PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an accumulating device capable of avoiding generation of scratches at reversely bent portions when reversely bent articles including the reversely bent portions at one edge are accumulated and placed, and eliminating need for article pallets. SOLUTION: An accumulating conveyor 13 which is constituted out of plurality rows of chain conveyors 17a-j on which the reversely bent articles P are accumulated and placed is provided adjacent to an article delivery table for a bending machine. An article support device 20 having the plurality rows of parallel forks 16 which can elevate in a gap between the plurality rows of the chain conveyors is provided, and an accumulating traverser which conveys the reversely bent articles P on the article delivery table onto the plurality rows of forks, and in which the reversely bent portions 103 is placed so as to be overhung from the top end of the fork, and the elevating direction of the fork is made from a front upper portion to an oblique lower portion in a delivery direction at the article placement position on the accumulating conveyor so as to be elevated freely, thus accumulating and placing the reversely bent portions of the reversely bent articles at the article placement position toward the delivery direction of the accumulating conveyor.
