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.

Abstract: An artificial eye for use with an animatronic figure or a robot. The artificial eye includes an outer shell formed with a wall defining a spherical inner void space. The outer shell includes a transparent outer or forward portion or half joined with a rear portion or half. The artificial eye includes an inner eye or sphere including a hollow, semi-spherical shell, and the inner eye is positioned in the inner void space of the outer shell. The artificial eye includes an electromagnetic drive positioned within the hollow, semi-spherical shell of the inner eye. The electromagnetic drive supports the inner eye a distance from inner surfaces of the outer shell wall, and the drive includes a pivot joint such as a gimbal operable to pivot the inner eye. The inner eye is supported by a central pivot joint and driven by components centrally located and hidden within the inner eye.

Abstract translation: 用于与电动人物图或机器人配合使用的人造眼睛。 人造眼包括形成有限定球形内部空隙空间的壁的外壳。 外壳包括透明的外部或前部或半部与半部或后部连接的部分。 人造眼包括内眼或球体，其包括中空的半球形壳体，并且内眼睛定位在外壳的内部空隙空间中。 人造眼包括位于内眼的中空半球壳内的电磁驱动器。 电磁驱动器使内眼睛从外壳壁的内表面支撑一定距离，并且驱动器包括枢转接头，例如可操作以枢转内眼的万向架。 内眼由中心枢轴接头支撑，并由位于内眼中心并隐藏在内眼内的部件驱动。
