Abstract
An item dispensing device includes a plurality of stacked item ejection units, a cylindrical shared delivery pipe penetrating throughout the item ejection units, and an item dispensing unit connected to a lower end of the shared delivery pipe and provided with an item dispensing slot. A plurality of item ejection ports are opened in side wall portions of the shared delivery pipe. The item ejection unit includes a circular rotor and an energizing mechanism. In the rotor, item holders opened radially inward are disposed intermittently along the circumferential direction. The energizing mechanism energizes the item held in any one of the plurality of item holders radially inward and pushes out the item through an opening of the item holder substantially horizontally to the item ejection port when the opening is aligned with the item ejection port with rotation of the rotor.
