A splicing device for connecting light waveguides together by utilizing a splicing element having a centering groove for guiding the ends of the light waveguides therein characterized by a vertically moving support for the splicing element, a holding device at each side of the support being mounted for rotation on a horizontal axle and having a clamp for holding the end of the light waveguide at an acute angle to the base of the groove of the splicing element, each of the holding devices being mounted for movement in a horizontal plane so that the distance between the axles can be varied and an arrangement for controlling the movement of the axles of the holding device as a function of the angle of inclination of each device. The splicing device operates by the splicing element being vertically raised relative to the holding device so that the ends of the light waveguides are introduced into the centering groove and moved towards one another to be brought into mutual contact and after securing the ends together, the holding devices are rotated to coaxially align the cladding or jackets of the spliced waveguides for connecting by a bridge element. |
