Abstract
A film pack is comprised of a case body and plural film units stacked inside the case body. An exposure opening is formed in the front wall of the film pack, and an ejection slit for advancing the film unit out of the film pack is formed in the upper wall. In the ejection slit, front and rear slit edges are confronted with each other. Engaging ridges are provided on the middle of the front slit edge. When external force is applied to the front wall, the engaging ridges press an engaged portion, which is provided in the middle of the rear slit edge. Then, the engaged portion is depressed and engaged with the engaging ridges. Thereby, it is possible to prevent further deformation of the front wall, which causes rupture of a processing fluid pod in the film unit.
