Abstract:
A decoy has outwardly projecting wings rotated by a motor secured by modularized mounting system shrouded within a lifelike plastic shell. The mounting mechanism comprises a resilient internal plate comprising integral bosses for connection to the shell. One boss receives a motor mount and a battery clamp respectively securing the internal battery and the motor that dynamically drives the wings. Shoulders defined in the boss and the motor mount are engaged by downwardly projecting lips projecting from the battery clamp and the motor mount, and the motor is retained within a special rectangular orifice. Axle ends projecting from the motor quick-connect with the wings. A special coupling with angled slots quick connects or quick-disconnects the wings and allows folding. A spring on each axle yieldably maintains the wings in place. The wings rotate about their longitudinal axis.
