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 10):
A special effects device, comprising:\n a hilt body; a drive assembly; an end cap; a pair of blade body members each attached to the end cap; and a plurality of light sources, wherein the drive assembly operates in a first operating state to provide motorized extension of the blade body members outward from an opening in the hilt body and in a second operating state to provide motorized retraction of the blade body members into the hilt body through the opening in the hilt body, and wherein the plurality of light sources is positioned between the pair of blade body members and are powered to output light when the drive assembly is operated in the first operating state.
