Abstract

A device for holding optical fibres (1) on a printed circuit board (2) consists of a stand (3) which can be inserted into an opening (11) in the printed circuit board (2) and has a holder for at least one optical fibre, the holder consisting of two arms (7, 8) which are constructed in the form of hooks, and the arms (7, 8) being arranged side by side at a distance (14) which is larger than the optical fibre diameter, in such a manner that the hook openings (12, 13) in the two arms (7, 8) point in opposite directions, and said hooks jointly form a bushing for the optical fibre or fibres (1) (Figure). <IMAGE>

Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Hal­ ten von Lichtleitfasern auf einer Leiterplatte, bestehend aus einem Ständer, der an einem Ende mit einem in eine Öff­ nung der Leiterplatte einsetzbaren Befestigungselement ver­ sehen ist und am anderen Ende eine Aufnahme für mindestens eine Lichtleitfaser aufweist.The present invention relates to a device for Hal ten of optical fibers on a printed circuit board, consisting from a stand, which at one end with one in an opening voltage of the circuit board insertable fastener see and at the other end a recording for at least has an optical fiber.

Eine derartige als Kabelhalter dienende Vorrichtung ist aus der DE-OS 27 25 090 bekannt.Such a device serving as a cable holder is out DE-OS 27 25 090 known.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art anzugeben, die konstruktiv ein­ fach aufgebaut und leicht handhabbar ist beim Festlegen der Lichtleitfaser(n).The invention has for its object a device of the type mentioned at the beginning, the constructive one is structured and easy to use when setting the optical fiber (s).

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe durch die kennzeichnen­ den Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst.According to the invention, this object is characterized by the solved the features of claim 1.

Zweckmäßige Ausführungen der Erfindung gehen aus den Unter­ ansprüchen hervor.Appropriate embodiments of the invention are given in the sub claims.

An Hand eines in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungs­ beispiels wird nun die Erfindung näher erläutert.Based on an execution shown in the drawing for example, the invention will now be explained in more detail.

Die Figur zeigt eine stark vergrößerte, nicht maßstäblich dargestellte Vorrichtung zum Halten einer Lichtleitfaser 1 auf einer Leiterplatte 2, die z.B. mit Bauelementen eines optischen Senders oder Empfängers bestückt ist. Als Halte­ rungsvorrichtung dient ein Ständer 3, bestehend aus einem auf die Leiterplatte 2 aufliegenden Podest 4, an der Unter­ seite des Podestes angeordneten Befestigungsmitteln 5, 6 und zwei auf dem Podest stehenden hakenförmig ausgebildeten Armen 7, 8.The figure shows a greatly enlarged device, not shown to scale, for holding an optical fiber 1 on a printed circuit board 2 , which is equipped, for example, with components of an optical transmitter or receiver. As a holding device serves a stand 3 , consisting of a resting on the circuit board 2 pedestal 4 , arranged on the underside of the pedestal fasteners 5 , 6 and two hook-shaped arms 7 , 8 standing on the pedestal.

Die Befestigungsmittel für den Ständer 3 sind zwei mit Rast­ nasen 9, 10 versehene federnde Beine 5, 6 welche durch eine Öffnung 11 in der Leiterplatte 2 gesteckt werden und dort einrasten. Ist die Leiterplattenöffnung 11 rechteckig und sind die federnden Beine 5, 6 rechtwinklig angeordnet, so ist der Ständer gegen Verdrehen um seine Längsachse gesi­ chert. Sind dagegen die federnden Beine 5, 6 und die Leiter­ plattenöffnung 11 kreisförmig ausgebildet, so kann sich der Ständer 3 um seine Längsachse drehen. Das erleichtert u.U. das Einlegen der Lichtleitfaser 1 in die Halterungs­ vorrichtung, weil der Ständer 3 jeweils in die Verlaufs­ richtung der Lichtleitfaser 1 gedreht werden kann.The fasteners for the stand 3 are two with locking lugs 9 , 10 provided resilient legs 5 , 6 which are inserted through an opening 11 in the circuit board 2 and snap there. If the circuit board opening 11 is rectangular and the resilient legs 5 , 6 are arranged at right angles, the stand is secured against rotation about its longitudinal axis. In contrast, the resilient legs 5, 6 and the circuit board opening 11 are circular, the stand 3 can rotate about its longitudinal axis. This may make it easier to insert the optical fiber 1 into the mounting device, because the stand 3 can be rotated in the direction of the optical fiber 1 .

Die hakenförmigen Arme 7 und 8 auf der Oberseite des Po­ destes 4 dienen zur Aufnahme der Lichtleitfaser 1. Zwischen den beiden nebeneinander stehenden Armen 7 und 8 befindet sich ein Abstand, der größer ist als der Durchmesser der Lichtleitfaser 1. Außerdem sind die beiden Arme 7 und 8 so angeordnet, daß ihre Hakenöffnungen 12 und 13 in entgegen­ gesetzte Richtungen weisen und die Haken gemeinsam eine Durchführung für die Lichtleitfaser 1 bilden.The hook-shaped arms 7 and 8 on the top of the bottom 4 serve to receive the optical fiber 1st There is a distance between the two adjacent arms 7 and 8 that is greater than the diameter of the optical fiber 1 . In addition, the two arms 7 and 8 are arranged so that their hook openings 12 and 13 point in opposite directions and the hooks together form a passage for the optical fiber 1 .

Die Lichtleitfaser wird auf folgende Weise in die Haltevor­ richtung eingelegt: Zunächst legt man die Lichtleitfaser 1 in den Zwischenraum 14 zwischen den beiden Armen 7 und 8 und dann dreht man die Lichtleitfaser 1 um 90°, so daß sie seit­ lich durch die Hakenöffnungen 12 und 13 in die Haken hinein­ geführt wird. Die Endlage der Lichtleitfaser 1 in den haken­ förmig ausgebildeten Armen 7 und 8 zeigt die Zeichnung. Statt die Lichtleitfaser 1 um 90° zu drehen, kann auch, wie oben erwähnt, der Ständer 3 gegenüber der Lichtleitfaser 1 so gedreht werden, daß die hakenförmigen Arme 7 und 8 sie ein­ schließen.The optical fiber is inserted into the holding device in the following way: First, the optical fiber 1 is placed in the space 14 between the two arms 7 and 8 and then the optical fiber 1 is rotated through 90 ° so that it has been inserted through the hook openings 12 and 13 is inserted into the hook. The drawing shows the end position of the optical fiber 1 in the hook-shaped arms 7 and 8 . Instead of rotating the optical fiber 1 by 90 °, as mentioned above, the stand 3 can be rotated relative to the optical fiber 1 so that the hook-shaped arms 7 and 8 close it.
