PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppress defects due to jumping of an article after the drop of an article, by suppressing flexure of a chute using a simple structure, and securing stable quality at low cost. SOLUTION: The vending machine 101 includes the chute 108, which is arranged below an article storage chamber, with the inclination and guides the article 126, dropping from the article storage chamber to an article outlet 107. A fixing section 119 is arranged on a front end surface of the chute 108, and the fixing section 119 is fixed on the vending machine body. As a slit 122 is formed around the fixing section on the front end surface of the chute 108, an impact load on the chute 108, after the article drops, is dispersed by the slit 122; and consequently, the defects caused by the jumping of the article can be suppressed, while reducing the cost and improving the assemblability by simplifying the structure.
