Abstract

The shop such as a newspaper kiosk, may be installed on the pavements of towns for selling periodicals and newspapers. The kiosk is so arranged that it permits an excellent display of the products in a region sheltered from wind and rain. The kiosk comprises a cell of trapezoidal shape the small base of which forms the rear wall (1) and the large base of which forms the openable front wall (4). This cell comprises a supporting structure formed by at least four main posts (6 to 11) located at the four corners of the trapezium and interconnected by cross-members and by a roof framework. These posts act as supports for mounting product display box structures (5-7-8). The kiosk is mainly used for the sale of newspapers, magazines, periodical or books.
