Abstract

Cette invention concerne un kiosque (1), conçu plus particulièrement pour la présentation et à la vente de journaux, magazines et articles divers sous emballage, qui comprend un pilier dont l'un des côtés est occupé par une zone de rangement (2), l'autre par une zone d'affichage publicitaire (3). La zone de rangement (2), qui est destinée à la présentation et à la vente, peut se fermer au moyen de volets (4, 5) mobiles, montés dans ce cas précis sur des charnières longitudinales (6, 7). Les surfaces intérieures des volets (4, 5) comportent des étagères ou des supports pour articles : lorsque ils sont ouverts, les volets (4, 5) tiennent également lieu de présentoirs. Avec son profil convexe dans le plan, la zone d'affichage (3) peut recevoir des supports publicitaires incurvés, notamment prismatiques. La zone de présentation/vente (2) présente également un profil convexe permettant de maximiser la surface de présentation/vente pour une surface publicitaire minimum, mais hautement efficace. La zone de vente/présentation (2) présente généralement une forme semi-circulaire en plan alors que la zone publicitaire (3) présente un rayon de courbure nettement plus grand que celui de la zone (2). Cet agencement offre un espace d'utilisation maximum pour un encombrement au sol minimum. Ce kiosque est destiné tout spécialement aux zones piétonnières.
