PURPOSE:To enable desirable fusing splicing by sending a covered part in the inclined direction to the face of a V-groove at the time of sending the covered part forward at least. CONSTITUTION:At the time of sending a covered part 14 forward, the covered part 14 is sent in the inclined direction to the face of a V-groove 22, that is, the direction of Z. That is, when the covered part 14 is inclined by an angle of alpha to the Z direction, the direction of sending the covered part 14 is inclined by alpha as indicated by an arrow mark 38, for instance. The covered part 14 moves forward in its own axial direction, and the position of a parting point P is not changed. Accordingly, when an optical fiber 12 is moved forward by L, the distance B between the rear end of a clamp 24 and the parting point P becomes equal to the distance A before the advance. The generation of such a problem as to levitate the clamp 24 is there prevented, and desirable fusing splicing can be performed. |
