(57) The present invention is intended to provide an article delivery device capable of
preventing, after an article is delivered, articles remaining in its article storage
from being disturbed in alignment. As the article delivery device is provided with
a contact plate (15) that can come into contact with the highest-placed one of the
articles (A) stored in the article storage (10), delivering operations can be accomplished
reliably without allowing, when the lowest-placed article (A) is delivered, the remaining
articles (A) from being disturbed in alignment or being stuck by the impact of their
drop on the door plates (22). Furthermore, as the contact plate (15) is composed of
a contact portion (15a) coming into contact with the upper face of the article (A)
and an engaging portion (15b) engaging with a drop preventing plate (14), the contact
plate (15) can be moved in the vertical direction in a state of being engaged with
the drop preventing plate (14) to prevent the contact plate (15) from being caused
to come off the upper face of the article (A) by the delivering operations of the
article delivery device.
