Abstract

An optical fiber connector includes a fastener member threadedly connected to a main housing. A resilient member is received in the main housing and the fastener member, and abuts against the fastener member. A rotatable tube seat is sleeved by the resilient member, and is positioned by the main housing and the resilient member. A turning member is sleeved on the rotatable tube seat, and is sleeved by the fastener member. The rotatable tube seat is co-rotatable with the turning member. When the fastener member is loosened from the main housing, the turning member is rotatable relative to the fastener member to drive rotation of the rotatable tube seat relative to the main housing.

Claims7

Dependent claims

An optical fiber connector comprising:

a main housing;
a fastener member that is threadedly connected to a rear end portion of said main housing;
a resilient member that is received in said main housing and said fastener member, and that has a rear end abutting against said fastener member;
a rotatable tube seat that is sleeved by said resilient member and that abuts against a front end of said resilient member, said rotatable tube seat being positioned by said main housing and said resilient member in a front-rear direction;
and
a turning member that is sleeved on said rotatable tube seat, and that is sleeved by said fastener member, said rotatable tube seat being co-rotatable with said turning member;
wherein when said fastener member is loosened from said main housing, said turning member is rotatable relative to said fastener member to drive rotation of said rotatable tube seat relative to said main housing.
