OPEN BUT SECURE TRAVEL CENTER KIOSK

摘要

An open but secure kiosk (10) for a full service travel center in an indoor commercial public area may be substantially rectangular with a small square area removed from each corner and has vertical corner beams, an upper wall portion (20) defined by at least two parallel double upper cross-beams (22, 24) running along the upper perimeter of the kiosk, and a continuous solid block lower wall portion (30) along the lower perimeter of the kiosk including customer counters (32) that form the two longer sides (11, 15) of the kiosk and interior side counters (33) that form the two shorter sides (13, 17) of the kiosk to enclose the working area (60). The shorter walls are transparent glass or plastic. The kiosk further includes fixed seats (36) outside the customer counters, video monitors (91) at the corners, signs at the sides' tops, movable grates (70) above the counters, and an optional transparent cover for the ceiling (80).
