To suppress erroneous detection of a detection part in a closed position of a delivery device body.SOLUTION: A delivery device includes: a delivery device body in which a downstream end part in a delivery direction for delivering a material to be delivered is mounted on a mounting section, and which can open/close between a closed position in which an upstream end part is positioned on the upper side with respect to the downstream end part and an open position in which the upstream end part is positioned on the lateral side with respect to the downstream end part; a loading section which is provided at the delivery device body, and on which the material to be delivered is loaded in the open position; a detection section having a detection member hanging to the downstream end part of the loading section in the open position, moving to the delivery direction downstream side by the detection member being pushed at the downstream end part of the material to be delivered loaded on the loading section, and detecting the loading of the material to be delivered onto the loading section; and a restriction section for restricting the movement of the detection member to the delivery direction downstream side in the closed position.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4 【課題】送出装置本体の閉位置において、検知部の誤検知が抑制されるようにする。【解決手段】被送出材を送り出す送出方向の下流端部が取付部に取り付けられ、上流端部が前記下流端部に対する上方側に位置する閉位置と、前記上流端部が前記下流端部に対する側方側に位置する開位置と、に開閉可能とされた送出装置本体と、前記送出装置本体に設けられ、前記開位置において前記被送出材が積載される積載部と、前記開位置において前記積載部の下流端部に垂れ下がる検知部材を有し、前記積載部に積載された被送出材の下流端部で該検知部材が押されることで送出方向下流側へ移動して、前記積載部への前記被送出材の積載を検知する検知部と、前記閉位置において、前記検知部材の送出方向下流側への移動を制限する制限部と、を備える。【選択図】図４
