Optical fiber junction device notably for telecommunications

摘要

The device includes a tubular connector traversed by a bore designed to house two optical fiber terminations to be connected, said terminations being composed of three spacing rods tangential to one another and to the fiber and a base provided with a stop shoulder. Countersunk holes are formed at the periphery of the connector so as to leave only thin walls or webs; these are deformed towards the axis of said connector so as to exert an elastic pressure on the terminations of the fibers, which are guided axially and positioned angularly with respect to one another by pins extending inside the bore and engaged in the grooves formed by two adjacent spacing rods of said terminations. The device is aplied to optical transmissions and notably in telecommunications.
