Abstract

A simulated laser light sword is linked to a computer for display of sword movements. The sword includes a handle having accelerometers, a joystick, a light source and microswitch controls which sense and control movements of the handle. A translucent blade engages the handle and is illuminated by the light source. A gyroscope can provide a positional reference. Power is supplied internally or by connection to the computer. The computer interacts with the sword components to display movements on the screen. Light intensities can vary with the activity of the sword.

    • DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
  • Referring to FIGS. [0019] 1-3, a simulated laser light sword according to the present invention is shown generally at 10.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 show top views of the disassembled and assembled [0020] sword 10 while FIG. 3 shows a side view of the sword 10.
  • The length of the sword from end to end is approximately 24 to 30 inches. It is understood that this is by way of example only and other lengths can be employed depending upon the size of the sword necessary for the individuals involved in the sword play. [0021]
  • A first part of the [0022] sword 10 is the handle portion 12, and a second part is a threaded light extension 14 simulating a sword blade.
  • The [0023] handle portion 12 houses two known types of dual axis accelerometers (such as shown in FIG. 4), with the accelerometers sensing the X and Y axis velocity and directional movements of the sword for display on computer screens. Such accelerometers are available from Analog Devices, Inc.
  • One accelerometer is mounted horizontally at a flat end and the other along the shaft at a right angle to the first one. [0024]
  • A [0025] microswitch 16 is mounted to the handle and includes a plurality of buttons, preferably three, for controlling the program software functions. A joystick 18 is mounted to the handle portion 12 for operation. The joystick 18 is preferably a known type of eight position (8 PO) thumb joystick which is immediately accessible when the handle 12 is being gripped. In other words, proper gripping of the handle 12 finds the user's thumb laying over the top of the joystick 18 which is adapted for movement in all directions.
  • The [0026] joystick 18 is used to control program, menu-selection and also to move opposing characters on the computer display screen.
  • The combination of the [0027] microswitch 16 and the joystick 18 coaching with the accelerometers which can include a tilt sensor, permits the user to control and sense all of the movements of the sword in all directions as it is displayed on the computer screen.
  • A [0028] suitable lamp 20, such as a halogen lamp, is mounted in the handle proximate to where the handle joins the sword extension 14.
  • The sword extension is constructed as a threaded hollow translucent foam core light extender. It is manufactured from a piece of reflective foam having a threaded [0029] end 22 which is received in a complementary threaded portion 24 of the handle 12. The sword extension 14 is therefore threaded into the handle 12 to be illuminated by the halogen lamp 20 automatically when the sword is actuated by the software. It is preferred that, upon actuation, the sword extension is illuminated a particular color, such as blue, the intensity of the color changing or even going to a different color to indicate swords striking or contacting other objects.
  • Referring to FIGS. [0030] 4-6, the simulated laser light sword is shown generally at 100 and includes all the features operable in the same fashion as that in FIGS. 1-3 unless stated otherwise.
  • In this embodiment, one of the [0031] accelerometers 126 is shown wired internally to the microswitch 116 and a controller circuit board 128 connected to the computer software for display of the sword movements on the screen.
  • A [0032] gyroscope 130 is mounted at a base of the handle 112 which is actuated when the lighted sword is illuminated as well. The gyroscope provides a positional reference and will continue rotating as long as the laser light sword 100 is being actuated by the software for the program. The gyroscope 130 is connected to a miniature motor 131 for rotation of the gyroscope 130.
  • Both embodiments are provided with a [0033] belt clip 32,132 which is mounted to a base of the handle 12,112 at a cushion able bumper 34,134.
  • [0034] Hand guards 36,136 are mounted to the end of handles 12,112 where the handles are removably mounted to the sword extenders 14,114.
  • The sword may contain an internal source of power, such as batteries, or may be powered through the [0035] connection 38, 138 to the PC.
