ARTICLE CARRYING-OUT DEVICE OF AUTOMATIC VENDING MACHINE

The invention provides a commodity delivery device of a vending machine, which has a degree of freedom when setting a commodity column, can stably store commodities in a commodity storage passage, canreduce dead zones as much as possible, and enables the effective length of the commodity storage passage to be increased. The two groups of discharge mechanism parts are separated in the length direction of the commodity and are formed by arranging a driving discharge mechanism with a connecting mechanism and a driven discharge mechanism with a connecting mechanism in a complete set; a motor drive unit for driving a connection mechanism for driving the discharge mechanisms of the two sets of discharge mechanism units; and a movable coupling member that couples the adjacent coupling mechanismsof the drive discharge mechanisms and the driven discharge mechanisms of the two sets of discharge mechanism units to each other and couples the adjacent coupling mechanisms of the two sets of drivendischarge mechanisms to ea
