Abstract

PURPOSE:To allow plugs of simple structure to be coupled together to face each other while matched and positioned accurately by linking both side walls having plug guide grooves in internal surfaces to each other through a leaf spring, and pressing them outward by plugs when those plugs are attached. CONSTITUTION:In plugs 12 to be coupled, plural optical fibers 20 are mebedded. On both side surfaces of each plug 12, semicircube cylindrical reference surfaces 19 are formed. An adapter 11 into which both plugs 12 are inserted consists of both side walls 16 and a leaf spring 18 for connecting both side walls 16 and has guide grooves for guiding the reference surfaces 19 of the plugs 12 in the internal surface. The leaf spring 18 of the adapter 11 is curved when no plug 12 is inserted and the actual width of the adapter 11 is less than the width Wp of the plugs 12. Therefore, the reference surfaces 19 of the plugs 12 are held while pressed elastically against the internal surfaces of the guide grooves 17.

lO is an optical fiber. In the example shown in Fig. 2, a reference rk14t is formed on the adapter l, and positioning is performed by pushing out the reference rk14t in the direction of the arrow M with a lug 2t spring 5 against this reference Ji114. In the case of the example shown in Fig. 9.82, strict dimensional smoothness is required for the horizontal machining, which is disadvantageous in terms of cost. The object of the invention was made in view of the above-mentioned drawbacks of the prior art, and is to provide a simple structure that does not require high dimensional accuracy in machining, and that allows books to be joined to be accurately aligned and opposed to each other. The purpose is to provide an optical multi-connector adapter that can.

+67 Example of Invention Figure 3 is a perspective view showing the structure of the original multi-connector according to the invention. A plurality of original fibers 20 are buried in the plug 12 to be coupled with their end surfaces exposed. The adapter 11 into which the two plugs 12 are inserted has semi-cylindrical parallel surfaces 19 formed on both sides of the plug 12. Then, the next inner ring 17 that guides the reference surface 19 of the e-near 2 group \2 is formed on each 114 II circular surface. Such an adapter 11 may be integrally formed by bending a plate spring material as shown in FIG. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 6, the plate spring 18 of the adapter 11 may be formed by integral molding or cutting of a metal material or plastic.

(7) As described in detail of the invention, in the original multi-connector adapter according to the present invention, the reference surfaces on both sides of the plug are always pressed and held against the guide surface of the adapter by the action of the leaf spring.
Therefore, both plugs can be precisely aligned and aligned along the seven guide surfaces with a simple structure and without requiring high precision in machining. In addition, as shown in Figure @8, leaf springs can be installed above and below 5. When installing and removing the plug, press the leaf spring from above and below to widen the gap between both guide grooves
It is possible to eliminate frictional resistance.
