Claim:
A mobile transform structure having a tractor-trailer structural mode which is reversibly transformable into a spray-booth structural mode for receiving and armor spray-coating a surface in a subject wheeled vehicle at the location of that vehicle comprising trailer structure including an elongate, openable/closeable trailer body having (a) base with opposite lateral sides and a pair of opposite, lateral, trailer-body side panel assemblies, including side portions and top portions, which are reversibly switchable by swinging in a clamshell manner between (a) a closed, ground-traveling, tractor-towable condition which defines the mentioned tractor-trailer structural mode for the transform structure, and (b) an open, stabilized, ground-anchored condition which defines the mentioned spray-booth structural mode for the transform structure, said side and top panels, in their open conditions, including portions cooperating with said base to form therewith co-extensive, generally co-planar, lateral extensions thereof collectively with said base to form a wheeled-vehicle supporting deck with lateral, personnel walk-around regions, selectively stowable-deployable canopy structure carried on said trailer-body in a stowed condition when the trailer-body is in its said closed condition, and deployable with the trailer-body in its said open condition to form a canopied enclosure in cooperation with the trailer body, with said canopied enclosure being designed to receive therein a subject wheeled vehicle having a surface which is to be armor spray-coated, and a self-contained, armor spray-coating system also carried on said trailer body, operable, when such a wheeled vehicle is received in said enclosure, to effect armor spray-coating of a selected surface in that vehicle.
