Abstract
Guiding rails (22) are formed along both the edge portions of a back surface (21) of an optical fiber holder (20), which guide positioning protrusions (12) formed on a mounting surface (110) in an optical fiber processing device (10). The interval between inner-wall surfaces (23) of the guiding rails (22) opposed to each other corresponds to the interval between the positioning protrusions (12). Hollow portions (24) are formed at the back surface (21) of the holder (20), into which the positioning protrusions (12) are inserted. The holder (20) is tightly fixed on the mounting surface (11) of the device (10).
Claims15
An optical fiber holder for clamping an optical fiber, comprising:
- a base body having,
- a top portion for clamping the optical fiber and
- at least one hole portion provided on a bottom portion of the base body and configured to engage with at least one positioning protrusion formed on a mounting surface of an optical fiber processing device.
An optical fiber holder for clamping an optical fiber, comprising:
- a base body including,
- a top portion for clamping the optical fiber and
- at least one hole portion provided on a bottom of the base body and configured to engage with a mounting surface of an optical fiber processing device having positioning protrusions formed at locations corresponding to the hole portions,
- wherein the hole portions have inclined surfaces with respect to the surface of the optical fiber holder, and the hole portions are formed so as to engage with the positioning protrusions formed at an acute angle on the optical fiber holder.
