This invention, a special light saber blade coating and a process to make the same, relates to a replica sword as an authentic-looking device as seen in “Star Wars” movies, out-takes and re-enactments. In particular, the sword blade device (and the method to produce) provide a unique and realistic replica of the light saber and a method to produce this device.

None.
As far as known, there are no special light saber blade coating or processes to make the same or the like. It is believed that this device and process are unique in its design and technologies.
The phenomenal impact of Star Wars and spin-off movies continues to grow. In its acceptance in society, there are many games, costumes, genre remakes and other outgrowths from the original series and the continuing updates and expansions for the Star Wars theme. As a result, the desire for realistic items or replicas such as the light sabre have created a commercial opportunity to provide realistic and appropriate genre replica item—such as light sabers and the like.
Prior art has failed to address a realistic look to the light sabers available to the public as a commercial product. The improvement and problem solved as to providing realistic light sabers with various blade finishes including roughness, multi-color, and three dimensional coatings is the primary focus of this product. A simple, specific manufacturing process of economically and repeatability producing the product with quality and durability is the focus of the process.
A novelty search was performed. All the prior art failed to address and solve the problem of the unique coating and process presented by this inventor Albright. The art included:
This invention is a special light saber blade coating and a process to make the same for various applications. Taught here are the ways of the device and process to manufacture this special light saber.
The preferred embodiment of the device 30 is a special light saber blade coating comprised of: (a) Elite Crete Systems Reflector Enhancer (coloring pigment); (b) Elite Crete Systems E100-PT1 Crystal Clear epoxy (part a and b); (c) a manufactured poly carbonate light saber blade complete with light diffusion film; (d) a manufactured light saber hilt complete with light; and (e) glow in the dark pigment powder. The preferred embodiment of the process/method 60 is comprised of a special light saber blade coating process comprised of the following steps:
The newly invented special light saber blade coating and a process to make the same for various applications may be manufactured at low volumes by very simple means and in high volume production by more complex and controlled systems.

The details mentioned here are exemplary and not limiting. Other specific components and manners specific to describing the special light saber blade coating 30 and a process/method 60 may be added as a person having ordinary skill in the field of the art of coating and epoxy processes their uses well appreciates.
The special light saber blade coating 30 and a process/method to make 60 the same has been described in the above embodiment. The manner of how the process to fabricate the light saber is described below. One notes well that the description above and the process and method 60 described here must be taken together to fully illustrate the concept of the special light saber blade coating 30 and a process/method 60 to make the same.

While certain novel features of this invention have been shown and described and are pointed out in the annexed claims, it is not intended to be limited to the details above, since it will be understood that various omissions, modifications, substitutions and changes in the forms and details of the device illustrated and in its operation can be made by those skilled in the art without departing in any way from the spirit of the present invention. Without further analysis, the foregoing will so fully reveal the gist of the present invention that others can, by applying current knowledge, readily adapt it for various applications without omitting features that, from the standpoint of prior art, fairly constitute essential characteristics of the generic or specific aspects of this invention.
Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which these inventions belong. Although any methods and materials similar or equivalent to those described herein can also be used in the practice or testing of the present inventions, the preferred methods and materials are now described above in the foregoing paragraphs.
Other embodiments of the invention are possible. Although the description above contains much specificity, these should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention, but as merely providing illustrations of some of the presently preferred embodiments of this invention. It is also contemplated that various combinations or sub-combinations of the specific features and aspects of the embodiments may be made and still fall within the scope of the inventions. It should be understood that various features and aspects of the disclosed embodiments can be combined with or substituted for one another in order to form varying modes of the disclosed inventions. Thus, it is intended that the scope of at least some of the present inventions herein disclosed should not be limited by the particular disclosed embodiments described above.
The terms recited in the claims should be given their ordinary and customary meaning as determined by reference to relevant entries (e.g., definition of “plane” as a carpenter's tool would not be relevant to the use of the term “plane” when used to refer to an airplane, etc.) in dictionaries (e.g., widely used general reference dictionaries and/or relevant technical dictionaries), commonly understood meanings by those in the art, etc., with the understanding that the broadest meaning imparted by any one or combination of these sources should be given to the claim terms (e.g., two or more relevant dictionary entries should be combined to provide the broadest meaning of the combination of entries, etc.) subject only to the following exceptions: (a) if a term is used herein in a manner more expansive than its ordinary and customary meaning, the term should be given its ordinary and customary meaning plus the additional expansive meaning, or (b) if a term has been explicitly defined to have a different meaning by reciting the term followed by the phrase “as used herein shall mean” or similar language (e.g., “herein this term means,” “as defined herein,” “for the purposes of this disclosure [the term] shall mean,” etc.). References to specific examples, use of “i.e.,” use of the word “invention,” etc., are not meant to invoke exception (b) or otherwise restrict the scope of the recited claim terms. Other than situations where exception (b) applies, nothing contained herein should be considered a disclaimer or disavowal of claim scope. Accordingly, the subject matter recited in the claims is not coextensive with and should not be interpreted to be coextensive with any particular embodiment, feature, or combination of features shown herein. This is true even if only a single embodiment of the particular feature or combination of features is illustrated and described herein. Thus, the appended claims should be read to be given their broadest interpretation in view of the prior art and the ordinary meaning of the claim terms.
Unless otherwise indicated, all numbers or expressions, such as those expressing dimensions, physical characteristics, etc. used in the specification (other than the claims) are understood as modified in all instances by the term “approximately.” At the very least, and not as an attempt to limit the application of the doctrine of equivalents to the claims, each numerical parameter recited in the specification or claims which is modified by the term “approximately” should at least be construed in light of the number of recited significant digits and by applying ordinary rounding techniques.
With this description it is to be understood that the special light saber blade coating 30 and a process/method 60 to make the coated saber are not to be limited to only the disclosed embodiment of product and process. The features and options of special light saber blade coating 30 and a process/method 60 are intended to cover various modifications and equivalent arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the description.
