Abstract
A manufacturing tool for an optical connector includes: a tool body that includes a concave part; a handle that includes an operating part and a contact part; and a connecting shaft that rotatably connects the handle to the tool body. The handle is rotatable between: a stand-by position, and a push-into position in which a larger portion of the contact part is disposed inside the concave part than in the stand-by position. A direction in which the operating part moves is different from a direction in which the contact part moves.
Claims4
A manufacturing tool for an optical connector, comprising:
- a tool body that comprises a concave part;
- a handle that comprises:
- an operating part;
- and a contact part, wherein the handle is rotatable between:
- a stand-by position, and a push-into position in which a larger portion of the contact part is disposed inside the concave part than in the stand-by position;
- a connecting shaft that rotatably connects the handle to the tool body;
- a ratchet that restricts movement of the handle toward the stand-by position when the handle is disposed between the stand-by position and the push-into position;
- and
- a first spring that biases the handle toward the stand-by position, wherein
- a direction in which the operating part moves is different from a direction in which the contact part moves, and
- the ratchet comprises:
- a first claw fixed to the handle;
- a second claw rotatable about a ratchet shaft on the tool body;
- and
- a second spring that biases the second claw.

- a direction in which the operating part moves is different from a direction in which the contact part moves,
- the tool body further comprises:
- a connector set part in which the concave part is formed;
- a base part to which the operating part approaches when the handle moves from the stand-by position to the push-into position;
- and
- a pair of support parts disposed between the connector set part and the base part and that supports the connecting shaft.
