Abstract
Provided is an optical fiber ferrule polishing jig capable of fixing an optical fiber ferrule and releasing the optical fiber ferrule. An optical fiber ferrule polishing jig 10A has; a base 12a having insertion holes 20 into which optical fiber ferrules 51 can be detachably inserted; pivoting rods 13 which are adjacent to the insertion holes 20 of the base 12a and rotatable around lower end portions 36; fixing pieces 14a installed in installation recesses 19a formed in the base 12a to fix the optical fiber ferrules 51 with respect to the insertion holes 20 by being moved as the rods are pivoted; and a plurality of coil springs 15a installed in the installation recesses 19a to bias the fixing pieces 14a so as to release fixing of the optical fiber ferrules 51 with respect to the insertion holes 20.
Claims10
A placing member configured to be installed on a base of an optical fiber ferrule polishing jig used for polishing optical fiber ferrules, the placing member comprises:
- a raised portion located on the base;
- pivoting rods installed so as to be capable of being rotated;
- a plurality of slide locks;
- and
- a plurality of coil springs, each of the plurality of coil springs is disposed around a respective pivoting rod of the pivoting rods, and is configured to bias a respective slide lock of the plurality of slide locks toward a bottom end of each respective pivoting rod, wherein
- the raised portion comprises:
- first support portions, each of the first support portions respectively supporting each of the pivoting rods in a state of being rotated inward in a radial direction of the placing member;
- pivot-openings, each of the pivot-openings respectively communicating with each of the first support portions;
- second support portions, each of the second support portions respectively communicating with each of the pivot-openings for respectively supporting each of the pivoting rods in a state of being rotated outward in the radial direction of the placing member;
- and
- a plurality of lock holes formed in the raised portion, wherein
- each of the first support portions includes an upper opening which is open toward an upper side of the raised portion,
- each of the second support portions includes a side opening which is open outward in the radial direction,
- each of the plurality of slide locks is disposed around each respective pivoting rod and is slidable along an axial direction of each respective pivoting rod,
- each of the plurality of slide locks has a lower end portion configured to enter a respective lock hole of the plurality of lock holes,
- in the state of being rotated inward in the radial direction, each of the pivoting rods is located in each upper opening and is supported by an inner wall of the respective upper opening,
- in the state of being rotated outward in the radial direction, each of the pivoting rods is located in each side opening and supported by an inner wall of the respective side opening, and
- each of the pivoting rods is configured to be rotated between each respective upper opening and side opening.
