Media distribution system

Abstract

A media distribution system comprising a housing and at least one media distribution unit configured within the housing. The housing includes a framework and a plurality of exterior panels releasably mounted to the framework. The media distribution unit may include an access door, the access door being movable from an open position to a closed position, and wherein in the closed position, access to a media storage area within the storage unit is restricted. A locking system configured to releasably lock the door in the closed position may also be included. Such locking system may comprise a vending lock configured to release the lock upon receipt of a payment.

1 . A media distribution system comprising:
 (a) a housing comprising:
 (i) a framework; and 
 (ii) a plurality of exterior panels releasably mounted to the framework; and 
   (b) at least one media distribution unit configured within the housing.   
   
   
       2 . The distribution system as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the media distribution unit comprises an access door, the access door being movable from an open position to a closed position, and wherein in the closed position, access to a media storage area within the storage unit is restricted. 
   
   
       3 . The distribution system as claimed in  claim 2 , further comprising a locking system configured to releasably lock the door in the closed position. 
   
   
       4 . The distribution system as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein the locking system comprises a vending lock configured to release the lock upon receipt of a payment. 
   
   
       5 . The distribution system as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising at least one support leg assembly releasably mountable to the framework, wherein the support leg assembly comprises:
 (a) a frame mounting plate configured to mount the assembly to the framework;   (b) a ground mounting plate configured to mount the assembly to a ground surface;   (c) a support shell extending between the frame mounting plate and the ground mounting plate;   (d) wherein the support shell defines an interior region within the leg assembly;   (e) wherein the support shell comprises an access port movable from an open to a closed position, and wherein in the closed position, access to a media storage area within the storage unit is restricted.   
   
   
       6 . The distribution system as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein when the frame mounting plate is mounted to the framework, the access port is retained in the closed position. 
   
   
       7 . The distribution system as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising at least one support leg assembly, wherein the support leg assembly comprises:
 (a) a ground mounting plate configured to mount the assembly to a ground surface;   (b) a support shell defining an interior region within the leg assembly;   (c) wherein the support shell comprises an access port movable from an open to a closed position, and wherein in the closed position, access to the interior region is restricted.   
   
   
       8 . The distribution system as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein when the assembly is mounted to the framework, the access port is retained in the closed position. 
   
   
       9 . The distribution system as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein at least one exterior panel comprises an exterior surface, and wherein the exterior surface comprises a plurality of surface projections. 
   
   
       10 . The distribution system as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein at least two panels possess substantially similar dimensions. 
   
   
       11 . At least one replacement panel for use with the distribution system of  claim 1 .
