PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an article supporting tool in which a plurality of supported articles can be handled efficiently and reliably, and the supported articles supported on support boards held by a support board holding body can be checked efficiently.SOLUTION: An article supporting tool comprises four support boards P and a support board holding body T capable of supporting the support boards. The support board P can support a plurality of supported articles C upward between end part positioning parts Pb and intermediate positioning parts Pc, and has a grip part Pd projecting upward. The support board holding body T has, on both inner side surfaces Tc in a longer direction, four pairs of vertical projections Td that are arranged in parallel with each other across a horizontal distance in a shorter direction width of the support board P. The support board holding body T can hold the support boards P between the respective pairs of the vertical projections Td while the support boards P are arranged horizontally and the support boards P are removable upward by gripping the grip parts Pd.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 6
