Patent ID: 8695496

Claim:
An insert element for a stamp, comprising: a plurality of setting wheels disposed adjacent to one another, which are rotatably mounted on a shaft of an insert body, and the setting wheels are designed to support typeface belts, a cover element covering the typeface belts at least in the region of the setting wheels, the cover element comprising a main body with a U-shaped cross section by reference to the shaft with end regions with end wall parts spaced apart from one another in the direction of the shaft, at least one continuous connecting web essentially extending between the spaced apart end regions disposed at least in an apex region of the U-shaped main body, and a curved portion of the U-shaped main body essentially extends along a circumferential region of the setting wheels, and the cover element is provided with slots through which setting wheel circumferences extend, at least one coupling mechanism for coupling the cover element with the insert body, which coupling mechanism comprises a first coupling element on the insert body and a second coupling element on the cover element co-operating therewith, the first and second coupling elements are designed so that the direction of the relative coupling movement of the first and second coupling elements with respect to one another is oriented approximately in the direction of the shaft of the insert body; and a guide mechanism provided between the end wall part of the cover element and a side part of the insert body.
