To provide a chopstick supply device in an automatic chopstick packaging machine which can stably supply chopsticks without being clogged in a guide member.
The chopstick supply device in the automatic chopstick packaging machine causes a chopstick 3 which narrows in height from a front end toward a rear end to drop from the inside of a chopstick reservoir 6 into a guide member 9, guides a plurality of chopsticks 3 by the guide member 9 to deliver them into a packaging sheet 1 folded in a U-shape and feeds the chopsticks 3 stacked in the guide member sequentially from lower ones by a feed-out means 12 along a traveling direction of the sheet 1. The device has a chopstick cast-in means 10 in a range between an upper part of the guide member 9 and an exit of the chopstick reservoir 6, wherein the means 10 causes the chopsticks 3 dropping from the reservoir 6 to temporarily stop and then drop again, so as to regulate the number of chopsticks 3 stacking on a lower part of the guide member 9.
