PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an automatic vending machine capable of preventing a clogging and always smoothly ejecting tubular commodities even when selling tubular commodities having a polygonal cross section such as PET bottles. SOLUTION: A charging rail is moved to a position corresponding to the PET bottle having the polygonal cross section. When the PET bottle is charged and accommodated in a column through the charging rail, a movable rail 26 actuates to be inclined downward obliquely toward an ejector unit 24 interlockingly with the charging rail. When the PET bottle is introduced into an ejector path 27 from the column, the inclined movable rail 26 regulates the PET bottle to be in such a regular attitude that the side surface thereof faces in the horizontal direction and vertical direction. When the PET bottle drops on a latch 29, the PET bottle is held by a horizontal part 29a of the latch 29 and the regular attitude is maintained.
