         9 . The apparatus of  claim 8 , further comprising a hinge part which is connected to the pressure transmitting part, provided around the door part of the pressure transmitting part and guides a movement direction of the pressure transmitting part due to elastic deformation. 
     
     
         10 . The apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein the pressure transmitting part has a convex section protruding toward an internal space of the receiving part. 
     
     
         11 . The apparatus of  claim 3 , further comprising a hinge part which fixes the pressure transmitting part and the receiving part, wherein the pressure transmitting part is rotatably installed about the hinge part. 
     
     
         12 . The apparatus of  claim 11 , wherein the fixing part is configured such that an end of the pressure transmitting part positioned adjacent to the door part is bent in a predetermined direction and is in mesh with an end of the door part. 
     
     
         13 . The apparatus of  claim 12 , wherein the pressure transmitting part rotates about the hinge part, and the end of the pressure transmitting part and the end of the door part are separated from each other to allow the door part to be opened to the outside. 
     
     
         14 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the material received and discharged is a substantially flat, flexible and continuously received material. 
     
     
         15 . An apparatus of receiving and discharging a material, the apparatus comprising:
 a container which receives the material, and contains the material until a quantity of the material contained in the container reaches a predetermined amount or an internal pressure of the container reaches a predetermined level,   wherein the container comprises a fixing part and a door part contacting the fixing part,   wherein if the quantity of the material contained in the container reaches the predetermined amount or the internal pressure of the container reaches the predetermined level, the fixing part and the door part are configured to be separated from each other to discharge a portion of the material.
