Modular Drone Container System

Abstract

A modular drone container system for providing a safe area for multiple drones to fly within a contained area, for both indoor and outdoor use. The system comprises a column assembly, panel assembly, and connector assembly that interact to form the container. The panel assembly further comprises panels with tensioned nets for limiting damage to drones while also allowing for rapid construction and disassembly. The column assembly has collapsible and extended states and is designed to be stable enough to be constructed by even just one person quickly and efficiently.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A system for drone containment comprising:
 a column assembly, wherein said column comprises one or more columns that removably interact with a connector assembly, said connector assembly, comprising upper hook connector bars and lower connector bars for removable affixation to assembly pieces on said columns;   a panel assembly, comprising a plurality of top panels and a plurality of side panels, that interact with one or more upper hook connectors.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1  wherein said column assembly comprises a plurality of corner columns. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 2  wherein said corner column comprises a corner top angle assembly attached above a corner column top support and a corner column bottom assembly attached to a corner column bottom support. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 3  wherein said corner top angle assembly receives two of said hook connector bars to form a corner of the containment system. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 4  wherein said column corner bottom angle assembly receives two of said connector bars for stabilizing said corner of said containment system. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 5  wherein said corner column top support is capable of extending from within the corner column bottom support. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 6  wherein said corner column top support comprises a column top support pin hole that receives a column pin for locking the corner column in an extended position. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 7  wherein said column assembly comprises a plurality of side columns. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 8  wherein said side column comprises a side top angle assembly attached above a side column top support and a side column bottom assembly attached to a side column bottom support. 
     
     
         10 . the system of  claim 9  wherein said side top angle assembly receives three of said hook connector bars to form a side of the containment system. 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 10  wherein said side bottom angle assembly receives two of said connector bars for stabilizing said side of said containment system. 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 11  wherein said side column top support is capable of extending from within the side column bottom support. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 12  wherein said side column top support comprises a side top support pin hole that receives a column pin for locking the side column in an extended position. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 13  wherein said column assembly comprises at least one center column. 
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 14  wherein said center column comprises a center top angle assembly attached above a center column top support positioned above a column bottom support. 
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 15  wherein said center top angle assembly receives four of said hook connector bars. 
     
     
         17 . The system of  claim 16  wherein said center column top support is capable of extending from within the center column bottom support. 
     
     
         18 . The system of  claim 17  wherein said center column top support comprises a center top support pin hole that receives a column pin for locking the center column in an extended position. 
     
     
         19 . The system of claim wherein said panel assembly comprises a top panel, wherein said top panel comprises a top panel frame, and said panel assembly additionally comprises a side panel, said side panel additionally comprising a side panel frame. 
     
     
         20 . The system of  claim 19  wherein said side panel frame surrounds a side panel tensioned net and said top panel frame surrounds a top panel tensioned net.
