Abstract
A multi-functional kiosk embodying the concepts of the present invention utilizes a polygonal base member and a plurality of frame members. First interlocking means releasably secure the frame members to the polygonal base member, and second interlocking means releasably secure the frame members to each other. A hollow, central cavity is defined by the connection of the frame members to the polygonal base as well as to each other. A refreshment dispenser is capable of being supported within the hollow, central cavity of the kiosk, and a trash receptacle is also capable of being supported within the hollow, central cavity. An aperture penetrates at least one of the frame members to provide access to the refreshment dispenser and the trash receptacle. Panel portions are provided on the exterior of selected frame members to present advertising displays, and a roof member is releasably secured to the connected frame members.
