Claims
  • 1. A plate mounting cylinder comprising: a magnet cylinder with an outer surface on which a plate is to be mounted magnetically; andnot less than four reference pins which are provided to said outer surface of said magnet cylinder and engage with a pair of reference engaging portions formed in said plate.
  • 2. A cylinder according to claim 1, wherein said magnet cylinder supports said reference pins to be retractable with respect to said outer surface of said magnet cylinder.
  • 3. A cylinder according to claim 1, wherein said plate comprises not less than two divisional plates which are to be mounted to line up in an axial direction of said magnet cylinder, andsaid pair of reference engaging portions of each of said divisional plates selectively engage with two of said reference pins.
  • 4. A cylinder according to claim 1, further comprising a plurality of reference pin rows comprising said reference pins which line up in the axial direction of said magnet cylinder, wherein said plurality of reference pin rows are arranged at different positions in a circumferential direction of said magnet cylinder.
  • 5. A cylinder according to claim 4, wherein said plate comprises not less than two divisional plates which are mounted to line up in a circumferential direction of said magnet cylinder, andsaid pair of reference engaging portions of each of said divisional plates selectively engage with two of said reference pins.
  • 6. A cylinder according to claim 1, further comprising a magnet portion provided at least between said reference pins which are adjacent in an axial direction of said magnet cylinder.
  • 7. A cylinder according to claim 6, wherein said magnet portion is arranged in the axial direction of said magnet cylinder to sandwich said reference pins.
  • 8. A cylinder according to claim 6, wherein said magnet portion comprises a plurality of band-like magnet portions which extend parallel to the axial direction of said magnet throughout a substantially entire range of said outer surface of said magnet cylinder.
  • 9. A cylinder according to claim 8, wherein said band-like magnet portions comprise a plurality of magnets and a plurality of yokes which are arranged alternately in the axial direction of said magnet cylinder.
  • 10. A cylinder according to claim 1, wherein said magnet cylinder opposes a transport cylinder comprising a holding device which holds a sheet under conveyance, and includes a recess at a position which opposes said holding device.
  • 11. A cylinder according to claim 1, wherein said plate including a cutting blade which is to be machined simultaneously with said reference engaging portions is mounted on said outer surface of said magnet cylinder.
  • 12. A cylinder according to claim 1, wherein said magnet cylinder includes a support hole which opens to said outer surface and supports a corresponding one of said reference pins, and a female threaded portion formed in said support hole,each of said reference pins includes a screw portion which threadably engages with said female threaded portion, androtation of each of said reference pins causes said screw portion to threadably engage with said female threaded portion to move said corresponding one of said reference pins forward/backward.
  • 13. A cylinder according to claim 12, wherein each of said reference pins includes a large-diameter portion between said screw portion and a head portion, andsaid magnet cylinder includes a regulation member which is formed in an opening of said support hole and against which said large-diameter portion abuts to regulate projection of said corresponding one of said reference pins to exceed a predetermined amount.
