A light toy that is divided into hilt and blade may be used as a science fiction light saber, a signaling device, or illumination marker is disclosed. A light source sends a beam of light into a non-opaque tube along its axis. The elongated tube also known as the blade extends out in at least two sections by remote with an electric motor and can retract back into the hilt of the hollow structure of the device to be unseen. The light emitting device emanates a glow through the walls of the tube making the device highly visible. The motor that actuates the blade is hidden within hilt of the device. In addition, a sound board may be added to transmit sound while in use or play.

A method of providing a telescopic assembly includes providing a power mechanism to rotate a threaded spindle which is coupled to telescopic segments. Rotating the threaded spindle causes the telescopic segments to extend out of a handle to an extended position. A safety feature is provided such that, if the telescopic segments in the extended position are pressed by a poking force against a person, the poking force causes the telescopic segments to retract in a direction towards the handle thereby preventing injury to the person, and the power mechanism and the threaded spindle are not compromised or destroyed by retraction of the telescopic segments due to the poking force.

A computerized method for operation of laser tag melee weapons is disclosed. The laser tag melee weapons contain infrared emitters, infrared receivers, microprocessors, accelerometers, and gyroscopes. The operation of the infrared emitter is based upon a pattern of signals received by the microprocessor from the accelerometer and gyroscope. The method is also directed toward altering game play information (such as user health, weapon status, power ups, or other game information) based on a pattern of signals received by the microprocessor from the accelerometer and gyroscope. When a user makes a specific movement pattern of the laser tag melee weapon, the microprocessors recognize the specific movement based on patterns of signals received. The microprocessors also compare signals received from the accelerometer and gyroscope to hit signals received from infrared receivers to determine if a user should be hit in the game.

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.

The present invention relates to a connector system for use in toy weaponry. The system comprises at least a first connector and a second connector of substantially identical configuration; the first and the second connectors being adapted to connect with a respective one of at least a first weapon and a second weapon. Each of the connectors comprises a first end adapted to connect with a handle portion of the respective weapon; and a second end having at least one engaging means; wherein the at least one engaging means of the first connector is configured to be releasably engageable with the at least one engaging means of the second connector, such that the first and the second weapons are connectable to form substantially a single weapon assembly operable at one common handle.

The invention relates to a simulated fragmentation grenade that can be rearmed for reuse, comprising a fixed part attached to springs acting on plates that move between an inner position and an outer position, an axial mobile part passing through the fixed part, the axial mobile part being pushed upwards by a spring, and being axially extended in the upper portion by a rod that is rotatably actuated by a mechanism, the rod being attached to a control casing arranged on the outside such that it can move axially and rotationally on a central extension of the body of the grenade, the axial mobile part having retention means for retaining the plates in the inner position, for releasing that retention according to the movement of the axial mobile part.

The present disclosure discloses an assembled visual machete, including a first machete body and a second machete body; the first machete body and the second machete body are integrally assembled through a detachable bridging part; light emitting diode (LED) light strips are arranged on the first machete body and the second machete body; a control board and a battery are arranged in the bridging part; and the battery and the LED light strips are electrically connected to the control board. Therefore, when it is necessary to package and transport the entire assembled visual machete, the first machete body and the second machete body at both ends of the bridging part can be directly removed, and the bridging part, the first machete body and the second machete body in a detached state are placed in a package.

Interactive entertainment devices including a toy magic wand with integrated electronics for, among other things, detecting wand motion and responding accordingly, such as illuminating one or more LEDs, displaying images on one or more LCD displays, playing sound effects or character speech, emitting infrared (IR) signals via one or more IR emitters, or some combination thereof. An exemplary device may include a fairy house or wizard tower playset with integrated electronics for receiving one or more received IR signals and responding or reacting accordingly. For example, depending on the nature of the received IR signals, the electronics may illuminate one or more LEDs, display images on one or more LCD displays, play sound effects or character speech, emit IR signals via one or more IR emitters, or some combination thereof.
