therein, and if necessary can be pushed out relative to the shaft. A holding device positions the carrier device relative to the guide track of the shaft in its position of work or use. A further holding device enables the carrier device together with the stamp pad to be positioned in a replacement or maintenance position remote from the position of work or use, and to be restrictable relative to the shaft on how far it can be pushed out. The further holding device can, if necessary, be deactivated by applying increased displacement forces on the carrier device.
