Patent ID: 8882441

Claim:
A portable, selectively deployable power supply and storage arrangement, comprising: a substantially rigid frame, a perforated floor securable to the substantially rigid frame and including a longitudinally extending guide member secured to an upper side of the perforated floor, a mast assembly having a first end pivotally connected to a tractor element slidable along the guide member, and a second end opposite the first end, a wind turbine receivable at the second end of the mast assembly, a support pivotally connected to and extending between both the substantially rigid frame and a portion of the mast assembly so that, upon displacement of the tractor element along the guide member, the support produces movement of the mast assembly between retracted and deployed positions, storage elements for storing energy provided by output current produced during operation of the wind turbine, and multiple outrigger arrangements to stabilize the deployable power supply and storage arrangement when the power supply and storage arrangement is in use, wherein the substantially rigid frame, the floor, the mast assembly, the wind turbine, and the support define a single unit and are collectively receivable as that unit in a shipping container to facilitate transportation and relocation of the power supply and storage arrangement, and wherein perforations in the perforated floor provide for access by fastening elements to the outrigger arrangements to secure the outrigger arrangements against the upper side of the perforated floor during said transportation and relocation.
