Abstract
A splicer for light waveguides is disclosed, including a receptacle including a first body of a predetermined length, having first recesses cut lengthwise through the center of the contact surface, and a second body of length the same as that of the first body, having second recesses cut lengthwise through the center of the surface corresponding to the first recesses cut through the first body; expanding means for expanding space separating the first and second bodies in order to easily insert light waveguides into the recesses; and bending means surrounding the receptacle's outer surface that securely hold first and second bodies together and provide the necessary clamping force.

A splicer for light waveguides comprising:
- a receptacle including a first body of a predetermined length, having first recesses cut lengthwise through the center of the contact surface, and a second body of length the same as that of the first body, having second recesses cut lengthwise through the center of the surface corresponding to the first recesses cut through the first body;
- expanding means for expanding space separating the first and second bodies in order to easily insert light waveguides into the recesses;
- and
- bending means surrounding the receptacle's outer surface that securely hold first and second bodies together and provide the necessary clamping force.
A splicer for light waveguides comprising:
- a receptacle with a first body of a predetermined length, having recesses cut lengthwise through middle of the contact surface, and an opening right over the middle of the recesses and a second body with the same length as the first body, having the corresponding recesses cut in its contact surface to match with the first body, and a V-shaped groove between the recesses which is coaxial;
- a gripper inserted into the opening, and having the corresponding V-shaped groove that will mate with the V-shaped groove in the second body;
- pressure means pressing the gripper into the opening;
- elastic means for pushing the gripper out of the receptacle;
- bending means for keeping the respective channels of the first and second bodies mated with each other;
- and
- expanding means for separating the first body from the second body so as to facilitate the insertion of the light waveguides.
A splicer for light waveguides comprising:
- a receptacle including a second body, formed of a base plate of rectangular section, having recesses with a V-shaped groove cut lengthwise therebetween, and a first body having a tuning member contacting the second body, having an opening positioned perpendicular to the contact surface of the tuning member and the second body, and clamping adjacent to both sides of the tuning member, each having the same section as the tuning member's, and recesses formed on its surface contacting the second body;
- a gripper that is inserted into the opening, and having another V-shaped groove corresponding to the first recesses;
- pressure means pressing the gripper into the opening;
- elastic means for pushing the gripper out of the receptacle;
- bending means having an opening that communicates with the through opening, and used to keep the respective recesses of the first and second bodies matching with each other;
- and
- expanding means for expanding the space between the first body and the second body, so as to facilitate the insertion of the light waveguides.
