However, in the conventional stacking box, it is difficult to stack the photosensitive materials that have fallen spontaneously in the processing order. For example, since the photosensitive material that has dropped into the stacking box is supported in a nearly vertical shape, the photosensitive material that drops later may drop between the photosensitive materials that dropped before. Alternatively, the curl-sensitive photosensitive material may not reach the bottom surface of the accumulation box and may be jammed on the way. When the photosensitive material is successively fed into the stacking box in this state, the photosensitive material overflows from the stacking box before the number of stackable sheets is reached.

In view of the above facts, the present invention takes the photosensitive material discharged from the discharge port of the automatic developing device into the accumulation box in the order of discharge,
Further, it is an object to obtain a photosensitive material integrated structure for an automatic developing device, which can be smoothly integrated.

The structure of the photosensitive material accumulating portion for the automatic developing device for accumulating the photosensitive material according to claim 1, which has an internal space for accumulating the photosensitive material discharged from the discharge port and naturally falling while leaning against one inner wall. However, a concave portion for accommodating the lower end of the light-sensitive material leaned against is formed in the lower portion of the inner wall facing the one inner wall of the photosensitive material accumulating portion.

The invention described in claim 2 is the same as claim 1
In the structure of the photosensitive material accumulating portion for the automatic developing device described,
One inner wall of the photosensitive material accumulating portion is inclined toward the concave portion.

[0008]

In the structure of the photosensitive material accumulating portion for an automatic developing device according to the present invention, the lower end of the photosensitive material is provided at the lower portion of the inner wall of the internal space for accumulating the photosensitive material arranged below the photosensitive material discharge port. By forming the concave portion for accommodating, the lower end of the photosensitive material discharged by natural fall from the discharge port enters the concave portion, so that the photosensitive material is leaned against one inner wall of the space of the integrated structure. Accumulate.

In the structure of the photosensitive material accumulating portion for the automatic developing device according to the present invention, the lower end portion of the photosensitive material smoothly enters into the space even when the photosensitive material is curled. As described above, by forming the slope toward the recess on the inner wall, the photosensitive material is more surely accumulated in a state of leaning against one inner wall.
