PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an article carrying-out device of an automatic vending machine which can securely carry articles out one by one without causing the articles to roll nor stick and can efficiently store evan articles in indeterminate shapes. SOLUTION: When an article B in an article column 20 is carried out to an article bucket 40, respective articles B in the article column 20 are supported in the front-rear direction by respective article support plates 34, so even if the foremost article B is rolled or disordered in attitude when carried out, a following article B is never fallen by the carried-out article B. An article support plate 34 is interposed between the articles B, so the articles would not be stuck together. At that time, both the front-rear directional surfaces of the article support plate 34 come into contact with the articles only on parts other than recessed parts 34b, so the contact area between the article support plate 34 and article B becomes small and the article B never sticks on the article support plate 34.
