First Claim
1. A collapsible flying device, comprising:
- a housing, comprising;
a first housing section; and
a second housing section forming an enclosure with the first housing section; and
a motorized assembly comprising;
a drive motor arrangement that includes at least one drive motor;
a drive shaft driven by the drive motor arrangement, the drive shaft matingly receiving the first housing section and being coupled to the second housing section, wherein operation of the drive motor arrangement drives the drive shaft to move the first housing section from a closed position adjacent the second housing section to an open position spaced from the second housing section;
a rotor hub rotatingly driven by the drive motor arrangement; and
at least two rotor blades coupled to the rotor hub and positioned within the enclosure in a collapsed position when the first housing section is in the closed position, the at least two rotor blades extending beyond the enclosure in an expanded position when the first housing section is in the open position, the at least two rotor blades being rotated by the drive motor arrangement to provide lift to the collapsible flying device.

Abstract
A collapsible flying device is provided having a housing including first and second housing sections forming an enclosure, and a motorized assembly that includes a drive motor and a drive shaft driven by the drive motor. The drive shaft matingly receives the first housing section and is coupled to the second housing section, wherein operation of the drive motor drives the drive shaft to move the first housing section from a closed position adjacent the second housing section to an open position spaced from the second housing section. A rotor hub is rotatingly driven by the drive motor. At least two rotor blades are coupled thereto and positioned within the enclosure in a collapsed position when the first housing section is in the closed position, and extend beyond the enclosure in an expanded position when the first housing section is in the open position.
