Problems solved by technology

However, while the portability problem is partially solved by portable splicing tools, there remains another problem associated with producing fusion splices in situ; that is the problem of preparing fiber end faces so that a satisfactory fusion splice can be formed between them

Embodiment Construction

[0037] In Figures 2 and 3, a fiber splitting mechanism 5 is most clearly shown; it comprises a scoring blade in the form of a scoring wheel 7, which is movable substantially in the plane of the scoring wheel, making it accessible and scoring Scribe the fiber 9 held by the device. As shown, the optical fiber 9 has a clamp block 11 clamped thereon. The clamping block 11 comprises a main part 13, and two auxiliary parts 15 connected to the main part 13 (by e.g. magnetic attraction, but other connection mechanisms are possible) so as to clamp the optical fiber 9 between the main part and the auxiliary parts. between.

[0038]The clamping block 11 (and the optical fiber 9 clamped thereon) are inserted into holding means which take the form of receiving grooves 17 in the engaging device 1 so that the ends of the optical fibers 9 are accommodated and clamped in the device holes 19 . When clamp block 11 and optical fiber 9 are so arranged (as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 ), a portion 21 o...

Abstract

A mechanism for cleaving optical fibres, comprising fibre cleaving means and gripping members arranged to grip an optical fibre and to apply a pulling force to put the fibre under tension whilst the fibre is cleaved, wherein the gripping member(s) are arranged to eject a cleaved-off part of the fibre F into a recpetacle once the fibre has been cleaved, and / or the fibre F is bent during cleaving by means of a rotatable double anvil widely separated from the gripping members.

Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application of an application with an international filing date of January 10, 2006, an international application number of PCT / GB2006 / 000090, and a Chinese application number of 200680003799.3. technical field [0002] The present invention relates to an apparatus for splicing optical fibers, and more particularly to such apparatus in the form of a hand-held portable tool. The invention also relates to a mechanism for cleaving optical fibers, in particular for producing end faces of optical fibers suitable for splicing by splicing equipment. Background technique [0003] There are currently two known basic methods of splicing optical fibers together, mechanical splicing and fusion splicing. Mechanical splicing has the advantage of not requiring the use of live power tools, and is therefore suitable for in-situ use in optical communication networks depending on the location of the network where the splicing is required, such as in outd...
