| 20120073458 | Crimping and inking notary seal - The invention provides an integrated inkpad and embosser which serves to apply ink and emboss simultaneously the surface of a document. The device applies ink to only the embossed areas of a document. Thus perfectly rendering the seal easily visible on originals and copies. Positioned on the distal end of the unit is a set of two embossing plates which emboss and ink a document when the jaws of the plates are squeezed together. The novel feature taught by the present invention is the inclusion of an inkpad positioned on the bottom of the upper jaw so that ink is applied to the surface of the document when the jaws are squeezed together. The inkpad is covered with a surface having openings to allow the flow of ink selectively to the tops of the embossed characters. | 03-29-2012 |
