Abstract
An accommodating device includes an accommodating portion including a bottom portion and in which a member to be accommodated is accommodated, a stacking member disposed in the accommodating portion such that, while one end side of the stacking member serves as a fulcrum, the other end side thereof is able to move upward, and on which the member to be accommodated is stacked, a lifting/lowering mechanism that lifts the other end side and causes the stacking member to drop under its own weight by releasing a lifting force, and a buffer member that acts as a buffer between the stacking member and the bottom portion of the accommodating portion while being constantly in contact with a bottom surface of the stacking member and a top surface of the bottom portion of the accommodating portion within a movable range in which the lifting/lowering mechanism causes the stacking member to move.
