THEODORE BROWN Arundel, Middle Road Bournemouth Engraver's Apprentice.
I do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates especially to rubber stamps for stationery and the like.
Two slabs are connected together by parallel links, hinged at each end. The
upper slab has the rubber die mounted in parts according to colours required.
The lower slab has one or more ink pads at each end. When the two slabs
are brought into close contact with each other by the parallel movement to
either side, an impression is received at the centre of the lower slab from one
part of the rubber die, while the other part or parts are receiving ink from their
respective pads.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvement in Self-inking Hand Stamps for Stamping in Two or
More Colours.
THEODORE BROWN of Arundel, Middle Road Bournemouth Engraver do
hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to
be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
My invention relates especially to rubber stamps for stationery and the like.
Two slabs are connected together by parallel links. The upper slab has the rubber
die mounted in parts according to colours required. The lower slab has two or
more inkpads at each end. When the two slabs are brought into close contact
with each other by the parallel movement to either side an impression is received
at the centre of the lower slab from one part of the rubber die while the other
part or parts are receiving ink from their respective pads. The press may be made
in wood or metal and constructed in the following manner :-
Two slabs of equal sizes and linked together with two equal size links in a
parallel position the links being fixed at each end, one being one end and the other
the other end, in such a way that the two slabs can be brought together in a flat
position by moving them to and fro. The under side of the top slab is furnished
with a rubber die mounted in portions at two separate positions. On the top side
of the lower slab near the ends is mounted ink pads, made of cloth, charged with
different colored inks from which the rubber dies receive their supply of ink. In
addition to the two slabs and the links there are also two side flaps which are
hinged on the sides of the lower slab; these act as a bed or rest on which to place
the matter to be stamped upon. When not in use these side flaps can be folded in a
closed position to the sides of the upper or top slab and are held in that position by
means of a catch which is placed in a suitable way on the upper side of the top
slab, thus the press forms a compact box in itself with a small wood or metal handle
fixed in the centre of the upper side of the top slab.
The following is an explanation of the drawings which accompany :—
Figure 1 represents the side elevation.
Figure 2 shows the end elevation with the press closed.
Figure 2 also chame and elevation but with press one ready for use.

E hinged back by which the parallel movements are governed.
F the ink pads.
G centre pad at which point impressions are received.
H lower slab on which the pads are mounted.
I represents the side flaps when the press is open.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is:-
1. That my invention as described, a rubber stamp press for stamping in two or
more colors, is on a new and different construction to any yet invented.
2. That the method used for adjusting two metal or wood slabs together by
means of links or hinges at each end in such a way as to give the slabs a parallel
movement and allowing them to be brought together in a flat position with each
other at two different angles is also new.
3. I further claim that mounting the die in parts at two separate positions on the
under side of one of the slabs in such a way that when the two slabs are brought
together one part of the die is receiving ink while the other part of the die is
making an impression is also new.
Dated this 19th day of October 1893.
