Description

P29440NL03/JFL
A holder for holding multiple optical fibre connections.
A holder for holding at least two optical fibre connections parallel to a first direction; the holder being provided with at least two clamps, each clamp being provided with at least two clamp members positioned opposite each other for clamping a fibre connection in 5 between.
Patent publication EP0150568 (see fig. 1 and 2) discloses a packaged optical fibre splice being held in a retainer 10 formed by two pairs of cantilever members 13 having inwardly facing ribs at their top edges. The members of a pair are spaced so that after pushing a packaged splice 14 between the ribs 17, deforming the members slightly, the 10 packaged splice is freely positioned between the cantilever members which are substantially stress free. The splice is retained by the ribs 17.
A disadvantage of EP0150468 may be the size of the retainer 10. The size of the retainer is determined by the width of the packaged splice 14, the width of the two cantilever members 13 and space needed for the deformation of the two cantilever members 13, 15 making the design bulky especially if multiple retainers are necessary.
It is an object of the invention to provide an improved holder for holding optical fibre connections or at least an alternative holder.
20 According to an embodiment of the invention there is provided a holder for holding at least two optical fibre connections parallel to a first direction, the holder being provided with at least two clamps, each clamp being provided with at least two clamp members positioned opposite each other for clamping a fibre connection in between, wherein at least two clamps for clamping two neighbouring fibre connections comprise clamp members being positioned 25 in use in between the two neighbouring fibre connections on a line in the first direction.
By having two clamp members of two clamps for clamping neighbouring fibre connections on a line parallel to the optical fibre connections in between the two neighbouring fibre connections it needs to clamp, more optical fibre connections can be clamped in the holder in less space in a direction perpendicular to the first direction.
30 Clamping more fibre connections in less space makes it possible to use less material for the holder. The clamp members of each clamp are being positioned opposite each other for clamping a fibre connection in between the clamp members so as to provide a strong and -2- stable clamp to the optical fibre connection without bringing stress in the optical fibre connection itself. The clamp member of two clamps for clamping neighbouring fibre connection do not exert any force on each other because both clamp members do not touch each other. The clamp force exerted by the clamp members of the clamp on the optical fibre 5 connection can be optimized because the force is only determined by the clamp and not by any other neighbouring clamps. Variations in the size of the fibre connections are not added up because the clamp members of neighbouring clamp members do not touch each other and therefore variations in size are only influencing one clamp. Stress in the holder caused by variations in the size of the fibre connections are limited because the clamp members of 10 neighbouring clamps do not touch each other and stress in different clamps is not added up.
Forces to bring the fibre connection in or out of the clamp are less because the flexibility of the clamp is not influenced by neighbouring clamps. Since there is no space in between two neighbouring clamps it is impossible for the engineer to put the fibre connection incorrectly in between two neighbouring clamps.
15 According to a further embodiment of the invention the clamp members of the clamps have a centre which is shifted a small distance in a direction perpendicular to the line towards the optical fibre connection it needs to clamp so as to provide space for deformation of the clamp member when the optical fibre connection is clamped. If there is no space for the above mentioned deformation there is a risk that the holder deforms when the optical 20 fibre connection is clamped in the holder. The small distance between the center of the clamp member and the line may be 1-50% of the thickness of the clamp member in a direction perpendicular to the straight line or even 10-25 % of the thickness of the clamp member.
According to a further embodiment of the invention each fibre connection is clamped 25 by at least two clamps. Clamping with two clamps may be more stable and there may be less tension in the connection (weld) between the optical fibres. The clamp members may be provided with a cam. The clamps may be provided on a base and a hole may be provided in the base between the two clamp members for allowing the connected fibre to be pushed out of the clamp members via the hole with a pin. Risks of damaging the fibre connection are 30 minimized in this way.
The holder may be provided with a cassette for protecting the fibre connections. The holder may be further provided with a cassette carrier for holding at least one cassette. The cassette may be rotatable connected to the cassette carrier so that the cassette can be rotated so as to give a better view on the connected fibres during installation. The cassette 35 carrier may be provided with a mount for mounting the cassette carrier on a rail. The rail may be a DIN and/or top hat rail.

According to a further embodiment of the invention a holding system is provided comprising the holder and a stop mountable on a rail. The holding system may be provided with a securing means for securing the cassette in a rotated position when mounted on a rail. The securing means comprises a strip provided with or at least meant for the use of 5 Velcro and can be connected to the stop to secure the cassette in a tilted position with respect to the rail. The stop may be provided with an inclined surface for keeping the cassette in an inclined position. The cassette may be provided with a half open ring for receiving the strip. The open ring makes it easier to put the strip through the ring.
