Abstract
A portable concession stand for transporting drinks, snacks, sundry items, and the like across a transport surface from one place to another. The portable concession stand includes a box-like container structure constructed of extruded tubing having composite panels mounted thereon for partially enclosing the container structure. Handles are attached to the portable concession stand for guidance and control thereof. Associated with at least one handle is a brake lever which actuates a brake assembly located on the bottom surface of the portable concession stand. When the brake lever is released, the brake assembly moves from a retracted position to an intermediate braking position under the influence of a spring biasing element, which causes the brake assembly to limit movement of the portable concession stand. The brake lever can be moved to a lower-most position for causing the brake assembly to assume an extended locking configuration for preventing further movement of the portable concession stand.
