Fiber guidance device towards mechanical splice protection.

Abstract

-In Figure 3, the parallelepiped (1) has a small channel (2) that allows the splice protection to be held and positioned by sliding the fiber into the recessed guide section (3), which allows its insertion into the splice protection. The reservoir (4) allows the splice protection to be stored.

Description

Title of the invention: Guiding device for fiber towards mechanical splice protection.

[0001] -It is a parallelepiped (1) having at one of its ends and on its upper part, a hollowed guide part (3), ending in an orifice (6), allowing the fiber to be guided towards the axis of the mechanical splice protection.

[0002] -At its other end, and still on the upper part, a small channel (2) dug and terminated by a stop (7), allows the mechanical splice protection to be maintained in the axis of the orifice (6) of the dug guide part (3).

[0003] -A variant has a reservoir part (4) for mechanical splice protection, hollowed out in the upper part of the parallelepiped (1), two oblique parts positioned along the small channel (2) and on each side of the latter, allowing the mechanical splice protections to descend and be housed therein. A stop (7) located between the hollowed guide part (3) and the reservoir (4), allows the splice protections to be held in the latter and in the axis of the channel (2). In the stop (7) and in the continuity of the orifice (6) of the hollowed guide part (3), a slot (5) cuts the stop (7) in its center, it allows the fiber to come out after insertion into the mechanical splice protection.

[0004] -The hollowed-out guide part (3) allows the fiber to be guided towards the axis of the small channel (2), where the mechanical splice protection is maintained, the fiber can be inserted at any angle, it will be guided towards the axis of the mechanical splice protection thanks to the hollowed-out guide part (3).

[0005] -The hollowed-out guide part (3) avoids manual adjustment, because it guides the fiber.

[0006] -The small channel (2) allows the mechanical splice protection to be maintained in the axis of the orifice (6) of the hollowed-out guide part (3).

[0007] -A stop (7) pierced in its axis with an orifice (6), located at the end of the small channel (2) on one side and located at the end of the hollowed guide part (3) on its other side, allows the insertion of the fiber into the mechanical splice protection.

[0008] -A variant is equipped with a reservoir (4) capable of containing a dozen mechanical splice protections, the oblique parts allow the mechanical splice protections to fall into the small holding channel (2) located at the bottom of the reservoir (4). The stop (7) of the reservoir (4) allows the mechanical splice protections to be held in the axis of the small channel (2).

[0009] -In a variant, the hollowed-out guide part is conical.

[0010] -In a variant, the hollowed-out guide part is pyramidal in shape.

[0011] -In [Fig. 1][Fig. 1], we can see the small channel (2), the hollowed-out guide part (3), as well as the stop (7).

[0012] - [Fig.2][Fig.2] represents a zoom view of the stop part (7) pierced by an orifice (6), located between the hollowed guide part (3) and the small channel (2).

[0013] - [Fig.3] [Fig.3] and 4 [Fig.4] represent with different angles, the variant with the reservoir (4) and the stop (7) pierced by an orifice (6) and cut in its axis by a slot (5).

[0014] - [Fig.5] [Fig.5] represents a zoomed-in view of the slot (5) and the orifice (6) which terminates the hollowed-out guide part (3).

[0015] - [Fig.6][Fig.6] represents a zoom view of the slot (5) and the orifice (6) dug in the stop (7) which terminates the small channel (2) located at the bottom of the tank (4).

[0016] -The axis of the small channel (2) is coaxial with that of the hollowed guide part (3).