According to a further embodiment of the invention there is provided a holder for 10 holding at least one optical fibre connection, the holder being provided with at least one clamp comprising at least two clamp members for clamping a fibre connection in between, wherein the clamp members are provided on a base and a hole is provided in the base between the at least two clamp members for allowing the fibre connection to be pushed out of the clamp via the hole. Risks of damaging the fibre connection when the fibre connection 15 is pressed out of the clamp is minimized in this way because there is easy assess to the fibre connection via the hole. Another advantage is that there is no bending moment on the fibre connection when the connection is pressed out of the clamp because the hole is in the middle of the clamp.
According to yet a further embodiment of the invention there is provided a cassette 20 carrier for carrying a cassette provided with a holder for holding optical fibre connections, wherein the carrier is provided with a mount constructed and arranged for mounting the carrier on a rail. The invention also relates to a holding system comprising the carrier and a stop provided with a mount constructed and arranged for mounting on a rail.
According to a further embodiment of the invention there is provided a cassette 25 comprising a holder for holding optical fibre connections wherein the cassette is provided with a half open ring for connecting securing means to the cassette. A half open ring makes it easier to secure a strip in the ring through the opening in the ring.

Figure 3a is a view on a holder 1 according to the invention provided with a cassette 3. The cassette 3 is provided with channels formed by walls 5 and protrusions 7 for storing a surplus of optical fibre 2 after an optical fibre is connected and the connection 4 is clamped in the holder 1. The channels may be of different lengths to accommodate different 20 surpluses of optical fibre 2. The cassette 3 may be mounted on a cassette carrier with mounting extensions 8. The mounting extensions 8 allow the cassette to make small tilts with respect to the cassette carrier around a tilt axis 10. The small tilts may be as large as 90 degrees. The optical fibres may enter the cassette through the entrances 6 which are close to the tilt axis 10 so that tilting the cassette 3 only leads to a small torsion of the optical fibre 25 2 without a risk of damaging the fibres. The cassette 3 is also provided with an open ring 9 for positioning and/or securing the cassette in a cassette carrier.
Figure 3b discloses an enlarged view on the part of the holder of figure 3a indicated by A. The holder 1 is provided with clamps 11G, each clamp being provided with two clamp members positioned opposite each other for clamping an optical fibre connection in between 30 the clamp members. Two different clamps, for example 11H and 111 for clamping neighbouring optical fibre connections have clamp members 13 and 17 being positioned in between the two neighbouring fibre connections, on a line 19 in the first direction which is parallel to the fibre connections it may clamp. By positioning two clamp members for clamping two neighbouring fibre connections in between the place where the neighbouring 35 fibre connections will be clamped on a line parallel to the fibre connections the clamp members will take less space in a direction perpendicular to the first direction. The clamp members 13, 17 of the two different clamps 11H, 11G have a center which is shifted a small -5- distance in a direction perpendicular to the line 19 towards the optical fibre connection it may clamp so as to provide space for deformation of the clamp member at the side opposite the side where the optical fibre connection is clamped. The pattern of the clamp members is repeated so that an alternating design of the clamp members is made. Between two clamp 5 members a hole 21 is provided in the base of the clamp which can be used to push a fibre out of the clamp with a pin. In a clamp without holes a pair of tweezers may be used to get the fibre connection out of the clamp and this may damage the optical fibre connection.
Figure 3c discloses a three dimensional view on the holder 1 with three optical fibre connections clamped therein and a cut away portion in the bottom right corner of the figure. 10 Optical fibre connection 4A (as here depicted without fibre connected thereto) is clamped with two clamps 11 A. By clamping the fibre connections 4A with two clamps 11A the fibre connection 4A can be clamped very stabile. Fibre connection 4B is clamped with two clamps 11B as well. The cut away portion gives a good view on the hole 21 that is provided to the base of the clamps to make it possible to remove a fibre connection from a clamp by putting 15 a pin in the hole 21.
Figure 3d discloses a cross-section along the line G of the holder of figure 3c. The cross-section shows clamps 11A, 11B without an optical fibre connection in it. In the holder of the example twelve optical fibre connections can be clamped with each clamp having their own clamp members.
20 Figure 4a is a three dimensional view on the cassette 3, the holder 1 and the clamps 13. From the figure it can be seen that the cassette is made out of one piece of plastic.
Figure 4b is a three dimensional view on the backside of the cassette 3. The holes 21 in the back of the cassette 3 provide a space for a pin to eject the fibres from the clamps.
