Abstract

A stamp pad is composed of a main body and a cover, and has two legs on a side portion of the main body for standing the stamp pad upright. Said main body and cover can be separated from each other. Said legs support the main body to keep it standing upright, and the cover is fitted to the main body. Said stamp pad can stand obliquely. When said stamp pad is stood upright, the angle between the bottom of the main body and the plane on which the legs rest can be in the range of 75-85°. When the stamp pad is to be used, it is laid down. When it is not in use, the stamp pad can be stood upright.
