OPTICAL FIBRE TRAY ASSEMBLY

摘要

The present invention relates to an optical fibre tray assembly for organizing a plurality of optical fibre elements. The optical fibre tray assembly (1) comprises a lower tray (100) having a lower support plate (102) projected on a lower front surface side (104) thereof by a plurality of lower wall portions (106) forming a lower organizing area (108) for organizing at least one optical fibre element (111), and provided with a lower hinge means (118). The optical fibre tray assembly further comprises an upper tray (200) which has an upper support plate which provides an upper rear surface side (204) for covering partially the lower front surface side (104) of the lower tray (100) and which provides an upper front surface side (206) projected by a plurality of upper wall portions (208) forming an upper organizing area (210) for organizing at least one further optical fibre element (112), wherein the upper support plate (202) is projected laterally by upper hinge means (212). Said lower and upper hinge means (118; 212) cooperate with each other for pivotably connecting both trays (100, 200) with each other. The upper hinge means (212) provide a connection path (214) for guiding the at least one further optical fibre element (112) received by one of the lower tray (100) and the upper tray (200) toward the other tray (100; 200) thereof. Thereby, an improved optical fibre tray assembly may be provided, which allows an improved handling and organizing of the optical fibre elements.
