Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a lightsaber-type accessory.
  • lightsaber which includes a luminous blade and a handle.
  • a lightsaber wields like a conventional saber, but emits light and/or sound during combat.

  • a first problem associated with these lightsaber-type accessories is the large size of the tubular blade, which makes it difficult to transport the lightsaber-type accessories. It is therefore preferable to be able to mount and dismount the tubular blade on the handle.
  • the tubular blade is fixed using one or more screws which block the tubular blade on the handle. This fixing means requires the use of tools for assembly and disassembly.
  • the assembly and disassembly of the tubular blade on the handle is complex.
  • the holding in position of the tubular blade on the handle depends on the quality of the fastening system and, sometimes, may be insufficient in the event of an impact in particular.