Figure 5 discloses multiple cassettes 3 which are mounted with a holding system 37 25 on a DIN or top hat rail 33. The holding system 37 comprises a cassette carrier 31 and two stops 35. The cassette carrier 31 is provided with multiple channels formed by walls 41 for providing guidance to the optical fibres to be guided to the cassettes 3 via the entrance 6 (see figure 3a) and the carrier comprises holes in which the mounting extensions 8 fit so as to connect the cassette 3 with the cassette carrier 31 in a way that the cassette 3 can tilt 30 with respect to the cassette carrier 31. The cassette carrier is further provided with a mount for mounting the cassette carrier 31 on the rail 33. The stops 35 may be used to keep the cassettes 3 in an open position so that a mechanic has more easily assess to the fibres and provides a maximum to the tilt of the cassettes 3. The stop may be provided with a strip 39, for example comprising Velcro ™ to secure the cassette 3 in a tilted position to the stop 35 35 and the rail 33. The stops 35 may be provided with an inclined surface with, for example an inclination of 45 degrees, so that the cassettes 3 can be positioned in a tilted position -6- against the stops 35. To make it easy to connect the strip 39 to the cassette 3 the open ring 9 is provided to the cassette 3.
Figure 6 illustrates multiple cassettes 3 mounted in the holding system 37 on the rail 33 via cassette carrier 31. All cassettes are closed and fixed on their position in the holding 5 system with the strip 39 of Velcro™ and the stops 35.
Figure 7 illustrates a cassette carrier 31, two stops 35 and a DIN or top hat rail 33 from the back side. The multiple cannels formed by walls 41 that are used to guide the optical fibres through the carrier to the cassettes have a slightly circular shape so as to protect the optical fibres for sharp bends. The mount 42 that is provided to the cassette 10 carrier 31 on both sides of the rail 33 is designed to clamp the cassette carrier on the rail 33.
Figures 8a to 8c illustrate a method how the strip of, for example Velcro ™ 39 may be used to secure the cassette 3 via the open ring 9. The strip is bended a little by the mechanic so that it is less wide (see Fig. 8a). The strip is pushed past the open ring extensions 43 into the open ring 9 (Fig. 8b) and subsequently the strip is relaxed so that it 15 expands again to a straight form and the strip of Velcro ™ secures the cassette 3. By bending the strip now in a direction perpendicular to the direction the strip was bended in Figure 8a and 8b, for example around the extensions 43, the strip can be secured against bending in the other direction so that it will not move out of the open ring 9. Alternatively, a closed ring can be used, but the mechanic than has to put the point of the strip through the 20 ring 9 of the cassette 3 very precisely which costs more time than the above described method.
Figures 9a to 9c illustrate an alternative method for securing the cassette with the strip. The strip 39 may be tilted a little to get the strip passed the extensions 43 (see figure 9b). If the strip has passed the extensions the strip is tilted back to its initial position and the 25 strip is within the open ring 9. By bending the strip 39 around the extensions 43 in a similar way as described in relation to Figures 8a to 8c the strip may be secured so that it will not move out of the open ring 9.
Figures 10a and 10b disclose a cassette 3 which is similar to the cassette of figure 3 but has a different holder 1. Figure 10a discloses a top view and figure 10b discloses a 30 cross-section along line G-G in figure 10a. The holder 1 is provided with clamp 111A, each clamp comprising clamp members being positioned opposite each other for clamping an optical fibre connection 21 in between the clamp members. Two neighbouring clamps, for example 111A and 111B for clamping neighbouring optical fibre connections 21 have clamp members 113 and 117 positioned on a line parallel to the optical fibre connection 119. The 35 clamp members 113,117 of the two neighbouring clamps 111 A, 111B have a center which is shifted a small distance in a direction perpendicular to the line 119 towards the optical fibre connection it may clamp so as to provide space for deformation of the clamp member -7- when the optical fibre connection is clamped. The clamp members are further provided with a cam 120 (only visible in figure 10b) for securing the optical fibre connection in the clamps. Between the clamp members a hole 21 in the form of a square is provided so as to allow the installation engineer to push the optical fibre out of the clamp via the hole 21. The pattern of 5 the clamps is repeated so that an alternating design of the clamp members is made. In this way less space for the clamp members is used. In a clamp without hole a pair of tweezers may be used to get the fibre connection out of the clamp and this may damage the optical fibre connection. The fibre connection 4 is clamped by two different clamps 111A and 111G, the clamps in the holder 1 are configured so that each fibre connection is clamped by two 10 clamps. The distance between the clamps 111G and 111A is equal to the distance between other clamps that together have to clamp a different fibre connection. In the configuration of figure 3a the distance between the clamps clamping a fibre connection may vary for different fibre connections.
The present invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing 15 from its essential characteristics. The described embodiments are to be considered in all respects only as illustrative and not restrictive.
