Mobile stage system and method of use
A mobile entertainment stage which when deployed has a stage floor size of approximately twenty feet by sixteen feet, a gross trailer weight of seven-thousand pounds, an overall trailered height of six feet, eight inches, and a standard bumper hitch coupler allowing for a broader range of vehicles for towing. The stage front can be on either side of the stage. The trailered length of the invention is twenty-six feet but includes a break away or fold away hitch to decrease the overall length to approximately twenty-three feet. The length, width and height of the invention allows it to be stored in many garages
1. A mobile stage system comprising:
a mobile stage assembly configured to be transformed from a first, trailer orientation to a second, deployed stage orientation;
a roof comprising a roof tarp having roof tarp ends, said roof connected to a pair of sides configured to be folded down in said first, trailer orientation and wherein said pair of sides are further configured to be rotated upwards to form a roof portion via a pair of gas cylinders when transformed into said second, deployed stage orientation;
a trailer comprising a stage floor and a trailer hitch;
a pair of scissor assemblies each, each one of said pair of scissor assemblies powered by a respective battery;
a plurality of drop-leg jacks connected to said trailer, each of said plurality of drop-leg jacks configured to transform from a first, retracted orientation when said mobile stage assembly is in said first, trailer orientation, to a second, extended orientation when said mobile stage assembly is in said second, deployed stage orientation;
a pair of lock bars, each one of said pair of lock bars configured to interface with a respective one of said pair of scissor assemblies;
each of said pair of lock bars comprising a first slot, a second slot, a third slot, and a fourth slot;
wherein said first slot, said second slot, and said fourth slot are horizontally oriented along each respective one of said pair of lock bars;
wherein said third slot is vertically oriented to join said second slot and said fourth slot, forming a continual opening within each respective one of said pair of lock bars;
each one of said pair of lock bars configured to lock the respective one of said pair of scissor assemblies at a width less than their original width when in said first, trailer orientation via said first slot, said second slot, said third slot, and said fourth slot;
a plurality of corner towers each comprising a removable roller assembly, wherein each one of said plurality of corner towers are configured to roll atop said stage floor until said pair of scissor assemblies are locked out via said pair of lock bars, after which said removable roller assemblies are configured to be removed to secure each respective one of said plurality of corner towers to a respective on of a plurality of tower couplers affixed to said stage floor; and
wherein said pair of lock bars are configured to lock out said pair of scissor assemblies, such that said roof is secured above said stage floor via said pair of scissor assemblies and said plurality of corner towers, thereby forming said second, deployed stage orientation.
