Abstract:
A special effects device for providing an energy sword effect. The device includes two long plastic semi-cylinders, and these two blade body members are rolled perpendicular to their length, which creates compact cylinders of material of small volume that can be provided on a pair of spools in a hilt. To extend the blade, a motor provided in the hilt unrolls the blade body members from the spools. Each blade body member passes through a blade forming guideway that nests the semi-cylindrical blade body members together as they leave the hilt. To retract the blade, the process is reversed. The lighting of the blade is achieved with a flexible strip of light sources. The light source strip is attached to a blade end cap and positioned in the center of the two blade body members such that it is pulled up along with the blade body members during their extension.

Claim (Index 9):
The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the blade has a uniform outer diameter along its length when extended out from the hilt body and wherein the blade width is in the range of 0.5 to 2 inches, wherein the blade is moved between a fully retracted state and a fully extended state in less than 1 second, and wherein the blade has a length of at least 24 inches.
