Faseroptische Anordnung mit beweglicher Schutzblende

摘要

An adapter assembly (10) is provided for mating an optical fiber (18) along an optic axis (64) with an associated fiber optic transmission device (14). The adapter assembly includes a body (36) having an end face (73) for mating with the associated fiber optic transmission device, the end face of the body traversing the optic axis. A movable protective shield (70) is adapted for attachment to the body to cover the end face thereof and prevent ingress of contamination thereinto and to protect operator's eyes. The shield includes a diverting surface (80) in alignment with the optic axis (64) to prevent light energy transmitted by the optical fiber (18) from being reflected back toward the fiber. $$
