DETAILED EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION In Figure-1 , there is the representative perspective view from a different angle of the cigarette vending machine (A) being remote controlled by the cashier as being positioned at cigarette sales offices, markets and gas stations where cigarette is being sold. Automatic cigarette vending machine (A) being the subject of invention is consisting of main elements of body (10), rack (20), strike mechanism (30) and pushing mechanism (40).

The front part of the body (10) consists of the elements of front cover (1 1 ) that is enabling the positioning of cigarette inside the machine (A) that can be opened only by authorized individuals- and on which there is a glass (1 1 .1 ), side cover (12) covering the section where the monies inserted in the machine (A) accumulate, control panel (13), money entrance (14), chamber (15) enabling cigarette to be taken from the machine (A) by the consumer, and foot (16) enabling the machine (A) to be positioned on the floor. As seen in Figure-2, the machine (A) has more than one racks (20) engaged to each other one under the other and side by side on the feet (16). On each rack (20), there are positioning space (21 ) where the cigarette will be positioned, space (22) and holding element (23).

The strike mechanism (30) of the machine (A) consists of bottom profile (31 ), top profile (32), mobile profile (33), threaded rod (34), skidder (35), vertical movement motor (36), horizontal movement motor (37), strike motor (38) and connector plate (39).

As seen in Figure-3, the strike mechanism (30) has been engaged on the feet (16). Bottom profile (31 ) has been engaged in the rear section of feet (16), skidders (35) have been engaged to the sides of bottom profile (31 ), and threaded rod (34) has been engaged to its middle section. The specified threaded rod (34) is engaged with top profile (32) at the top section of the skidders (35). The mobile profile (33) has been engaged on the skidders (35) through the bearing (35.1 ). The up/down movement of the mobile profile (33) on the skidders (35) through the bearings (35.1 ) is being realized through the nut bearing (34.1 ) engaged with threaded rod (34).

As seen in Figure-8, the vertical movement motor (36) engaged to the bottom section of the threaded rod (34) through cone gears (36.1 ) is enabling the rotation of the threaded rod (34). Control rod (33.1 ) has been engaged to the front section of the movement profile (33). Horizontal movement motor (37), operating as contacting to control rod (33) and having horizontal drive gear (37.1 ) at its end, has been engaged on the connector plate (39). The strike motor (38) bearing strike gear (38.1 ) and strike arm (38.2) has been engaged on the connector plate (39) along with horizontal movement motor (37). The laser reader (39.1 ) reading the amount of cigarettes being available on each rack (20) inside the machine (A) from the space (22) at the back of the rack (20) is engaged to the connector plate (39). As seen in Figures-7 and 9, the pushing mechanism (40) consists of pushing arm (41 ), intermediate arm (42), movement arm (43), rotating element (44) and pin (45). In the operation of the automatic cigarette vending machine (A) being the subject of invention, first the authorized individual opens the front cover (1 1 ) and places the cigarettes on the positioning space (21 ) being available on each rack (20). At the front section of each rack (20), there is rotating element (44) being engaged through pin (45).

When the consumer wants to buy cigarette, s/he is paying to the cashier the money corresponding to the number of cigarettes s/he wants to buy. As the result of the payment, the cashier is enabling the fall of the cigarette -whose payment is received- into the chamber (15) by making an entry on the control panel (13), thus on the machine (A) by controlling from the cash register.

The machine (A), that is perceiving the requested cigarette entered from the control panel (13) which is integrated with the cash register, is moving strike mechanism (30). For the strike mechanism (30) to reach the determined height vertically at the back section of the relevant rack (20), the threaded rod (34) is realizing the rotation to right or left through the cone gears (36.1 ) engaged to the end section of the vertical movement motor (36). Then the threaded rod (34) is enabling the up/down movement of the mobile profile (33) which is engaged on threaded rod (34) through the nut bearing (34.1 ).

The strike mechanism (30), that reaches the rack (20) at the relevant height, reaches behind the relevant rack (20) by moving to right or left horizontally through the horizontal drive gear along with the rotation of the horizontal movement motor (37) that again moves horizontally on the movement profile (33) and that is engaged to connector plate (39). For the rotating element (44) to release the cigarette that it blocks, the strike arm (38.2) is striking the pushing arm (41 ) on the pushing mechanism (40) along with the operation of the strike motor (38) of the strike mechanism (30). The pushing arm (41 ) transfer movement to the movement arm (43) engaged with it through the intermediate arm (42). Then, the movement arm (43) rotates outwards the rotating element (44) -engaged to it at its end section- on the axis of pin (45), and the fall of the cigarette inside the chamber (15) is being ensured. This operation is continuing as much as the number of cigarettes to be sold.

The amount of cigarettes being available in the machine (A) are being reported as being measured by the laser reader (39.1 ) reaching the space (22) at the back section of each rack (20). By this way, instant reporting of the cigarette amount is able to be ensured at the sales office.

As an alternative construct, the cigarette vending machine (A) being the subject of invention is also able to be used as being positioned at crowded areas such as roads, main streets, subway stations and stations being used by the people in their daily lives. In such a use, along with the money inserted to the money entrance (14) on its body (10), it is realizing the automatic sales of the cigarette being available on the racks (20) by the entry of code and number of requested cigarettes on the control panel (13).

When the consumer wants to buy cigarette from the machine (A), s/he is inserting the money from the money entrance (14), and s/he is entering the code and number of requested cigarette from the control panel (13). The machine (A), that is perceiving the requested cigarette entered from the control panel (13), is moving strike mechanism (30). For the strike mechanism (30) to reach the determined height vertically at the back section of the relevant rack (20), the threaded rod (34) is realizing the rotation to right or left through the cone gears (36.1 ) engaged to the end section of the vertical movement motor (36). Then the threaded rod (34) is enabling the up/down movement of the mobile profile (33) which is engaged on threaded rod (34) through the nut bearing (34.1 ). The strike mechanism (30), that reaches the rack (20) at the relevant height, reaches behind the relevant rack (20) by moving to right or left horizontally through the horizontal drive gear along with the rotation of the horizontal movement motor (37) that again moves horizontally on the movement profile (33) and that is engaged to connector plate (39). For the rotating element (44) to release the cigarette that it blocks, the strike arm (38.2) is striking the pushing arm (41 ) on the pushing mechanism (40) along with the operation of the strike motor (38) of the strike mechanism (30). The pushing arm (41 ) transfer movement to the movement arm (43) engaged with it through the intermediate arm (42). Then, the movement arm (43) rotates outwards the rotating element (44) -engaged to it at its end section- on the axis of pin (45), and the fall of the cigarette inside the chamber (15) is being ensured. This operation is continuing as much as the number of cigarettes to be sold. The amount of cigarettes being available in the machine (A) are being reported as being measured by the laser reader (39.1 ) reaching the space (22) at the back section of each rack (20).
