Abstract
A food concession vehicle may include a food processing area, two LED display screens and an adjustment mechanism that can move the LED display screens between a first position where the two screens are coplanar and too high to pass under a bridge and a second position where the two screens are able to pass under a bridge. When in the first position, the two screens may be able to provide a single continuous image.

A portable food concession trailer comprising:
- a trailer frame;
- at least two ground engaging wheels rotatably mounted to the trailer frame and selectively operable to carry the portable food concession trailer along an associated ground surface;
- a food processing area supported to the trailer frame and including:
- 1) at least one sink including at least one basin and at least one water supply implement;
- and
- 2) at least two distinct food processing components;
- a first LED display screen:
- 1) supported to the trailer frame;
- and
- 2) having a planar surface area of at least 9 square feet;
- a second LED display screen:
- 1) supported to the trailer frame;
- and
- 2) having a planar surface area of at least 9 square feet;
- a lighting control system:
- 1) supported to the trailer frame;
- and
- 2) operatively connected to the first and second LED display screens;
- and
- an adjustment mechanism:
- 1) supported to the trailer frame;
- and
- 2) operatively connected to at least one of the first and second LED display screens;
- wherein:
- 1) the adjustment mechanism is selectively operable to move the first LED display screen with respect to the second LED display screen between a first position and a second position;
- 2) when in the first position:
- (a) the first LED display screen is coplanar with the second LED display screen;
- (b) a maximum height H1 of the first and second LED display screens above the associated ground surface is at least 13.5 feet;
- (c) an outer edge of the first LED display screen is separated from an outer edge of the second LED display screen by a distance D1 and distance D1 is 1.0 inch or less;
- and
- (d) the lighting control system is selectively operable to create a single continuous image simultaneously using the first and second LED display screens;
- and
- 3) when in the second position:
- (a) the first LED display screen is not coplanar with the second LED display screen;
- and
- (b) a maximum height H2 of the first and second LED display screens above the associated ground surface is less than 13.5 feet so that the portable food concession trailer can pass under bridges on public roads.
