PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an automatic dispenser capable of suppressing a lateral shake of a transition wiring part of a cable to prevent the cable from being caught.SOLUTION: The automatic dispenser has: a commodity storage rack 4 that is disposed to be drawn out to the outside through a front opening of a body cabinet 1 and is provided with an electric component such as a commodity issuance mechanism for carrying out commodities stored in a commodity storage column; and a cable 10 that electrically connects the electric component installed in the commodity storage rack 4 to the body cabinet 1 and has a U-shaped transition wiring part 10a hanging between the upper part of the rear end of the commodity storage rack 4 and the upper part of the rear wall of the body cabinet 1. In the automatic dispenser, a cable guide member 20 that supports the transition wiring part 10a and is attached to the body cabinet 1 to be freely swingable around a hinge mechanism is disposed such that the center of gravity of the cable guide member is dislocated from the position of a supporting point in a longitudinal direction when seen from a front face; as a result, rattling of a hinge mechanism is absorbed, shaking of the cable guide member 20 is restricted, and a lateral shake of the transition wiring part 10a is suppressed.
