PURPOSE:To eliminate a danger of a polishing plate performing a distorted rotation and to bring the polishing plate and the connected end face of an optical fiber into contact with each other at a certain angle at all times, by composing that the polishing plate performs a rotation motion by the combination of the horizontal motion of the polishing plate and the horizontal motion of a slide plate in the direction orthogonal to that of the polishing plate. CONSTITUTION:A polishing plate 14 is made to be slidable by being guide by a slide plate 7 and also the slide plate 7 is composed so as to perform a horizontal motion in the direction orthogonal to the moving direction of the polishing plate 14. The slide plate is therefore slided by the energy component divided in the motional direction orthogonal to the moving direction of the polishing plate 14 of the energy transmitted by a driving transmission shaft 22. The polishing plate 14 and slide plate 17 perform respective horizontal motions in the mutually orthogonal directions by the energy transmitted to the polishing plate 14 and slide plate 7 from a rotating body 19, but the polishing plate 14 performs an apparent rotation motion with both motions being combined. |
