Abstract

La presente invención se refiere a un elemento de empalme para utilizarse para empalmar a tope dos fibras ópticas; el elemento está formado de una hoja delgada de material deformable que tiene superficies opuestas y un par de ranuras paralelas formadas en una superficie, dos de las paredes que definen las ranuras forman un reborde que tiene lados iguales convergentes y una primer superficie para soportar la fibra entre ellas; las otras dos paredes laterales que forman las ranuras están separadas en sus porciones de base de las dos paredes por áreas de contacto a lo largo de las cuales se dobla la hoja, y las otras dos paredes laterales, se extienden desde las áreas de contacto a una primera superficie de la hoja e incluye áreas de superficie que definen dos superficies adicionales que soportan la fibra, las cuales están dispuestas en una relación angular entre sí y con la primer superficie de soporte de la fibra del reborde, cuyas superficies definen colectivamente un pasaje para la fibra óptica; más grande que las dimensiones de una fibra cuando la hoja se dobla para recibir y alinear dos extremos opuestos de la fibra en el eje del pasaje, y los lados de la hoja, paralelos a las ranuras forman patas que divergen entre sí con la hoja doblada y sirven para jalar las superficies de soporte una a la otra por el movimiento de los bordes de las patas entre sí para acoplar dos extremos de fibra y sujetarlos en posición axialmente alineada.
