Claim:
A universal serial bus (USB) flash drive rotary device comprising: a plastic frame including a USB flash drive and a USB plug connector; a rotary tube at least partially enclosing said plastic frame for deploying said USB plug connector, said USB flash drive being coupled to said USB plug connector, said rotary tube being turned to retract said USB plug connector, said USB flash drive rotary device for deploying said USB plug connector to couple said USB flash drive to a USB port, wherein a PCB cover and a PCB holder include spiral tabs which cause deployment and retraction of the USB plug connector; and a plurality of springs, one of which is positioned in the PCB cover and one of which is positioned in the PCB holder for deploying and retracting the USB connector so that the springs, while compressed cause locking of the USB plug connector in a deployed position such that the rotary tube is prevented from turning clockwise, and as the rotary tube is turned counter clockwise, the USB plug connector is fully retracted into the end tube turning the rotary tube clockwise thereby redeploying the USB plug connector.
