An apparatus for pushing in a predetermined quantity solid pulverized and/or lumpy objects forming a deposited layer to a discharge section includes: a plurality of pusher members disposed in parallel with each other; and a driving device to which the plurality of pusher members are connected so as to push the pulverized and/or lumpy objects to the discharge section as the plurality of pusher members are reciprocated by the driving device in a longitudinal direction of each of the plurality of pusher members, the driving device having a first axially supporting portion and a second axially supporting portion which are arranged at two positions in the longitudinal direction such that the driving device is angularly displaceable about an axis of the first axially supporting portion and an axis of the second axially supporting portion, the axis of the first axially supporting portion and the axis of the second axially supporting portion being in a perpendicular relationship to each other when projected on a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal direction.
