At this time, the ejector guide contact surface G) of the attachment/detachment tool is the ejector guide 09.
The steel ball (Φ
fits into the groove part 11!11 of the plug rear part 041. In this state, the tabs (23) of the adapter are pushed out and the connection with the groove 011 is released, and by pulling out the attachment/detachment tool, the axial bonding force between the pressurizing part and the groove 09 is transferred to the connector ferrule OD. Since the coupling force in the axial direction is designed to be larger than that of the sleeve (21) of the adapter, the optical connector plug Oe is removed from the optical connector adapter (2) while attached to the attachment/detachment tool.

(While the rotational position can be fixed by fitting the steel ball (4), it is not necessary to keep the rotational direction constant when removing the steel ball (4). It is sufficient to simply fit the steel ball (4) into the groove 0.

ある。(Experimental Example) An optical connector attachment/detachment tool shown in FIG. 1 was created and tested. It was a cylindrical body with a length of +00++ m and a diameter of 12 m+m, and a slit with a width of 3.5 m++ was provided in the length direction so that an optical fiber cord or coated optical fiber could be inserted. Two steel balls with a diameter of 2IIIφ are pressurized with spring sleeves at each end of the cylinder, and ON and OFF symbols are written on the outer surface of the cylinder for convenience. .

た。When installing an optical connector plug, insert the plug into the ON side, fit the steel ball on the pressurizing part to the hole in the groove on the rear outer circumference of the plug, and fix it. In this state, insert the optical connector into the optical connector adapter first. By pressing the attachment/detachment tool having the plug, the tab of the adapter and the groove of the insertion guide of the plug are fitted and locked. After that, by pulling the attachment/detachment tool toward you, the pressurized part came off and only the attachment/detachment tool could be removed.

The fitting of the groove of the guide is released, and at the same time, the steel ball of the pressurizing part of the attachment/detachment tool and the groove of the rear part of the plug are fitted. In this state, pull out the attachment/detachment tool toward you (thereby also removing the optical connector plug).

d81 attachment/detachment reproducibility ±0. It was confirmed that the performance was within IdB and there were no problems in practical use. Furthermore, a similar evaluation was carried out by arranging optical connector plugs at a pitch of 15+n. When gripping the plugs using conventional fingers, approximately 30 mm of space was required, but when using the attachment/detachment tool of the present invention, a space of approximately 155 mm was required.
It was confirmed that there is no problem as long as there is a space of about φ, and that the optical connector can be connected and disconnected smoothly even in a narrow space.

。Furthermore, as shown in the front view (a) and side view (b) in FIG. I tried attaching and detaching the optical connectors of this book, and all were successful. Conventionally, it took about 15 seconds to remove five optical connector plugs, but with the above attachment and detachment tool, it took about 3 seconds to remove five optical connector plugs. They could be removed at the same time. In this way, it is extremely effective for attaching and detaching a plurality of optical connectors at once.

（発明の効果） −Ｌ述した本発明の光コネクタ着脱工具を用いることに
より下記の効果を奏する。(Effects of the Invention) - By using the optical connector attachment/detachment tool of the present invention as described above, the following effects are achieved.

ある。■In contrast to the conventional method of attaching and detaching optical connectors by holding them directly with fingers, attachment and detachment can be done using the tool of the present invention with an outer diameter of 12 mm, which improves the density of attachment of optical connectors. As mentioned above, the conventional space for holding with fingers is approximately 30m11.
However, when using the tool of the present invention, a space of about 15II11 pitches is sufficient.

ることができる。■ Conventionally, optical connectors were attached and detached using the tips of fingers, which made it difficult to apply sufficient force. However, in the present invention, two tools with a length of about 10 cm are used, so optical connectors can be attached and detached using the tips of the fingers. Sufficient operating force necessary for attachment and detachment can be applied via the tool.

■光コネクタプラグと工具との結合力は、スプリングス
リーブで加圧された鋼球の加圧部により実現しており、
着脱がきわめて容易である。■The coupling force between the optical connector plug and the tool is achieved by the pressurized part of the steel ball that is pressurized by the spring sleeve.
It is extremely easy to put on and take off.

It is possible to prevent the optical connector from being attached or detached by fingers, and it is possible to indirectly provide a locking function to the optical connector.
