A dispersive supply device includes a dispersion portion configured to disperse articles supplied from above toward a periphery, a plurality of conveying portions radially arrayed around the dispersion portion and configured to further convey the articles supplied from the dispersion portion in radial directions, and a plurality of block bodies arranged between the adjacent conveying portions. The block bodies include a first block body configured to restrict the articles supplied from the dispersion portion from entering a portion between the conveying portions, and a second block body configured to allow the articles supplied from the dispersion portion to enter the portion between the conveying portions. The first block body and the second block body are arranged alternately, or at intervals of the block bodies.
