CONSTITUTION: The automatic vending machine is provided with an article sending-out surface, an article sending-out arm 29 composed of a leaf spring material fitted to a rotary shaft 39, a guide part 41 which guides the article sending-out arm 29 in an article sending-out direction, and a push-out part 29a for the tip of the article sending-out arm 29, and the push-out part 29a sends out the article 22 by rotating the article sending-out arm 29 and the depth size of the article sending-out device 32 is shortened. Further, the push-out part 29a after sending out the article 22 projects from the article sending-out surface and stands by while closing an article sending-out opening 28 and even if the automatic vending machine is installed slanting forward and given intense vibration, articles in an article storage frame never fall.
