When the worker replenishes the barreled water 124 from the uppermost deck member 107 into the delivery trunk 101, the barreled water 124 rolls down the inclined bearing slope. If the lower end of the layer member 107 is a vertical surface (e.g., the sidewall of the housing 104 of the vending machine), the barreled water 124 at the upper end is squeezed toward the barreled water 124 at the lower end, which easily causes the barreled water 124 to be stacked at the lower end, and thus the barreled water 124 cannot smoothly fall on the layer member 107 at the lower layer. The first guide surface is inclined towards the bearing inclined surface, and a guide channel is formed between the first guide surface and the bearing inclined surface, so that the barreled water 124 can roll towards the lower layer plate member 107 along the guide channel in sequence, and the barreled water 124 can smoothly fall on the lower layer plate member 107.
