COATING REMOVING DEVICE FOR COATED OPTICAL FIBER AND FUSION SPLICING DEVICE FOR COATED OPTICAL FIBER

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a coating removing device for coated optical fibers capable of improving the workability of coating removing work. SOLUTION: The coating removing device for the coated optical fibers of a handy type usable by disconnecting the device from an external power source at the time of use has a holding and heating mechanism which holds the front end of the coated optical fiber F and softens the front end by heating the same with a heat source section 100, a pair of scoring blades 11 which scores the coating part of the coated optical fiber F and a coating removing mechanism which holds the base end side of the coated optical fiber F and removes the coating part F1 on the front end side from the part scored by the scoring blades 11 by sliding the base end side in the longitudinal direction of the coated optical fiber F. A heat insulating member 101 having large specific heat is arranged near the heat source section 100.
