  • Patent number: 6206748
    Abstract: A simulated weapon is disclosed which uses a hologram, an electric lamp and various other optical components to produce holographic images resembling the rays or beams of ray guns or space guns as portrayed in motion pictures, television programs, video games, and comic books in that the rays extend into and occupy space in front of the device itself but are not tangible. Sound effects accompany the projection of holographic images. The device also provides ancillary visual effects prior to the display of holographic images. Sound effects accompany the ancillary visual effects. The toy is intended for floor use and can be mounted on toy tank treads or other conveyance means. The rays are visible to those sitting, kneeling, or standing in front of the device. The preferred embodiment of the device is powered by an electric storage battery.
