Abstract
A kiosk has a central base enclosing an electric motor drivingly connected to an umbrella-like cover supported over the central base for upward and downward movement. A closed counter encloses the central base with a walk space between the counter and the central base and a door in the counter permitting entry to the walk space. The umbrella-like cover is movable by the motor to an elevated position in which the kiosk can be used and a lower position in which it lies over and partially encloses the counter and prevents opening of the door in the counter. A key switch on the outer surface of the counter permits raising of the umbrella-like cover and lowering of the cover as required by the user.
