Abstract
There is provided an optical fiber cutting device that cuts an optical fiber, the device including: a main body; a lid body; a first connecting portion that rotatably connects the lid body to the main body; a moving portion including a blade portion for scratching the optical fiber and attached to the main body to be movable between a first position and a second position; and a second connecting portion that connects the lid body and the moving portion, in which the blade portion is configured to scratch the optical fiber while the moving portion moves from the first position to the second position, and as the lid body rotates in a direction away from the main body, the moving portion moves from the second position to the first position via the second connecting portion.
Claims4
An optical fiber cutting device that cuts an optical fiber, the device comprising:
- a main body;
- a lid body;
- a first connecting portion that rotatably connects the lid body to the main body;
- a moving portion including a blade portion for scratching the optical fiber and attached to the main body to be movable between a first position and a second position;
- and
- a second connecting portion including two link arms that rotatably connect the lid body and the moving portion, wherein
- the blade portion is configured to scratch the optical fiber while the moving portion moves from the first position to the second position, and
- as the lid body rotates in a direction away from the main body, the moving portion moves from the second position to the first position via the second connecting portion.
An optical fiber cutting device that cuts an optical fiber, the device comprising:
- a main body;
- a lid body;
- a first connecting portion that rotatably connects the lid body to the main body;
- a moving portion including a blade portion for scratching the optical fiber and attached to the main body to be movable between a first position and a second position;
- a second connecting portion that connects the lid body and the moving portion;
- a second spring biasing the moving portion to move from the first position to the second position;
- and
- a lock mechanism that locks the second spring in a compressed state, wherein
- the blade portion is configured to scratch the optical fiber while the moving portion moves from the first position to the second position,
- as the lid body rotates in a direction away from the main body, the moving portion moves from the second position to the first position via the second connecting portion, wherein
- the lid body includes a releasing portion that acts on the lock mechanism to release the lock when the lid body is closed, and
- when the moving portion moves from the second position to the first position via the second connecting portion, the moving portion compresses the second spring, and the lock mechanism locks the second spring in a compressed state.
