PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To smoothly put out balls by preventing an easy occurrence of ball clogging. SOLUTION: This ball putout device is so constituted that no base 4 is disposed in the back of a ball entry hole 8 in a retraction-side part 9B of a storage part 9 but a vertical surface 7 is disposed so that, when a ball P1 is upward pushed out from a push-out side part 9A of the storage part 9 by a putout body 12 to push up a ball P2 as indicated by an arrow X5 and, when the ball P2 pushes an adjoining ball P3 from the front toward the back as indicated by an arrow X6, the ball P3 is received by the vertical face 7. As stated above, the ball pushed upward from the push-out side part 9A of the storage part 9 by the putout body 12 is received by the vertical face 7 and introduced in the retraction-side part 9B of the storage part 9 from the vertical face, and a range being affected by the agitation by the putout body 12 is narrowed so as to prevent the easy occurrence of the ball clogging in the storage part 9, reduce the load of a putout motor 13 and allow a putout body 12 to smoothly put out balls.
