Beach kiosk

Abstract

A kiosk structure of hollow rotary moulded plastic counter modules having a body of circular segmental configuration with top horizontal surface, horizontal bottom surface, vertical front and back walls and opposing ends of the body having a vertical bore through the top surfaces. A number of vertical support posts vertically disposed within the bores are fixed to the module beneath the top surface. A variety of differently shaped arrays can be constructed of counter modules with a lintel spanning between a post of each adjacent counter module of the array, the posts and lintels can support a tubular frame roof with fabric extending across the frame providing shelter. The kiosk structure can be easily assembled and disassembled for temporary events or for storage in off season.

I claim:

 a plurality of appendages extending from the bottom surface.  
 
     
     
         5 . A kiosk structure according to  claim 1  comprising: 
 at least two like counter modules disposed in an array; and  
 a lintel spanning between a post of each adjacent module of the array.  
 
     
     
         6 . A kiosk structure according to  claim 1  wherein each counter module comprises a hollow rotary moulded plastic shell.  
     
     
         7 . A kiosk structure according to  claim 6  wherein the shell includes a horizontal shelf below the top horizontal surface.  
     
     
         8 . A kiosk structure according to  claim 7  wherein the shell includes a closed front wall and a shelf access opening in a back wall.  
     
     
         9 . A kiosk structure according to  claim 8  wherein each shelf access opening includes a cabinet door mounted to the back wall with a hinge.

         11 . A kiosk structure according to  claim 9  wherein each cabinet door is hollow and of rotary moulded plastic.  
     
     
         12 . A kiosk structure according to  claim 5  including a roof structure mounted to a top portion of the posts.  
     
     
         13 . A kiosk structure according to  claim 12  wherein the roof structure comprises a tubular frame.  
     
     
         14 . A kiosk structure according to  claim 13  wherein the roof structure includes a fabric extending across the frame and secured thereto.  
     
     
         15 . A kiosk structure according to  claim 1  wherein the body configuration of the counter module comprises a substantially circular segmental top surface with vertical front and back walls.  
     
     
         16 . A kiosk structure according to  claim 4  wherein the appendages are height adjustable.  
     
     
         17 . A kiosk structure according to  claim 4  wherein the appendages include wheels mounted to a bottom end thereof.  
     
     
         18 . A kiosk structure according to  claim 4  wherein the appendages include base anchor plates.  
     
     
         19 . A kiosk structure according to  claim 4  wherein the counter module includes a hinged door mounted to a lateral end thereof.  
     
     
         20 . A kiosk structure according to  claim 19  wherein the hinged door is mounted to at least on of the posts above the counter module and at least one of the appendages below the counter module.
