[0010]

According to the first feature of the negative sheet accumulating method of the present invention, when the negative sheet accommodating the film is delivered from the delivery portion, the delivered negative sheet is received and is viewed by the negative sheet receiver in the longitudinal direction of the film. hand,
Negative sheets are stacked and accumulated in a bent or curved state. This can reduce the space for accumulating the negatives in a plan view.

According to the second feature of the negative sheet accumulating method of the present invention, one end side portion of the negative sheet fed from the feeding portion in the film juxtaposing direction is placed on the negative sheet receiver.
In addition, the negative sheets are stacked and accumulated in a state in which the negative sheets are bent or curved in a state in which the other portions are suspended. At this time, since the negative sheet receiving body is provided with the main receiving portion in the inclined posture and the auxiliary receiving portion protruding upward from the lower end portion of the main receiving portion, the negative sheet film juxtaposed on the negative sheet receiving body is juxtaposed. In the direction one end side part,
It slides down along the main receiving part in a tilted posture, and it is easy to come into contact with the auxiliary receiving part and stop.The one end side portion of the negative sheets stacked in the stacked state in the side-by-side direction at the auxiliary receiving part Will be easy to align.

According to the first characteristic configuration of the negative sheet accumulating apparatus of the present invention, when the negative sheet containing the film is sent out from the sending section, the negative sheet processing means receives the sent negative sheet, and the negative sheet receiver receives the negative sheet. Negative sheets are stacked and accumulated in a bent or curved state as seen in the longitudinal direction of the film. Thereby, the space for accumulating the negatives in a plan view can be reduced. According to the second characteristic configuration of the negative sheet stacking device of the present invention, the negative sheet processing means places one end side portion of the negative sheet fed in from the feeding portion in the film juxtaposition direction on the negative sheet receiver, and hangs the other portion. The negative sheets are stacked and accumulated in a state where the negative sheets are bent or curved. At this time,
Since the negative sheet receiver includes the main receiving portion in an inclined posture and the auxiliary receiving portion projecting upward from the lower end portion of the main receiving portion, one side of the negative sheet placed in the negative sheet receiving direction in the film juxtaposition direction. The part slides down along the main receiving part in a tilted posture and comes into contact with the auxiliary receiving part so that it is easy to stop.The one end side portion of the negative sheets stacked in the stacked state is the position of the auxiliary receiving part. Therefore, the ends are easily aligned.

According to the third characteristic configuration of the negative sheet accumulating apparatus of the present invention, the negative sheet processing means first causes the upper end portion of the negative sheet receiving member to approach the delivery portion and the leading side portion of the negative sheet delivered from the delivery portion. The negative sheet receiving body is placed on the receiving body, and after the placing, the upper end portion of the negative sheet receiving body is separated from the feeding section. When separated, the other portion of the negative sheet placed on the negative sheet receiver is in a suspended state without being placed on the negative sheet receiver.
In this way, the negative sheet is accumulated in the negative sheet receiving body in a bent or curved state. According to the fourth characteristic configuration of the negative sheet stacking device of the present invention, the negative sheet processing means slides and operates the negative sheet receiver in the inclination direction of the main receiving portion so that the upper end portion of the negative sheet receiving member approaches the delivery portion.

The upper end of 0 is sent out from the guide plate 8 so as to be fixedly installed in a state in which the upper end is separated from the lower end of the guide plate 8 serving as the sending-out portion O and is also slightly separated in plan view. When the leading side portion of the negative sheet 3 is placed on the negative sheet tray 10 while hitting the stopper plate 10b at its tip, the other portion of the negative sheet 3, that is, the subsequent portion, is moved to the lower end portion of the guide plate 8. The negative sheet receiving tray 10 may be configured to fall from a vertical gap between the upper end portion of the negative sheet receiving tray 10 and hang down rearward from the upper end portion of the negative sheet receiving tray 10.

(5) The concrete structure of the tray slide mechanism R or the tray swing mechanism Y which constitutes the processing means T is the motor 2
Various changes can be made, such as driving with solenoids or compressed air cylinders instead of 2, 33.

The stopper plate 10b of the negative sheet tray 10
In place of blocking the downward movement of the tip of the negative sheet 3, the user may press the negative sheet 3 by hand to block the movement.

(6) The processing means T may be configured so that the leading side portion of the negative sheet 3 is gripped and transferred to the negative sheet receiving body 10. The point is that the negative sheet receiving member 10 is bent or curved when it is bent. Any means for stacking on the body 10 may be used.

(7) The negative sheet receiver 10 is formed, for example, in the shape of a round bar in a horizontal posture, the middle portion of the negative sheet 3 is placed, and both end portions of the negative sheet 3 are supported in a hanging state. The negative sheet 3 may be formed so as to have an upward protruding curved surface as a negative sheet mounting surface so that the entire negative sheet 3 is mounted.
What is necessary is that it can be supported in a bent or curved state.

(8) Further, the negative sheet 3 delivered from the delivery section O is transferred to the negative sheet receiving body 1 by the operator.
It is also possible to adopt a mode in which they are transferred so that they are stacked on top of each other.

It should be noted that although reference numerals are given in the claims for convenience of comparison with the drawings, the present invention is not limited to the structures of the accompanying drawings by the entry.
