Provided is an accumulator which can surely discharge a collected fluid material in a first-in first-out manner without causing stagnation of the fluid material. The accumulator includes a housing having a temporarily accumulating space configured to change an inner volume thereof in an axial direction. The housing includes a supply port and a discharge port formed at positions spaced apart from each other in the axial direction and communicating with the temporarily accumulating space. The housing also includes a flow passage for uniformly supplying a fluid material into the temporarily accumulating space through the supply port.
